When The Rock says wrestle,

the people will say Mania.

Wrestle--

The WrestleManias of the 2010s

delivered some of the greatest moments

of the grandest stage's illustrious history.

From the highest of stakes-

She did it.

Becky Lynch.

to the most unbelievable of outcomes-

The streak is over.

the Showcase of the Immortals only

gets better with each passing decade.

Oh, my God, look at this.

Today we look back at one of the most exciting

eras of WrestleMania, the 2010s.

Oh, RKO.

This is WWE's Greatest Moments.

If you smell-

Oh, my God.

What the hell are you doing?

Absolutely unbelievable.

Hulkamania is here.

Welcome, everyone,

to WWE's Greatest Moments.

I'm Michael Cole.

And on this edition, we celebrate the most recent

decade of the pinnacle of sports entertainment, WrestleMania.

The 2010s were an incredible decade

for the show of shows and showcased

some of the greatest superstars in WWE history.

However, when it comes to WrestleMania immortality,

few can compare to "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan.

I'll never forget sitting ringside as The Hulkster

returned to the stage he helped build to welcome 60,000

New Orleans fans in attendance, millions watching around

the world, to the historic WrestleMania 30

at the Superdome.

How apropos is it to have Hulkamania

running wild in the Superdome?

Well, let me tell you something, brother.

Well, it was cool.

I'd like to welcome everyone here at the Silverdome

to WrestleMania 30.

I was just so rattled, like, you know,

said the wrong name of the building.

And tonight, there are definitely gonna be more special

WrestleMania moments, and you never know when one of those

special moments--

The Texas Rattlesnake.

It is thunderous.

It's good to be back here at the Silverdome.

Everybody I've ever met

in this business has a great sense of humor,

but it was a great spectacle

and one that was highly entertaining.

Oh, he's here.

The Brahma Bull is here.

The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,

and "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan have finally come back

to the Superdome.

It's the three biggest stars in-

in the industry.

The biggest stars that wrestling has-has ever made.

It was all amazing.

The Mount Rushmore of Sports Entertainment has just

come to life at WrestleMania 30 .

End of the day, whether it's the great era

of the 80s, whether it's the Attitude Era,

you want to look back in our business

of professional wrestling,

our goal is just to entertain the fans.

Probably the greatest WrestleMania

moment in history.

There's no superstar in WWE history

quite like Kofi Kingston.

He brings a level of precise skill, excitement, and

fearlessness the likes of which we've never seen.

Whoa, look at this.

Look at this.

The fan favorite had been climbing the WWE

mountain for over a decade but was never able

to reach the summit.

Kofi went for it all.

The world was behind Kofi Kingston,

who gave it everything he had and then some.

Kofi Kingston would finally get

the chance of a lifetime to main event the grandest stage

for the first time, WrestleMania 35 .

All I've ever wanted in this industry

was a chance, and after 11 long, hard-fought years,

it's happening, baby.

Gentlemen, the road has been long,

but we are finally here.

Ever since I was a kid, I had always pictured

myself wrestling at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.

This is the biggest match of Kofi Kingston's

career, and Daniel Bryan has every intention

of spoiling it for him.

Oh, my God, Kofi went off of the desk.

There's the knee.

Good night, Kofi.

Kofi has still got life.

Kofi earned his way toward that WrestleMania,

and he put on a hell of a show for us.

Kofi measuring the champion.

Trouble in paradise.

Cover him.

Oh.

Kofi did it.

Kofi did it.

Kofi did it.

Kofi is champion.

Time honestly, like, stopped for a second.

I just couldn't believe that it-- that it actually happened.

This story could finally have an ending that it deserved.

11 long years.

Kofi Kingston, he's done it, man.

WrestleMania is known

as the Showcase of the Immortals.

It's where superstars become legends,

and those legends pass their torches to the next generation,

but oftentimes, those stars forget the ones

who paved the way.

And at WrestleMania 32, the League of Nations

would be forced to remember.

There are no three men in history

who could ever go toe-to-toe with this unit.

The Heartbreak Kid.

Mr. WrestleMania's back.

Mick Foley, Cactus Jack.

No.

No, it's not.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

The legends are there in the ring,

WrestleMania 32.

Grandest stage of them all.

This is an incredible moment.

Well, now it's three on three.

Would have never expected to see this.

To be able to mix it up with heroes from my youth

was massive for me.

Mr. Socko and the Mandible Claw.

It was a feel-good moment.

Sweet Chin Music.

Stone Cold Stunner.

Taking the Stone Cold Stunner is something that,

to this day, people constantly ask me about.

This is unreal.

Afterwards, we felt the need to bond with them.

Oh, wait a minute.

Okay.

Oh, my gosh.

I've never seen Stone Cold dance.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, no, Stunner.

Oh, hell yeah.

