00:00:02,035 --> 00:00:03,270
- I'm back boys.
2
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:05,038
- In the world of WWE,
3
00:00:05,105 --> 00:00:06,173
it's never goodbye-
4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,308
- There was never anyone any
better.
5
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:09,276
- -it's see you later.
6
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:13,113
- It's the Hall of Famer
herself.
7
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:14,047
- From the unimaginable-
8
00:00:14,114 --> 00:00:15,849
- What?
9
00:00:15,916 --> 00:00:16,950
Holy [bleep].
10
00:00:17,584 --> 00:00:18,952
- -to the unbelievable.
11
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,988
[Edge's msuic]
12
00:00:21,054 --> 00:00:21,588
- No.
13
00:00:21,655 --> 00:00:22,656
No way.
14
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:24,424
Edge is here.
15
00:00:25,659 --> 00:00:27,561
Today we look back at the
greatest professional wrestling
16
00:00:27,628 --> 00:00:29,796
shocking comebacks in history.
17
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:33,433
This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
18
00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:38,839
- Acknowledge me.
19
00:00:38,906 --> 00:00:40,073
- My God.
20
00:00:40,073 --> 00:00:42,276
- Stone Cold with beer bath.
21
00:00:42,342 --> 00:00:44,912
- This is surreal.
22
00:00:44,978 --> 00:00:46,079
- Look at this.
23
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:47,514
- He slammed him.
24
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:56,456
- Welcome, everyone to WWE's
Greatest Moments.
25
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:58,659
I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition,
26
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:00,193
we're looking back at some
of the greatest comebacks
27
00:01:00,193 --> 00:01:00,427
we're looking back at some
of the greatest comebacks
28
00:01:01,128 --> 00:01:02,362
that professional wrestling has
ever seen.
29
00:01:03,697 --> 00:01:04,631
- He's back.
30
00:01:04,698 --> 00:01:06,033
He's back.
31
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:06,566
- Let's kick things off in an
electrifying manner.
32
00:01:07,601 --> 00:01:10,270
- Let's kick things off in an
electrifying manner.
33
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:13,073
The most electrifying man in
Sports Entertainment, The Rock,
34
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:15,709
had left WWE in 2004
35
00:01:15,709 --> 00:01:18,111
to pursue a very successful
career in Hollywood.
36
00:01:19,146 --> 00:01:21,381
- The Scorpion King number one
again this week.
37
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:24,952
- Indeed, the number one movie
in America.
38
00:01:25,018 --> 00:01:28,255
- But when WrestleMania 27
needed a guest host,
39
00:01:28,355 --> 00:01:30,824
The Great One couldn't
pass up the opportunity
40
00:01:30,891 --> 00:01:33,160
to come back home.
41
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:40,067
We've been expecting the host of
this year's WrestleMania to
42
00:01:40,067 --> 00:01:43,704
to arrive here on
Monday Night Raw.
43
00:01:43,804 --> 00:01:46,273
- The rumors of who was
going to host WrestleMania
44
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:48,442
were, you know, everywhere.
45
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:50,043
We didn't want this getting out.
46
00:01:51,078 --> 00:01:53,447
- Whoever they bring out, he
gonn to be that dude,
47
00:01:53,513 --> 00:01:54,948
and lo and behold.
48
00:01:55,382 --> 00:02:00,821
[The Rock's music]
49
00:02:00,887 --> 00:02:02,956
- Oh my.
50
00:02:03,023 --> 00:02:04,391
The Rock is here.
51
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:06,927
- The goal to come back-
52
00:02:06,994 --> 00:02:09,997
The reason was simply the fans.
53
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:14,101
And to watch them respond the
way they did.
54
00:02:14,201 --> 00:02:20,307
Finally, The Rock has come
back home.
55
00:02:20,407 --> 00:02:22,209
[crowd cheers]
56
00:02:22,275 --> 00:02:24,511
- People were talking about and
making fun of John Cena.
57
00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:27,280
- You come out here with your
bright ass purple shirt,
58
00:02:27,347 --> 00:02:28,315
your bright green shirt,
59
00:02:28,382 --> 00:02:29,516
before that, your bright orange
shirt.
60
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:31,218
You're running around here
looking like a big fat bowl
61
00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:32,552
of Fruity Pebbles.
62
00:02:34,287 --> 00:02:36,823
- Rock called me a Fruity
Pebble.
