10 Most Bizarre Endings In WWE Raw History
Raw moments that left us wondering what the hell just happened.
Chaotic or controversial endings are a staple of Monday Night Raw. As storylines progress and build towards monthly pay-per-views, it's necessary for things to become a little contentious or attention-grabbing - otherwise, why would anybody care about the blow-off?
However, as we all know, Raw occasionally likes to overstep the mark, plunging their entire fanbase into confusion as a result.
Sometimes the risk pays off and fans respond well to the mayhem before them, meaning that the intensity is successfully ramped up. Often, however, everything comes right back in WWE's face, leaving many of us angry, non-plussed, or (in the case of this week's show) very, very confused.
Here are the ten strangest endings in the history of Monday Night Raw. Strap yourselves in and prepare to get weird - for better or worse...
10. The Most Contentious Dusty Finish Ever?
It seems fitting to start at the moment which inspired this entire list - the ungodly mess of an ending to the recent title match between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
The pair wrestled one another to a stalemate, ending with a double-pinfall, both men's shoulders arguably on the mat. Having announced Mick Foley and Daniel Bryan as the new Raw and SmackDown GMs, Stephanie and Shane joined the pair at ringside. A scrum of authority figures and referees ensued, with Ambrose and Rollins seemingly as confused as the rest of us in the middle of it all.
Finally Stephanie McMahon took the mic and declared Seth Rollins the new WWE Champion. A controversial ending, sure, but a bizzare one? Hardly. The Authority have pulled heelish stunts for years now.
However, the decision was then reversed, and the title returned to Dean Ambrose after Raw went off the air. Only those viewing via the WWE Network would have happened to catch this, prompting mayhem and widespread gossip to ensue.