We are able to stand across

from three legends.

Come on, man, we've made it, so it was great.

Three of the greatest of all time.

utiveH

and Stephanie McMahon ruled WWE

with an iron fist and answered to no one.

Everyone will get what they deserve.

This evolution of WWE

wouldn't be possible without me.

WrestleMania 31, the power couple,

demanded the fans' praise.

We own every superstar,

just like we own all of you.

WrestleMania 31 was

Triple H and I in the ring, only to be interrupted.

Oh, my, The Rock is here.

Rock comes out, puts me in my place,

puts Triple H in his place.

You don't own them, and you damn sure

don't own The Rock.

Only I wasn't going to stand for it.

Oh.

Wow.

What are you going to do about it, huh?

Are you going to hit a woman?

The Rock would never hit a woman,

but I have a very good friend who would be happy to.

It's Ronda Rousey.

The greatest UFC Women's Champion of all time.

So, I was like, "It's my turn."

I was trying so hard not to smile.

Oh, no.

I go to hit Ronda.

She blocks me, puts me in the armbar.

Triple H rushes her.

She hip tosses Triple H.

Ronda took down The Game.

She was like a giddy little kid backstage.

If you smell what The Rock and Ronda is cooking.

WrestleMania 25 gave us what many believed

to be the greatest match in the event's history.

Shawn Michaels versus The Undertaker.

Michaels caught in midair.

Tombstone.

He did it.

17-0.

Unfortunately for Shawn Michaels,

he fell short that night and was unable to overcome The Phenom.

The following year, he challenged The Undertaker

to one more face-off.

You and me, WrestleMania, one more time.

If I beat you, your career is over.

Shawn Michaels has been obsessing

about this match for a year.

We had to put a match together th-that had him

on-on more sense of desperation.

The Undertaker said Shawn Michaels' obsession

would cause him to pay the ultimate price.

Because he makes one mistake

and he gets beat, it's over.

Is the career over?

No.

What?

The camaraderie of the boys

who're sitting around watching Taker and Shawn.

In those moments, you get to be a fan.

Last Ride.

Is it the end of Michaels' career?

No.

Shawn Michaels will not surrender.

I'd always been able to garner sympathy

from the people, but now I garnered it from him.

Stay down.

"Dang, dude, stay down.

I don't want to do this to you."

Tombstone.

The Undertaker is 18-0.

I couldn't think of a better way

to go out.

There's a little bit of-- a little bit of heartache.

And that's the way it's supposed to be.

Shawn Michaels' career is over.

(Mhe show of shows.

The event is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

And in 2015, 1 superstar went for a ride unlike any other.

Seth Rollins was strapped in and ready to roll at WrestleMania 31

against "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton.

That wouldn't be the only time we'd see Rollins that night.

Coming up next, we've been waiting for this.

Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins, versus Randy Orton.

It was my first WrestleMania singles match,

which is awesome.

To be able to have that against a legend

like Randy is really cool.

Rollins, second rope.

Wow.

The moonsault.

Seth Rollins is one of the best competitors

of this generation.

This match with WrestleMania just goes to show

his timing is impeccable.

Rollins again to the midsection.

Seth Rollins may have Randy a position for another Curb Stomp.

Orton with an RKO.

Oh, my God.

That's one of the top RKOs that I've ever done.

And those people were in awe.

What an RKO by Orton, and Randy Orton wins.

We had a really good match

that night, but then maybe the moment at the end of the night

overshadowed the match.

The ultimate prize at stake.

F5 to Reigns.

Who can capitalize?

Seth Rollins, Mr. Money in the Bank.

I don't think I've ever ran so fast in my life

down that thing like Usain Bolt.

This is brilliant.

Curb Stomp to Reigns.

Cover by Rollins.

Rollins wins the title.

Rollins wins the title.

Took that title, and I got the hell out of there.

It was so special and so cool.

Rollins with the heist of the century.

WrestleMania 27 saw "The Game" Triple H face off against

''The Phenom" The Undertaker

in a brutal No Holds Barred match.

Though the Dead Man would come out victorious-

he'd leave the ring in unceremonious fashion.

The Undertaker refused to let that image of him being carted

out as a lasting memory

and offer Triple H one last shot at immortality.

This thing is far bigger than you and I.

You want WrestleMania.

You got it.

This time the two would clash

inside the devil's playground.

The Heartbreak Kid would serve as a special guest referee in a

match dubbed "Hell in a Cell."

Here we go.

You got two guys who are ass kickers

and don't take a step back.

The story was so good and intermeshed.

It's wicked.

It's physical.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Every time that we were with one another went

above and beyond just being good.

Sweet Chin Music.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Sweet Chin Music and a Pedigree.

A Pedigree.

Streak's over.

Streak's over.

My God, the count.