63
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,992
Got a [bleep] ceareal
sponsorship with that.
64
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:40,894
That's excellent.
65
00:02:42,029 --> 00:02:44,431
He came back, and it was so
special.
66
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:47,868
- The connection with the
audience
67
00:02:47,934 --> 00:02:49,903
after seven years of
being away
68
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:51,304
was very, very special.
69
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:56,543
- There's no question that one
of the biggest superstars
70
00:02:56,643 --> 00:02:59,279
of the modern era
is Becky Lynch.
71
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,516
The Man is, quite simply, done
it all and conquered everything
72
00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:04,384
she sets out to accomplish.
73
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:06,186
In May of 2020, Lynch announced
to the world
74
00:03:06,253 --> 00:03:07,587
that she was pregnant-
75
00:03:07,654 --> 00:03:09,656
will be stepping away from the
squared circle.
76
00:03:09,756 --> 00:03:11,858
- You go and be a warrior
77
00:03:12,626 --> 00:03:14,361
'cause I'm going
to go be a mother.
78
00:03:15,595 --> 00:03:19,266
- But just how long would it be
until we saw Becky Lynch again?
79
00:03:22,602 --> 00:03:24,271
- There was a, I believe,
a medical issue
80
00:03:24,337 --> 00:03:26,973
that caused Bianca's
opponent to have to pull out
81
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,442
of SummerSlam,
82
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:31,311
and it was a huge moment and
extremely unexpected.
83
00:03:31,912 --> 00:03:34,981
- Sasha Banks is unable to
compete this evening.
84
00:03:36,016 --> 00:03:38,752
- Las Vegas is incredibly
disappointed.
85
00:03:39,753 --> 00:03:41,121
[Becky Lynch's music]
86
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:42,189
- What?
87
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:47,027
Yes.
88
00:03:47,027 --> 00:03:49,996
One of the biggest stars on the
planet.
89
00:03:53,033 --> 00:03:55,235
- Becky was the one that I
always wanted to work with.
90
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:57,070
- What do you say
91
00:03:57,170 --> 00:04:01,675
The EST and The Man
blow the roof off this joint?
92
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:03,076
[crowd cheers]
93
00:04:03,143 --> 00:04:05,312
- As happy as they were to see
me,
94
00:04:05,312 --> 00:04:08,448
at the beginning of the match,
95
00:04:08,515 --> 00:04:10,750
26 seconds later, they were
gonna wish
96
00:04:10,817 --> 00:04:11,985
that I never returned.
97
00:04:12,052 --> 00:04:13,019
[bell rings]
98
00:04:14,387 --> 00:04:15,422
- And Becky Lynch.
99
00:04:16,156 --> 00:04:18,625
Becky Lynch is taking care of
business
100
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:21,094
with a Manhandle Slam
101
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:22,062
cover on Belair.
102
00:04:22,129 --> 00:04:23,296
Lynch wins the title.
103
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:24,664
Lynch wins the title.
104
00:04:25,298 --> 00:04:29,302
- For Becky Lynch to go away and
have a baby
105
00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:31,872
and come back and it's like she
never missed a beat.
106
00:04:31,872 --> 00:04:33,440
That was so inspiring.
107
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:34,708
- What the hell just happened.
108
00:04:35,308 --> 00:04:38,745
- She showed that women do not
have to stay in a box.
109
00:04:38,845 --> 00:04:40,447
You can have it all.
110
00:04:40,514 --> 00:04:42,716
- Baby, I'm back.
111
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:49,055
- At the 1994 Royal Rumble, we
saw the unthinkable.
112
00:04:49,156 --> 00:04:50,991
The Undertaker was locked inside
a casket
113
00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:53,994
by several WWE superstars.
114
00:04:54,060 --> 00:04:56,163
But a resurrection was upon us.
115
00:04:56,229 --> 00:05:02,903
- I will not rest in peace.
116
00:05:03,003 --> 00:05:05,305
- Hoping to pull the wool over
everyone's eyes.
117
00:05:05,405 --> 00:05:08,108
The Million Dollar Man,
Ted DiBiase
118
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,710
brought the Dead
Man back to WWE.
119
00:05:11,444 --> 00:05:12,445
Or did he?
120
00:05:12,512 --> 00:05:14,948
- Paul Bearer, he's
claiming that you
121
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:17,484
don't have
the real Undertaker.
