Here are WWE’s Top 25 Moments in Raw history - and you won’t believe #2!

In building to Monday, Jan. 22’s big anniversary episode, WWE has been counting down the top moments in Raw’s history. The top 25 were revealed on a Network special hosted by Corey Graves and Peter Rosenberg which debuted on Jan. 15 - subscribers can watch that here.

The process for deciding these picks isn’t crystal clear. Graves says it was “decided in part by YOU - the WWE Universe”, but how big a part? Regardless, someone in Stamford blessed these selections, so in addition to arguing about what made the cut or the order, feel free to read way too much into the list.

To paraphrase Mark Henry, it’s what we do.
