#5 Triple H “fires” Vince McMahon

Enter captio — Triple H relieves Vince McMahon of his duties

That time WWE ratings were on fire no matter if it was Raw or Smackdown. All the storylines were going forward as they thought.

On July 18, 2011, The Game appeared at the end of Raw for the first time since the night after WrestleMania to deliver the message to his father-in-law Vince McMahon, in the storyline, the board of directors had declared a ‘vote of no confidence’ in the chairman and that he would take over WWE immediately.

This announcement came at the end of a Raw which struggled to live up to the previous night’s Money in the Bank PPV.

But before the final round of the WWE Championship Tournament on RAW was about to be started, Vince McMahon appeared and announced that the ring is cleared due to some important announcement.

After explaining the events that took place the night before at Money in the Bank, The Chairman calls out former WWE Champion John Cena to the ring.

But Mr McMahon received an unwelcome guest instead. Triple H, not seen on television since April, interrupted his father-in-law.

"The Game," COO of WWE, told The Chairman that his decisions of late have been called into question by WWE board members.

Triple H dropped a bombshell and announced that "he had been appointed to take over the day-to-day operations of WWE." He dropped another bombshell on The Chairman of WWE by announcing that "he has officially been stripped of his power and relieved of his duties from the WWE."

It was a little sentimental at-times but Mr. McMahon did a wonderful job of crying to add to a most intriguing twist to that storyline. As many of you know this was obviously a scripted performance but rumors are gathering that Vince McMahon may well take a step back in the near future.

#4 CM Punk drops the pipebomb

CM Punk dropes the Pipebomb — CM Punk spoke his heart out

One of the most talented performers in WWE history, CM Punk was the main attraction at that very time.

He was in the main event picture, winning the world championships and grabbing Money in the Bank briefcase, he did all of that. But the thing that made him frustrated was Mr McMahon's styles of handling of the superstars in WWE.

On June 27, 2011, on a live episode of Raw, he delivered a pipebomb on WWE that spared no one, so much so that the microphone's audio was cut off by WWE officials.

On that very episode, he called out Mr McMahon's daughter and son-in-law. Also, he criticised The Rock’s upcoming main-event booking at WrestleMania which was made prior to a year ago and proclaimed himself to be the 'best-in-the-world.'

Then he moves on to criticising the cheering fans and said they were part of the reason why he was leaving.

CM Punk was unhappy, he was frustrated, and he was ready to walk out the door. He was undoubtedly shooting on the biggest pro-wrestling promotion of all time, and he did it without hesitation while the whole world was watching.

The pipebomb shoot was a shocker that WWE allowed to happen, and it could not have come at a better time for Punk, or for the fans.

#3 Goldberg returns and squashes Brock Lesnar

Every one of us clearly remembers when Goldberg returned and shocked the world challenging Brock Lesnar for a match, with Lesnar accepting it.

But what come more even of a shock was Goldberg squashing 'The Beats Incarnate' in one minute and 26 seconds at Survivor Series adding one more victory to his side and making it 2-0 against Brock Lesnar.

That was something unforgettable, with finally someone appeared and conquered the conqueror.

Of all the ways the match could have ended, and of every possible booking that was predicted by so-called fans, a Goldberg squash match was never one of them. Lesnar not only looked unprepared, but he was also completely caught off guard.

Now the two have a reason to feud again, and that feud will likely take them to WrestleMania 33, where Lesnar paid his due by clearing the bout 2-1 against Goldberg and winning the WWE Universal championship from him.

Call it Lesnar was unprepared or Goldberg was stronger back than but the reality is he did slew 'The Beats Incarnate' in one minute and 26 seconds and give us the biggest upset of all time.

#2 The Hardy Boyz return at Wrestlemania 33

Return of The Hardy Boyz at WrestleMania 33

One could clearly remember what was the atmosphere back then when Hardy Boyz appeared out of the blue and get added into the Fatal Four-way for the Raw Tag Team Championship and winning the title, that was something that one could never think of.

Their return was highly underground that only few WWE officials know about it. The match was great they did entertain us and we get to witness the old Hardy Boyz.

Everyone can clearly feel how overwhelming was the atmosphere on The Hardy Boyz return and now we're getting 'Woken Matt Hardy' and 'Brother Nero Jeff Hardy' and one wonders what is next for them.

#1 21-1

The Undertaker's 21 straight victories at WrestleMania is considered one of the greatest streaks in sports history.

Well everything comes to an end, so did The Undertaker's streak. After battling in numerous epic matches and still coming out undefeated, it was something that no other superstar could or will achieve.

But, he left the WWE universe to shock when Lesnar got the better of him at WrestleMania 30. To this day, the shock still remains among the WWE universe, one wonders why it did happen in the first place.

The truth is that it didn’t have to happen. The Deadman could have taken the streak all the way down to his very last match, and went out on his own terms.

Imagine what would it do to the superstar career who defeat The Undertaker in his last match and finally arising as someone who conquered his streak.

Thinking about the streak no one would ever be able to match it, and no one would ever be able to take it away from him.

Of all the talents in WWE, Undertaker deserved it. This moment was most the most shocking one inthe history of WWE after the Montreal Screw Job.
