00:00When The Rock says wrestle, the people will say mania, wrestle.
00:06Mania!
00:08The WrestleMania's of the 2010s delivered some of the greatest moments of
00:11the grandest stage's illustrious history.
00:14From the highest of stakes.
00:15They did it, Becky Lynch.
00:18To the most unbelievable of outcomes.
00:21The streak is over.
00:22The showcase of the immortals only gets better than each passing decade.
00:27My God, look at this.
00:28Today we look back at one of the most exciting eras of WrestleMania, the 2010s.
00:34Oh, RKO!
00:36This is WWE's greatest moments.
00:42Here's your Superman!
00:45My God, what the hell are you doing?
00:49Absolutely unbelievable.
00:51Look, I'm in the eye of this deal.
00:59Welcome everyone to WWE's greatest moments, I'm Michael Cole.
01:03And on this edition, we celebrate the most recent decade of the pinnacle of sports entertainment.
01:08WrestleMania.
01:10The 2010s were an incredible decade for the show of shows and showcase some of the greatest
01:15superstars in WWE history.
01:17However, when it comes to WrestleMania immortality, few can compare to the immortal Hulk Hogan.
01:24I'll never forget sitting ringside as the Hulkster returned to the stage he helped build to welcome 60,000 New
01:32Orleans fans in attendance, the millions watching around the world, to the historic WrestleMania 30 at the Superdome.
01:46How apropos is it to have Hulkamania running wild in the Superdome?
01:52Well, let me tell you something, brother.
01:55Well, it was cool.
01:56I'd like to welcome everyone here at the Silverdome to WrestleMania 30.
02:02I was just so rattled, I, you know, said the wrong name of the building.
02:07And tonight, there are definitely going to be more special WrestleMania moments.
02:13And you never know when one of those...
02:16The Texas Rattlesnake!
02:18It is thunderous!
02:20It's good to be back here at the Silverdome.
02:23Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
02:26Everybody I've ever met in this business has a great sense of humor, but it was a great spectacle and
02:31one that was highly entertaining.
02:32And this man...
02:34Oh, he's here!
02:35The Bravo Bull is here!
02:37The Rockstone Colt Steve Austin and the immortal Hulk Hogan have finally come back to the Superdome!
02:46Superdome!
02:47Superdome!
02:48That's the three biggest stars in the industry.
02:52the biggest stars that wrestling has ever made.
02:55It's all amazing.
02:57The Mount Rushmore of sports entertainment
02:59has just come to life at WrestleMania 30.
03:02End of the day, whether it's the great era of the 80s,
03:06whether it's the Attitude Era,
03:08you want to look back in our business of professional wrestling.
03:11Our goal is just to entertain the fans.
03:14Probably the greatest WrestleMania moment in history.
03:20There's no superstar in WWE history quite like Kofi Kingston.
03:24He brings a level of precise skill, excitement, and fearlessness,
03:28the likes of which we've never seen.
03:30Whoa, look at this! Look at this!
03:33The fan favorite had been climbing the WWE mountain for over a decade,
03:37but was never able to reach the summit.
03:39Kofi White for it all!
03:41The world was behind Kofi Kingston,
03:44who gave it everything he had and then some.
03:47Kofi Kingston would finally get the chance of a lifetime
03:50to main event the grandest stage for the first time
03:53at WrestleMania 35.
03:56All I've ever wanted in this industry was a chance.
03:59And after 11 long, hard-fought years,
04:02it's happening, baby!
04:10Gentlemen, the road has been long, but we are finally here!
04:15Ever since I was a kid, I had always pictured myself wrestling at WrestleMania
04:19for the WWE Championship.
04:21This is the biggest match of Kofi Kingston's career,
04:24and Daniel Bryan has every intention of spoiling it for him.
04:29Oh, my God! Kofi went off of the disc!
04:33There's the knee!
04:34Good night, Kofi!
04:36Kofi's still got life!
04:38Kofi earned his way toward that WrestleMania,
04:42and he put on a hell of a show for us.
04:45Kofi measuring the champion!
04:47Troubling paradise!
04:49Cover him!
04:51Kofi did it!
04:52Kofi did it!
04:53Kofi did it!
04:55Kofi is champion!
04:56Time honestly, like, stopped for a second.
04:58I just couldn't believe that it actually happened.
