10 Coolest Moments From WWE Raw 25

10. Seeing The Manhattan Center All Dressed Up

It sucks that WWE didn't do more with the Manhattan Center setting on Monday. Moments such as The Dudley Boyz comeback or even Christian's 'Peep Show' segment would have gone a long way to appeasing those who felt ripped off. At least the place looked gorgeous on the night.

This was a love letter to fans who adored that original Monday Night Raw look. WWE went back to basics with a neon logo by the entrance, various Raw drapes, and even those old-fashioned blue ring posts. It all looked wonderful, so it's just a shame the action people - who had forked out up to $800, according to Jim Ross - actually saw didn't satisfy.

Depending on cost, it'd be sweet to see WWE return every now and then for a house show at Manhattan. The setting is intimate and the place would be rocking with the right matches. Hell, they could even get away with shooting NXT there.
