20 Unbelievable Moments 2016

While Nakamura and Styles were undoubtedly two of the most unbelievable debuts in 2016, one of the most shocking returns to the company came in the lead up to WrestleMania 32.

After presenting Stephanie McMahon with the "Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence" award on Raw in February, Vincent K. McMahon (and Stephanie) stood in awe when four familiar words played throughout Detroit's Joe Louis Arena...

"Here Comes The Money!"

After a seven year absence, Shane McMahon was back in WWE!

While there have been other talents gone from the company longer, none was the proverbial prodigal son. Shane had stayed away from the promotion for almost a decade. Many fans always assumed Shane would return to the company some day, but that didn't make his return any less shocking.

The aftermath of Shane's return left a lot to be desired especially considering the stipulation for his WrestleMania match against The Undertaker was rendered moot just one day after losing. Still, Shane's return has been a welcome sight by many wrestling fans and it's good enough for #3 of the most unbelievable moments of the year.