They've done it.

They-

Oh.

Oh, they haven't done it.

It's not over.

The streak lives.

That was our last big shot all together of us doing

what we do with each other.

It's one of my favorite moments of all time.

The sign of-of disaster.

The count and the three.

Standing up there-

with those two guys who had the utmost respect

for probably the most special moment in my career.

An image we can never replicate.

WWE's most popular rising star in 2014 was

undoubtedly Daniel Bryan.

You people have believed in me,

and you have no idea how much that means to me.

The young up-and-comer worked his way up

to the WWE title picture only to be constantly circumvented

by The Authority.

You might not be an A,

but you are a B plus.

The stable of Triple H

and Stephanie McMahon put every obstacle in front of Bryan.

Battered and bruised, Daniel Bryan had two more hurdles

between him and championship gold, "The Animal" Batista and

the WWE Champion, Randy Orton.

This is a triple threat match

for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Main eventing WrestleMania

for people in our industry,

that's the highest accomplishment

that you can get.

Can Daniel Bryan pull off a miracle?

This is Bryan's, like, day he's been dreaming

of since he's been a little boy.

Right on that shoulder.

There's no way that he can be 100%

for this match.

Batista Bomb into an RKO.

Oh, my God.

We all have roadblocks,

but it's it is about believing in oneself.

And that's what I admire most about Daniel.

That's Triple H and Stephanie.

You have to have the bad guy to-

to make the good guy the hero.

Bryan's got the sledgehammer.

Right to The Game.

Daniel Bryan, knee to Batista.

Come on, Bryan.

Yes Lock.

Come on, Daniel.

He did it.

Daniel Bryan did it.

You got to be kidding me.

That's what you are in this business for,

is moments like that, to see 70,000, 80,000 people,

they're well doing the "Yes" chant.

One of those moments that are very few and far between.

A miracle on Bourbon Street.

women's division

within WWE underwent a massive evolution.

At WrestleMania 32, in front of the largest crowd in

WrestleMania history, Hall of Famer Lita unveiled

the brand-new WWE Women's Championship.

The winner of the triple threat will be the recipient

of the first-ever WWE Women's Championship.

Later that night, this new title

would be contended by the WWE's fastest-rising stars,

Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks.

Who would prevail and be the face of this new era,

women's wrestling?

All three of these superstars,

their first matches at WrestleMania.

The three of us were

front and center on A&T Stadium.

It's every superstar for themselves

in this matchup.

We all had this same passion

and the same vision.

Yes, and Sasha with a Frog Splash.

I wanted it to be a headliner

that people talked about.

It was so touch and go.

You really didn't know who was going to win.

What in the world?

Charlotte going up top.

Charlotte on the top rope.

Moonsault by Charlotte.

Down go Becky and Sasha.

And now Charlotte looking for the Figure Four.

Can she bridge into the Figure Eight?

She's got it.

Becky tapped out.

And dare I say, we have the match of the night.

We steal the show.

I think we just saw the start

of the greatest era of women's wrestling of all time.

That just put us three on a different

trajectory for the rest of our careers.

It is now time for our

number one moment, and it's one the WWE Universe

never thought they'd get to see.

The Rock would make his fateful return to WWE in 2011.

Just in time to host WrestleMania 27.

The Rock has come back to WrestleMania.

But his return wouldn't be celebrated

by all, as current face of the company, John Cena,

confronted the icon.

You are The People's Champ.

Listen to the people.

They want John Cena versus The Rock.

The stage was set.

The 78,000 in attendance at WrestleMania 28

were on the edge of their seats to bear witness

to this once-in-a-lifetime dream matchup.

Two faces of their generations.

Two icons in their prime.

If you're going to talk about

John Cena and The Rock,

it calls for a little bit of this.

He came out swinging.

I came out swinging.

No punching.

But here comes Rock teeing off.

Oh, no, no, no.

Attitude Adjustment by Cena.

Cena's got him.

Cena's got him, and Rock kicks out.

We're giving you something and creating something

that's going to go down in history,

which makes it so special and so unique

and so once in a lifetime.

Whoa.

Leg drop to the back of the neck.

This is great.

This is awesome.

It is electrifying.

It is-

And there's The Rock.

Look out.

Rock Bottom.

Rock Bottom.

The Rock-

has beaten John Cena.

It's not about winning or losing.

It's about the moments.

And that's what made it entertaining.

You know who the big winner was?

You and me and the entire WWE Universe.

The Showcase of the Immortals

continues to grow into a larger spectacle every year.

Today, it's become a gigantic two-night event,

spreading its reach even farther than any of us at WWE

could've ever imagined.

Well, that'll do it for this edition

of WWE's Greatest Moments.

Hope you enjoyed this look back at the very best of WrestleMania

throughout the 2010s.