05:01This story could finally have the ending that it deserved.
05:06Eleven long years!
05:09Kofi Kingston has done it, man!
05:15WrestleMania is known as the showcase of the immortals.
05:18It's where superstars become legends,
05:20and those legends pass their torches to the next generation.
05:24But oftentimes, those stars forget the ones who paved the way.
05:27In a WrestleMania 32, the League of Nations would be forced to remember.
05:35There are no three men in history who could ever go toe-to-toe with this unit.
05:43The Heartbreak King!
05:45Mr. WrestleMania's back!
05:48McFoley, Cactus Jack!
05:51No!
05:52No, it's not!
05:54Stone Cold!
05:56Steve Austin!
05:57The legends are there in the ring.
05:59WrestleMania 32, grandest stage of them all.
06:01This is an incredible moment!
06:05Well, now it's three out of three!
06:07Would have never expected to see this!
06:09To be able to mix it up with heroes from my youth was massive for me.
06:14Mr. Sacco and the Manimal Claw!
06:17It was a feel-good moment.
06:19Sweet chin music!
06:22Stone Cold Stunner!
06:24Taking the Stone Cold Stunner, something that, to this day, people constantly ask me about.
06:30This is unreal!
06:34Afterwards, we felt the need to bond with them.
06:38Whoa, wait a minute.
06:39Okay!
06:41Okay!
06:41Oh, my gosh!
06:42I've never seen Stone Cold dance!
06:45Oh, no!
06:47Stunner!
06:48Oh, hell yeah!
06:50We are able to stand across from three legends.
06:54Come on, man.
06:54We made it, so it was great.
06:55Three of the greatest of all time!
07:02In 2015, Chief Executives Triple H and Stephanie McMahon ruled WWE with an iron fist and answered to no one.
07:11Everyone will get what they deserve.
07:14This evolution of WWE wouldn't be possible without me.
07:24WrestleMania 31, the power couple, demanded the fans' praise.
07:32We own every superstar just like we own all of you.
07:38WrestleMania 31 was Triple H and I in the ring, only to be interrupted.
07:44Hit your smile!
07:48Oh, my!
07:50The Rock is here!
07:52Rock comes out, puts me in my place, puts Triple H in his place.
07:58You don't own them, and you damn sure don't own The Rock.
08:07Only, I wasn't going to stand for it.
08:09Oh!
08:11Wow.
08:11What are you going to do about it, huh?
08:13You're going to hit a woman?
08:15The Rock would never hit a woman, but I have a very good friend who would be happy to.
08:22It's Ronda Roundby!
08:24Greatest UFC Women's Champion of all time!
08:26I was like, it's my turn!
08:29I was trying so hard not to smile.
08:32Oh, no!
08:33I go to hit Ronda.
08:34She blocks me, puts me in the armbar.
08:37Triple H rushes her.
08:38She hip-tosses Triple H.
08:40Ronda took down the game!
08:42She was like a giddy little kid backstage.
08:46It's just a match!
08:49With The Rock!
08:50And Ronda is cooking!
08:54WrestleMania 25 gave us what many believe to be the greatest match in the event's history.
08:59Shawn Michaels versus The Undertaker.
09:01Michaels caught in mid-air!
09:03Two stone!
09:04He did it!
09:0517 and 0!
09:07Unfortunately for Shawn Michaels, he fell short that night and was unable to overcome the phenom.
09:13The following year, he challenged The Undertaker to one more face-off.
09:17You and me, WrestleMania, one more time.
09:25If I beat you, your career is over.
09:33Shawn Michaels has been obsessing about this match for a year.
09:37We had to put a match together that had him on more sense of desperation.
09:42The Undertaker said Shawn Michaels' obsession would cause him to pay the ultimate price.
09:47If he makes one mistake and he gets beat, it's over.
09:50Is the career over?
09:52No!
09:53What?
09:54The camaraderie of the boys, like, sitting around watching Taker and Shawn.
09:58In those moments, you get to be fans again.
10:02Last ride!
10:03Is it the end of Michaels' career?
10:06No!
10:07Shawn Michaels will not surrender!
10:12I'd always been able to garner sympathy from the people.
10:16But now I'd guarded it from him.
10:18Stay down!
10:22Dang, dude, stay down.
10:23I don't want to do this to you.