122
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:18,518
- Heading into SummerSlam,
123
00:05:18,585 --> 00:05:20,187
longtime manager Paul Bearer
124
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:22,189
promised to deliver
the real deal.
125
00:05:22,956 --> 00:05:30,230
- You're Undertaker against
my Undertaker at SummerSlam.
126
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:36,870
- Surely a one of a kind
matchup,
127
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:38,004
ladies and gentlemen,
128
00:05:38,638 --> 00:05:41,708
as Ted DiBiase's
Undertaker
129
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:43,610
makes his way to the
squared circle.
130
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:47,447
- Ted DiBiase claimed that he
had acquired
131
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:49,983
the services of The Undertaker.
132
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:53,386
But the rest of us are waiting
for the true Undertaker.
133
00:05:53,453 --> 00:05:54,988
- Where's The Undertaker
McMahon?
134
00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:57,057
- I just remember it being the
spectacle,
135
00:05:57,157 --> 00:05:58,858
the production, and everything
was done so big.
136
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:02,162
And I remember Paul Bearer with
the urn and the giant light.
137
00:06:02,229 --> 00:06:03,830
- The spirit of the Undertaker.
138
00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:04,631
Wait a minute.
139
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:06,166
[The Undertaker's music]
140
00:06:06,233 --> 00:06:08,602
- And oh my goodness.
141
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:14,674
- Now, that's, The Undertaker.
142
00:06:15,275 --> 00:06:17,077
- Man, when he came out in that
purple and-and
143
00:06:17,143 --> 00:06:19,312
stood up to The Underfaker,
144
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:20,480
I thought it was awesome.
145
00:06:20,914 --> 00:06:23,183
- Ted DiBiase's bogus-
146
00:06:23,283 --> 00:06:27,220
grey glove Taker versus
the original Undertaker
147
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,321
in the new purple-
148
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:30,423
- The Undertaker.
149
00:06:30,423 --> 00:06:32,759
Oh yeah,
the suplex.
150
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,295
Oh, yes.
151
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,030
That could do it right there.
152
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:39,232
Bogus Undertaker gets exposed
153
00:06:39,299 --> 00:06:40,367
in a matter of minutes.
154
00:06:40,433 --> 00:06:41,268
It was exciting.
155
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:42,068
And it was uh-
156
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,104
It was great to be back.
157
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:49,910
- To be a WWE superstar,
158
00:06:49,910 --> 00:06:52,279
one must possess a certain
grit to be the very best.
159
00:06:52,345 --> 00:06:55,682
On October 2007 John Cena
suffered a completely torn
160
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:56,850
pectoral muscle.
161
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:58,184
- I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
162
00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,219
- Here we go.
163
00:07:00,353 --> 00:07:01,821
- The prognosis was that he
would miss action
164
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:03,924
for at least six months.
165
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:06,793
And as they say, you can't keep
a good man down.
166
00:07:07,827 --> 00:07:10,897
And at the 2008 Royal Rumble,
the WWE universe
167
00:07:10,997 --> 00:07:13,600
counted down to our 30th entry.
168
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:17,470
It's a moment that still has
Madison Square Garden buzzing.
169
00:07:17,470 --> 00:07:19,072
[buzzer sound]
170
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:23,944
- Who's number 30?
171
00:07:24,044 --> 00:07:25,278
[John Cena's music]
172
00:07:25,345 --> 00:07:26,046
- What?
173
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:27,080
- Wait a minute.
174
00:07:27,714 --> 00:07:28,682
What the hell?
175
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:30,150
- What is this?
176
00:07:31,051 --> 00:07:32,285
- It's John Cena.
177
00:07:34,187 --> 00:07:35,989
- He was standing like this.
178
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:37,657
And he looked up and he
smiled.
179
00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:40,026
- I've never heard anything that
was louder.
180
00:07:41,561 --> 00:07:45,565
- The roof is exploding off of
Madison Square Garden.
181
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,234
- He was supposed to be out for
a year,
182
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:49,970
and he's back in three months.
183
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,173
- I made extreme gains very
fast,
184
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:54,607
and called everybody up and was
like,
185
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:56,276
"Hey, I think I'm ready to go."
186
00:07:56,943 --> 00:07:58,611
There is no tough Guy award.
187
00:07:58,978 --> 00:08:01,414
- It's down to Cena and
The Game.
188
00:08:02,182 --> 00:08:04,417
- The whole time we were in the
ring, I just had goosebumps.
