10 Craziest Things That Ever Happened After WWE Raw Went Off The Air

2. Don't Skimp

The Spinaroonie contest made a post-show return alongside the originator himself, as Booker T's WWE comeback resulted in the silly sideshow substituting as an end-of-the-night knockabout for those that still happened to be in the ring.

The December 9th 2013 episode of Raw landed a place in WWE infamy for a dramatic closing segment featuring a host of ex-WWE Champions all getting shouted down by Daniel Bryan's 'Yes Movement'. It was a scene that had CM Punk p*ssing himself laughing on camera just two months shy of his acrimonious WWE departure, but this night at least afforded an air of friendship between 'The Voice Of The Voiceless' and his Authority rival Stephanie McMahon.

Both went where The Undertaker had dared not to a decade earlier, attempting laughably bad Spinaroonies to the utter joy of the crowd. Punk in particular drew derision having shed his tracksuit following the brawl that erupted as the show went off the air. Stephanie's power suit effort was impressive, but Punk's bravery in the face of near-nudity deserved even greater respect.