10:26Oh!
10:32Toon Stone!
10:34The Undertaker is 18-0!
10:36I couldn't think of a better way to go out.
10:38There's a little bit of heartache.
10:41And that's the way it's supposed to be.
10:43Shawn Michaels' career is over.
10:50WrestleMania is known as the show of shows.
10:52The event is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
10:56And in 2015, one superstar went for a ride unlike any other.
11:00Seth Rollins is strapped in and ready to roll at WrestleMania 31
11:04against the legend killer Randy Orton.
11:07But that wouldn't be the only time we'd see Rollins that night.
11:13Coming up next, we've been waiting for this Mr. Money in the Bank,
11:16Seth Rollins versus Randy Orton.
11:19It was my first WrestleMania singles match, which is awesome.
11:22To be able to have that against a legend like Randy is really cool.
11:25Rollins, second rope.
11:26Wow!
11:28Seth Rollins is one of the best competitors of this generation.
11:33This match at WrestleMania just goes to show his timing is impeccable.
11:38Rollins again to the midsection.
11:39Seth Rollins may have Randy up his ins for another curve stop.
11:44Orton with an RKO!
11:45Oh, my God!
11:47That's one of the top RKOs that I've ever done.
11:49And those people were alive.
11:52What an RKO by Orton!
11:54And Randy Orton wins!
11:56We had a really good match that night.
11:58But then maybe the moment at the end of the night overshadowed the match.
12:01The ultimate prize at stake.
12:04And by the Rage!
12:05Who can count for the lives?
12:09Seth Rollins!
12:10Mr. Money in the Bank!
12:12I don't think I've ever ran so fast in my life down that thing like Usain Bolt.
12:19This is brilliant!
12:23Curb stop the Rage!
12:26Covered by Rollins!
12:28Rollins win the title!
12:29Rollins win the title!
12:30I took that title and I got the hell out of there.
12:34It was so special and so cool.
12:36Rollins win the heist of the century!
12:40WrestleMania 27 saw the game Triple H face off against the Phenom, The Undertaker, in a brutal no-holds-barred
12:47match.
12:47Though the dead man would come out victorious, he'd leave the ring in unceremonious fashion.
12:53The Undertaker refused to let that image of him being carted out as a lasting memory.
12:58And offer Triple H one last shot at immortality.
13:03This thing is far bigger than you and I.
13:07You want WrestleMania?
13:09You got it!
13:13This time, the two would clash inside the Devil's Playground.
13:16The Heartbreak Kid would serve as a special guest referee in a match dubbed Hell in a Cell.
13:25Here we go!
13:27You got two guys who are ass-kickers and don't take a step back.
13:31The story was so good and intermeshed.
13:35It's wicked!
13:37It's physical!
13:39Oh no!
13:40Oh no!
13:40Oh no!
13:41Every time that we were with one another, it went above and beyond just being good.
13:49Sweet-tier music!
13:50Look at this!
13:51Look at this!
13:52Sweet-tier music and a pedigree!
13:54A pedigree!
13:56Streak's over!
13:57Streak's over!
13:57I got the count!
13:58They've done it!
13:59Oh, they haven't done it!
14:02It's not over!
14:03It's not over!
14:04The streak lives!
14:06That was our last big shot altogether of us doing what we do with each other.
14:11One of my favorite moments of all time.
14:14The sign of the disaster!
14:19The count!
14:20And the three!
14:23Standing up there with those two guys who I had the utmost respect for, probably the most special moment in
14:31my career.
14:32An image we can never replicate.
14:38WWE's most popularizing star in 2014 was undoubtedly Daniel Bryan.
14:44You people have believed in me and you have no idea how much that means to me.
14:51The young up-and-comer worked his way up to the WWE title picture only to be constantly circumvented by
14:58the authority.
14:59You might not be an A, but you are a B+.
15:05The stable of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon put every obstacle in front of Bryan.
15:10The battered and bruised Daniel Bryan had two more hurdles between him and championship gold.
15:15The animal Batista, the animal Batista, the WWE Champion, Randy Orton.
15:23This is a triple threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
15:27Main eventing WrestleMania, for people in our industry, that's the highest accomplishment that you can get.
15:34Can Daniel Bryan pull off a miracle?
15:36This is Bryan's, like, day he's been dreaming of since he's been a little boy.