189
00:08:04,517 --> 00:08:06,086
So bad ass.
190
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:08,822
- Tons of strength and Cena does
it.
191
00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:10,657
- Whoa ho.
192
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:16,162
- WWE superstars have an amazing
tendency to prove the experts
193
00:08:16,229 --> 00:08:20,967
wrong by coming back much sooner
than anyone else would.
194
00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:27,774
- A superhuman display of
physical strength by John Cena.
195
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:33,346
- When you think of the greatest
tag teams of all time,
196
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:36,182
you have to put the Hardy Boyz
right at the top of that list.
197
00:08:36,816 --> 00:08:39,018
Matt and Jeff literally changed
the game
198
00:08:39,119 --> 00:08:42,422
and became a beloved fixture of
WWE for decades.
199
00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:45,825
But in 2010, the Hardy Brothers
left WWE
200
00:08:45,892 --> 00:08:47,794
and pursued other career
opportunities.
201
00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:51,664
- This is not goodbye forever.
202
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:54,200
This is only goodbye for now.
203
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:58,438
- But would we ever see The
Hardys in WWE again?
204
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:03,309
Welcome to WrestleMania.
205
00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:05,845
The title is hanging high
above the ring.
206
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:09,315
In this Raw Tag Team
Championship ladder match.
207
00:09:10,984 --> 00:09:14,721
- Ladies and gentlemen, this
ladder match
208
00:09:14,788 --> 00:09:20,727
has now become
a fatal four way.
209
00:09:20,794 --> 00:09:23,163
- It's very rare that you have a
legitimate surprise
210
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:25,365
where people don't know this is
going to be happening.
211
00:09:25,432 --> 00:09:27,567
- We made people think that we
were coming out
212
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:30,270
in order to be in this
three way match,
213
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:31,771
but then all of a sudden.
214
00:09:31,838 --> 00:09:33,673
[The Hardy Boyz music]
215
00:09:33,673 --> 00:09:34,274
- What?
216
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:35,842
- Oh, my.
217
00:09:37,477 --> 00:09:38,845
Matt and Jeff.
218
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:40,680
The Hardy Boyz are here.
219
00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:42,882
You got to be kidding me.
220
00:09:43,316 --> 00:09:45,151
- When you hear that reaction,
you don't just hear it,
221
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:46,386
you feel it.
222
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:48,354
- It's just like exactly where
we were supposed to be
223
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:49,389
in that moment.
224
00:09:50,657 --> 00:09:53,560
- The Hardys have completely
turned this match on its head.
225
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:55,862
- Twist of fate.
226
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:57,564
From the top of the ladder.
227
00:09:58,865 --> 00:10:01,768
Jeff Hardy, the thrill seeker.
228
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:03,970
Swanton Bomb.
229
00:10:04,904 --> 00:10:06,439
And now Matt Hardy
230
00:10:06,506 --> 00:10:07,841
at the top of the ladder.
231
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:12,445
The Hardy Boyz are seven time
champions.
232
00:10:12,512 --> 00:10:15,281
- It was at Charlotte whenever I
pull down that first title,
233
00:10:15,348 --> 00:10:16,783
you just see everybody standing
up in the back.
234
00:10:16,883 --> 00:10:19,285
and they're so
genuinely excited.
235
00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:21,821
- One of the greatest
WrestleMania moments ever.
236
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:25,592
- Everybody was just so cool and
happy that we were there.
237
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:27,393
- When it comes to moments,
that's up there, man.
238
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:28,795
It might be number one in my
opinion.
239
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:31,397
- But to walk back out there
into our home where,
240
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:33,433
Matt and Jeff Hardy was truly
born.
241
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:34,968
And to get that kind of
reception,
242
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:36,035
it's really amazing.
243
00:10:36,536 --> 00:10:38,304
- Welcome home
244
00:10:38,404 --> 00:10:39,906
Matt and Jeff.
245
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,312
- The 1980s saw a boom period
for professional wrestling
246
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:47,313
across the board,
247
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:52,018
including WWE's biggest rival
promotion WCW.
248
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:55,822
One of WCW top stars of the day
was the total package,
249
00:10:55,922 --> 00:10:57,023
Lex Luger.
250
00:10:57,023 --> 00:11:00,627
But in 1993, Luger left and
joined WWE,
251
00:11:00,627 --> 00:11:04,430
and it's successful prime time
cable show Monday Night Raw.
