You're still waiting for that mixed tag pitting Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero vs. Kermit The Frog and Miss. Piggy, aren't you? AEW should do everything in their power to tack that onto the All In card for London immediately. OK, not really. Jake Hager couldn't take the beating Kermit would hand out!

WWE was obsessed with drafting in celebrity guest hosts to appear on Raw between 2009-2010. The concept continued beyond that, but not every single week like it did for around 12 months back then. By all accounts, The Muppets weren't the worst guests, but they did provide some strange moments on the 31 October 2011 flagship.

Sheamus and Beaker were called family members, Animal played stand-in timekeeper by furiously hammering the ring bell, and then there was that standoff between Kermit and Swagger that topped anything from Jack's dreadful World Title run.

Cross-promoting with The Muppets and having burly wrestlers shout at small puppets was certainly a choice.