15:42Right on that shoulder.
15:44There's no way that he can be a hundred percent for this match.
15:48Batista bomb into an RKO!
15:50Oh my God!
15:52We all have roadblocks, but it is about believing in oneself.
15:55And that's what I admire most about Daniel.
15:57That's Triple H and Stephanie!
15:59You have to have the bad guy to make the good guy the hero.
16:03Bryan's got the sledgehammer!
16:05Right to the game!
16:07Daniel Bryan needed Batista!
16:09Come on, Bryan, Yes Lock, come on, Daniel!
16:14He did it, Daniel Bryan did it!
16:17You gotta be kidding me!
16:18That's what you are in this business for in moments like that.
16:22It's the 70,000, 80,000 people there, we're all doing the Yes Champ.
16:25One of those moments that are very few and far between.
16:28A miracle on Bourbon Street!
16:33In 2016, the women's division within WWE underwent a massive evolution.
16:38At WrestleMania 32, in front of the largest crowd in WrestleMania history, Hall of Famer Lita unveiled the brand new
16:45WWE Women's Championship.
16:48The winner of the Triple Threat will be the recipient of the first-ever WWE Women's Championship.
16:58Later that night, this new title will be contended by the WWE's fastest rising stars, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and
17:09Sasha Banks.
17:10Who would prevail and be the face of this new era of women's wrestling?
17:18All three of these superstars, their first matches at WrestleMania.
17:23The three of us were front and center on AT&T Stadium.
17:27It's every superstar for themselves in this match-up.
17:31We all had this same passion and the same vision.
17:35And Sasha with a frog splash!
17:37I wanted it to be a headliner that people talked about.
17:41It was so touch-and-go, you really didn't know who was gonna win.
17:45What in the world?
17:47Charlotte going up top!
17:48Charlotte on the top rope!
17:51Moonsault by Charlotte!
17:53Down go Becky and Sasha!
17:55And now Charlotte with a figure four!
17:57Can she bridge into the figure eight?
17:59She's got it!
18:00Becky tapped out!
18:01And dare I say we have the match of the night.
18:04We steal the show.
18:05I think we just saw the start of the greatest era of women's wrestling of all time.
18:11That just put us three on a different trajectory for the rest of our careers.
18:18It is now time for our number one moment.
18:20And it's one the WWE Universe never thought they'd get to see.
18:25The Rock would make his fateful return to WWE in 2011.
18:29Just in time to host WrestleMania 27.
18:32The Rock has come back to WrestleMania!
18:38But his return wouldn't be celebrated by all.
18:42As current face of the company John Cena confronted the icon.
18:46You are the people's champ!
18:48Listen to the people!
18:51They want John Cena versus The Rock!
18:56The stage was set.
18:57The 78,000 in attendance at WrestleMania 28 were on the edge of their seats.
19:02To bear witness to this once-in-a-lifetime dream matchup.
19:09Two faces of their generations!
19:13Two icons in their prime!
19:16We are going to talk about John Cena and The Rock.
19:20Call us for a little bit of this.
19:24He came out swinging, I came out swinging, but no punches were pulled.
19:28But here comes Rock, teeing off.
19:30Oh, no, no, no!
19:31Attitude adjustment by Cena!
19:33Cena's got him!
19:34Cena's got him!
19:35And Rock kicks out!
19:36We're giving something and creating something that's going to go down in history,
19:42which makes it so special and so unique and so once-in-a-lifetime.
19:47Whoa!
19:48Legs rocked to the back of the neck!
19:50This is great!
19:51This is awesome!
19:53It is electrifying!
19:55It is...
19:55And there's The Rock!
19:56Yes!
19:57Rock bottom!
19:59Rock bottom!
20:02The Rock has beaten John Cena!
20:05It's not about winning and losing, it's about the moments.
20:09And that's what made it entertaining.
20:11You know who the big winner was?
20:12You and me and the entire WWE Universe!
20:16The Showcase of the Immortals continues to grow into a larger spectacle every year.
20:22Today, it's become a gigantic two-night event, spreading its reach even farther than
20:26any of us at WWE could have ever imagined.
20:30That'll do it for this edition of WWE's Greatest Moments.
20:33Hope you enjoy this look back at the very best of WrestleMania throughout the 2010s.
