10 Best WWE Returns Of The Decade
7. The Dudley Boyz - Raw (24 August 2015)
When SummerSlam moved to the Barclays Center in New York, the-powers-that-be attempted to give their second-biggest event of the year a larger-than-life feel similar to that of WrestleMania, and part of that involved making the 'Raw After SummerSlam' a thing (much like the Raw After 'Mania). Whether or not that actually worked in the years that followed is up for debate, but you have to hand it to them for giving us one of the most memorable moments of the decade on the first one.
When those signature fireworks went off during The New Day's victory celebration, few of us actually knew what was going on. After all, it had been 10 years since the Dudley Boyz stepped into a WWE ring together and nobody in the current product used pyros quite like that. And yet, the legendary tag team appeared on the ramp and were greeted by an absolutely rapturous response from the WWE Universe.
From 'Whassup?' to 'D-Von get the tables!', the New York crowd recited all of their signature catchphrases back to them in a moment that truly highlighted how unforgettable they were, and it was one of those goosebump-inducing moments that just reminded you how much you love this product.
Michael Cole says 'nobody expected this' an awful lot during surprise returns (even when we all usually do), but this was one of the rare occasions in which nobody saw it coming.
