Kurt Angle returned for a final run in the WWE ring in 2018. He took on several WWE Superstars during the time, including Drew McIntyre. On the November 5, 2018, episode of WWE RAW, Angle and McIntyre competed in a singles match.

The Scottish Warrior was performing as a heel at the time and decided to gain more heat from the fans. After toying around with the WWE Hall of Famer, he locked Angle in the Ankle Lock. Even though The Olympic Gold Medalist tried his best not to tap out, he had no other option as McIntyre refused to release the hold.

Chris Jericho made one of the most iconic debuts in WWE history. He was also a major part of The Invasion storyline and chose to stay on Team WWE against the Alliance.

This led to a rivalry between him and The Rock, resulting in several championship matches between the two men. At WWE Vengeance Day 2001, Jericho and The Rock competed for a chance to become the first-ever undisputed WWF (WWE) Champion.

During the match, a distraction from Vince McMahon helped Y2J take advantage of the situation. He hit The Rock with a low-blow, and then nailed him with the Rock Bottom to win the match and the title.

This was arguably one of the biggest victories of Jericho’s career after which he went on to become an even bigger name in the industry.