252
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:09,035
Not to be outdone, WCW began its
very own prime time cable show
253
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:11,971
to go head to head with WWE on
Monday nights.
254
00:11:12,038 --> 00:11:14,974
- WCW Monday Nitro.
255
00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:17,877
- In the very first episode, one
of the most shocking comebacks
256
00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:23,049
ever took place in a moment that
made WCW a must see television.
257
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:26,786
- The Mall of
America
258
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:28,888
the only building
big enough
259
00:11:28,955 --> 00:11:31,824
to hold the
debut edition.
260
00:11:31,824 --> 00:11:33,660
- The element
of surprise.
261
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,062
The spontaneity of the show.
262
00:11:36,162 --> 00:11:37,997
That's what Nitro represented.
263
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:41,601
- They flew me in that same day
and did hide me at a hotel,
264
00:11:41,668 --> 00:11:43,036
and they waited till like 30
minutes
265
00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:44,304
before the show
started.
266
00:11:44,404 --> 00:11:46,606
Brought me in with like, towels
around my head to a back door.
267
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:50,677
And it was definitely a big, big
shocker for wrestling fans.
268
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:54,147
- Later on in this live debut
broadcast.
269
00:11:55,248 --> 00:11:58,985
Oh, what in the hell is he doing
here?
270
00:11:58,985 --> 00:11:59,953
Get the king off of-
271
00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:01,187
- Who?
272
00:12:01,187 --> 00:12:02,889
[bell rings]
273
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:03,523
- Get him outta-
274
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:04,224
Get the camera off of him.
275
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:05,191
- What is this?
276
00:12:05,258 --> 00:12:06,426
- Very well kept secret.
277
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:08,027
He had jumped his ship.
278
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:09,395
People were freakin' out.
279
00:12:09,696 --> 00:12:10,863
- He's cleaning house.
280
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:12,232
- Wait, Luger's in there.
281
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:13,766
- Lex Luger in the ring.
282
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:16,035
Lex Luger-
283
00:12:16,102 --> 00:12:17,036
- He's helping Hogan.
284
00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:17,870
- -clearing the ring.
285
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:19,005
- He's helping Hogan.
286
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:19,906
- Luger.
287
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:21,774
Whoa, wait a minute.
288
00:12:21,841 --> 00:12:25,511
- It really set us up for great,
great success
289
00:12:25,511 --> 00:12:27,347
because there was
already controversy.
290
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:30,950
- This is the most amazing turn
of events I have ever seen.
291
00:12:32,719 --> 00:12:36,756
- In 2016, personal differences
between Cody Rhodes and WWE
292
00:12:36,823 --> 00:12:40,360
led to Cody leaving the company
seemingly forever.
293
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:42,395
With Rhodes thriving in his
outside ventures,
294
00:12:42,462 --> 00:12:46,232
many fans thought they'd never
see him back in WWE again.
295
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:48,368
Or would they?
296
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:55,274
- Seth Rollins has no clue
who his opponent
297
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:56,409
will be here tonight.
298
00:12:56,943 --> 00:12:59,278
- There are so many rumors
swirling
299
00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:01,247
about who my opponent
was going to be.
300
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:04,217
- Come on, let's go.
301
00:13:04,317 --> 00:13:14,060
[Cody Rhodes' music]
302
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,429
- Cody.
303
00:13:16,429 --> 00:13:17,897
- Oh my God.
304
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:19,999
[yelling]
305
00:13:21,267 --> 00:13:22,235
?
306
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:24,671
- My eyes met a lot of people's
eyes
307
00:13:24,737 --> 00:13:27,774
and it was just a
beautiful experience.
308
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:31,077
- The prodigal son has returned.
309
00:13:32,712 --> 00:13:36,883
- I was in some ways a fan like
everybody else, trying to-
310
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:39,585
soak in the surreal nature of
the scene that we were seeing.
311
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:42,322
Special thing to be a part of,
312
00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:44,791
and I was very happy to be
able to facilitate it
313
00:13:44,857 --> 00:13:46,225
in some way, shape, or form.
314
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:48,961
- I sort of like looking around,
315
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:50,763
and everyone's face was just
like-
316
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:51,831
- Cross Rhodes.
317
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:56,035
[bell rings]
318
00:13:56,135 --> 00:14:00,707
- And Seth 'Freakin' Rollins'
Wrestlemania dreams
319
00:14:00,807 --> 00:14:03,309
became a nightmare.
