10 Best WWE Returns Of 2018 (So Far)
3. Stone Cold Steve Austin - Raw (22 January 2018)
The 22 January edition of Monday Night Raw was a night of celebrations, because it was the long-running TV series' 25th birthday. Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon presented their father Vince with a plaque to commemorate all his hard work. Vince, however, wasn't pleased and called the plaque "cheap." He then launched into a tirade about how all of the people in attendance - as well as those watching at home - should be grateful to him because he alone was responsible for all of Raw's success.
Stone Cold Steve Austin clearly disagreed, as the legend's music hit. The crowd erupted with cheers as the king of WWE's Attitude Era made his way down to the ring. Clearly rattled, Vince attempted to take control of the situation by convincing 'The Rattlesnake' that, due to his age, he wasn't up to a fight. Instead, the Chairman of WWE suggested Austin take up his problem with Shane. Austin ended up giving Shane a Stunner - which garnered a positive response from the crowd. Stone Cold and Vince then shared a beer, but Austin soon turned on him, delivering a hellacious Stunner to the Chairman - to an absolutely rapturous response.
Considering the night was about celebrating all of Raw's success, this was the perfect tribute to the Attitude Era's most iconic feud.
