Ranking the 5 best talk shows in WWE history

While the WWE Universe is invested in in-ring wrestling action, the entertainment they seek through talk shows also plays a big role. WWE has promoted a lot of these segments with unexpected twists and turns.

The exuberance and intrigue superstars create through their talk show segments is second to none. RAW and SmackDown, over the years, have had their fair share of talk shows and, when they take shape on PPVs, it's even more special.

Speaking of WWE talk shows, before we get into ranking the top five, another one debuted on the last episode of SmackDown.

Premiere of Happy Talk featuring Happy Corbin

Baron Corbin, who is called Happy Corbin, started this new talk show, Happy Talk. His pompous and gloated promo was different owing to everything expensive he wore, which he described made him happy.

Corbin then showed footage of how, on the last edition of SmackDown, he attacked Kevin Owens before their match, which made him happier. Having had enough, an irrate KO walked out as the first uninvited guest on Happy Talk, only to be attacked by the returning Riddick Moss. After decimating Owens, Moss and Corbin laughed even more as the segment came to an end.

The premiere of Happy Talk seemed entertaining and could bring more twists and turns going forward.

#5 WWE talk show – Alexa's Playgorund

Alexa Bliss is one of the best female superstars in WWE. The Five Feet of Fury packs a punch in everything she does, whether in-ring or on her talk show.

From her first talk show, A Moment of Bliss, to now Alexa's Playground, her segment has taken a turn, albeit the entertainment is still intact.

Having been an accomplice of The Fiend with regular visits to The Firefly Fun House, Alexa has honed her sinister abilities. Every guest–be it Eva Marie, Shayna Baszler or the WWE RAW Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair–is spooked entering the playground; especially with the presence of Alexa's petrifying doll Lilly.

#4 WWE talk show – Miz TV

One of the most must-see talk shows in WWE, Miz TV is certainly entertaining. With a natural gift of gab, The Miz makes every second of this talk show intriguing; especially when he is hosting as a heel.

Miz TV has been in play for almost a decade, having debuted with Booker T as the first guest on Sep.17, 2012 edition of RAW. The best part is the way Miz takes the scoop from controversial storylines, making every episode engaging.

#3 WWE talk show – Piper's Pit

The late Roddy 'Rowdy' Piper was a legend. Everything he did, right from in-ring action to cutting promos and conceptualizing Piper's Pit, was simply magical.

Piper's Pit's unparalleled legacy stretches from having guests like Hulk Hogan and the late Andre the Giant to the contemporary superstars in The Miz, John Cena, and the former Shield brothers in Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose.

The last guest on the show was Rusev aka Miro, the current AEW TNT Champion, in 2014 before Piper's death. 'Hot Rod' was simply brilliant in each segment with his shenanigans and confrontational nature.

#2 WWE talk show – Cutting Edge

WWE Hall of Famer Edge has been a phenomenal performer not only in the ring but also on his talk show, Cutting Edge. Having debuted in late 2005, this talk show has seen some of the best names in the business, like Ric Flair and Mick Foley, as guests.

The show's unique proposition was the Rated R Superstar inviting WWE Superstars who he was in a feud with, albeit in storyline to create more intrigue around their contests. Some of the famous segments were with The Undertaker and Batista in 2007-2008.

Certainly in a league of its own, Edge has always stirred up guests to create controversy on his talk show, much to the delight of the WWE universe.

#1 WWE talk show – The Highlight Reel

Chris Jericho, now an AEW star, had one of the most intriguing talk shows ever in WWE called The Highlight Reel. The Jeritron 6000 flatscreen TV featured on the show was much like his on-screen persona of being the best.

The talk show debuted in 2003 and had superstars like Goldberg, The Rock, Kevin Nash, Kane and Stone Cold Steve Austin, to name a few. One of the best segments ever on the show was Jericho attacking Shawn Michaels and putting him through the Jeritron 6000 amid their on-going feud.

Such was the caliber of Chris Jericho on the mic and his chemistry with every guest on the show that fans till date reminisce about every segment.