320
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:08,214
- I had anticipated I would
never come back to WWE.
321
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:09,482
It's still surreal to me.
322
00:14:10,316 --> 00:14:13,419
- What a moment for Cody Rhodes.
323
00:14:17,056 --> 00:14:19,225
- It's clobbering time.
324
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:20,626
- The best in the world,
CM Punk,
325
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:22,929
is certainly no stranger
to controversy.
326
00:14:22,995 --> 00:14:23,663
- Oops
327
00:14:23,663 --> 00:14:25,198
I'm breaking the fourth wall.
328
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:27,633
- The outspoken Chicago
superstar has made a legendary
329
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:31,170
career by sticking to his guns
and speaking his mind.
330
00:14:31,237 --> 00:14:34,640
- I am the best in the world.
331
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:37,844
- So when CM punk left WWE in
2014,
332
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:39,345
it was all but a certainty,
333
00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:41,047
we'd never, ever see him again.
334
00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:44,217
But with Survivor Series 2023
taking place
335
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:46,152
in his hometown of Chicago,
336
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:49,722
one must learn to never say
never.
337
00:14:56,796 --> 00:14:58,398
- Me coming back in Chicago-
338
00:14:58,464 --> 00:14:59,899
It's a scary, daunting thought.
339
00:15:02,702 --> 00:15:04,103
- Cross Rhodes
340
00:15:05,204 --> 00:15:06,439
Cover.
341
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:08,374
Orton and company win.

[bell rings]
343
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:11,644
- Do I still got it?
344
00:15:11,711 --> 00:15:12,912
Are they gonna remember me?
345
00:15:12,979 --> 00:15:13,946
Are they going to care?
346
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:19,185
[CM Punk's music]
347
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:21,320
- Whoa.
348
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:22,722
- What?
349
00:15:22,822 --> 00:15:31,764
??
350
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:33,866
- Him returning to WWE after all
these years,
351
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,134
like while his music was
playing,
352
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:37,170
it was like, "What's happening?"
353
00:15:38,871 --> 00:15:41,307
- It has been quite the night
in Chicago.
354
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:43,910
Electric-
355
00:15:43,976 --> 00:15:45,144
to say the least.
356
00:15:46,312 --> 00:15:47,680
- Who's town is this?
357
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:51,150
I don't really have the words
to explain
358
00:15:51,217 --> 00:15:54,187
how that moment makes me feel.
359
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:56,489
There's a big part of me that's
still there.
360
00:15:56,556 --> 00:15:59,959
I left a huge part of me in
that moment.
361
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:00,426
I left a huge part of me in
that moment.
362
00:16:03,429 --> 00:16:07,066
[crowd chants "CM Punk"]
363
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,234
[yelling]
364
00:16:12,805 --> 00:16:16,075
- There's no denying the sheer
toughness of one Triple H.
365
00:16:16,075 --> 00:16:18,211
The Game has certainly made
a Hall of Fame career
366
00:16:18,277 --> 00:16:19,679
out of being the very best.
367
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:23,216
So in 2001, The Cerebral
Assassin pushed through a career
368
00:16:23,282 --> 00:16:26,152
altering quadriceps tear and
finished the match.
369
00:16:27,954 --> 00:16:30,823
Triple H went through eight
months of intense rehabilitation
370
00:16:30,923 --> 00:16:32,391
to get back to the stage he
loved.
371
00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:36,963
It was indeed a beautiful day on
January 7th, 2002,
372
00:16:37,029 --> 00:16:41,033
when The Game made his
triumphant comeback to WWE
373
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:45,471
to a thunderous ovation inside
Madison Square Garden.
374
00:16:50,543 --> 00:17:00,553
[Triple H's music]
375
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:10,596
[Triple H's music]
376
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:15,835
- I remember just getting a
rush, like it was just so loud.
377
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:17,970
It was overwhelming.
378
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,972
You know, it really was
emotionally,
379
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,040
for me, overwhelming.
380
00:17:23,476 --> 00:17:24,744
- This is as loud
381
00:17:24,844 --> 00:17:26,612
as any sustained roar,
382
00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:29,882
I have ever heard in Madison
Square Garden.
383
00:17:31,951 --> 00:17:33,519
- The crowd went nuts for him.
384
00:17:33,586 --> 00:17:35,955
They showed him that they love
him and they appreciate him.
