25 Best Moments Of WWE Monday Night RAW (Year-By-Year)

12. 2006: Rated R Gets Rated X

If the risqué content of the Attitude Era felt like edgy teenagers pushing buttons and breaking rules, the Ruthless Aggression era's risqué business felt like creepy old men unloading their baggage with no self-awareness. Still: it made for compelling television - if for all the wrong reasons.

So Edge was WWE Champion after cashing in the first-ever Money in the Bank contract. To celebrate his claim of the championship held by the likes of Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, and Hulk Hogan, the new champ decided to bone his girlfriend in front of a crowd of men, women, and children.

And yes, Vince Russo was years-removed from the company by then.

This segment is not "good," but it's so compellingly strange. You have to wonder just who decided this was a good idea and why. In the darkest days of RAW, such a sideshow was oddly what was needed. Also, John Cena, symbol of righteousness and hero to all children, delivered an FU to a half-naked woman who was just having sex.

Don't you just love WWE?