385
00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:38,758
That crosses over into a very
real territory of how much
386
00:17:38,824 --> 00:17:40,793
the wrestling fans
appreciate you
387
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:43,529
as a humannbeing and a
performer.
388
00:17:43,596 --> 00:17:46,832
- I am The Game.
389
00:17:48,668 --> 00:17:52,004
It was a validation of
everything else I'd ever done.
390
00:17:52,872 --> 00:17:54,006
You just can't top it.
391
00:17:55,007 --> 00:17:58,811
And you can bet your ass
I'm back.
392
00:17:58,878 --> 00:18:02,315
[crowd cheers]
393
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:07,353
- It's now time for our number
one comeback of all time.
394
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,689
And it's a moment longtime fans
like myself
395
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,424
will never, ever forget.
396
00:18:12,158 --> 00:18:14,994
There is no bigger WWE superstar
in the mid 90s
397
00:18:15,061 --> 00:18:16,629
than Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
398
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:19,865
The Excellence of Execution
proved on a nightly basis
399
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:21,400
that he was certainly-
400
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:23,602
- The best there is,
the best there was,
401
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:25,438
and the best year ever will be.
402
00:18:26,138 --> 00:18:29,508
- But controversy surrounded
Bret in his last WWE match
403
00:18:29,608 --> 00:18:31,711
at Survivor Series 1997.
404
00:18:33,346 --> 00:18:34,113
- What?
405
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:35,081
- McMahon said ring the
bell.
406
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:36,148
[bell rings]
407
00:18:36,248 --> 00:18:37,283
- Wait a minute.
408
00:18:37,383 --> 00:18:40,987
- Bret Hart had been screwed out
of the WWE Championship,
409
00:18:40,987 --> 00:18:42,788
and out of WWE.
410
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:48,561
- Bret Hart I ran his ass out of
the World Wrestling --.
411
00:18:49,061 --> 00:18:51,964
- Many fans thought we'd never
see The Hitman back home.
412
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:59,205
- Making his first appearance
on Raw in over 12 years-
413
00:18:59,271 --> 00:19:05,044
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
414
00:19:06,946 --> 00:19:12,952
[Bret "The Hitman" Hart's music]
415
00:19:13,019 --> 00:19:15,988
[fireworks]
416
00:19:19,892 --> 00:19:22,662
- The time that he had away from
WWE,
417
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:24,697
I know it was really hard on
him.
418
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:28,034
- I got 12 years of things that
I wanted to get off my chest.
419
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,002
The very first thing I want to
do
420
00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:31,871
Shawn Michaels to come out here.
421
00:19:31,937 --> 00:19:34,507
[crowd cheers]
422
00:19:34,607 --> 00:19:38,244
- I didn't speak to Bret or see
him easily more than a decade.
423
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:41,714
Carrying that burden for both of
us in different ways was,
424
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:42,915
you know, was heavy.
425
00:19:42,982 --> 00:19:45,484
You're not the only one that's
been carrying this around
426
00:19:45,551 --> 00:19:46,519
for 12 years.
427
00:19:47,386 --> 00:19:48,888
- Both are tired of fighting
each other and-
428
00:19:48,954 --> 00:19:51,424
and having this ill
will.
429
00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:53,592
My career and your career
shouldn't always
430
00:19:53,659 --> 00:19:56,762
be tagged by what happened
at Survivor Series.
431
00:19:56,829 --> 00:19:59,432
If you want to bury the hatchet,
let's bury it right now.
432
00:20:06,072 --> 00:20:08,474
[crowd cheers]
433
00:20:08,474 --> 00:20:10,443
- It was like a big, giant
weight
434
00:20:10,509 --> 00:20:12,812
carrying around all
that anger and grief.
435
00:20:14,113 --> 00:20:16,315
The best thing I ever did was to
make peace with it.
436
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:25,224
- A moment many WWE fans never
thought they would ever see
437
00:20:25,291 --> 00:20:27,259
The Hitman back
where he belongs.
438
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,629
One thing's for sure-
439
00:20:30,696 --> 00:20:32,298
there's no place like home.
440
00:20:33,199 --> 00:20:36,202
That'll do it for this edition
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
441
00:20:36,268 --> 00:20:38,604
I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at the greatest comebacks
442
00:20:38,671 --> 00:20:42,074
ever seen in professional
wrestling.
443
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,476
[yelling]
