25 Greatest WWE Raw Moments Ever

13. Split Screens (TIE) (9th June 2008/13th February 2017)

A sly double-header here, but worthy of joint inclusion because of how one fed into another and both were born of a segment that would come to epitomise the enhanced violence of the flagship.

When Shawn Michaels threw Marty Jannetty through Brutus Beefcake's back window, he set a new standard for sick splits, and symbolically paid the price for his actions a decade and a half later when Chris Jericho kicked off their barbaric war by launching him into his 'Jeritron'.

'Y2J' should have been more mindful of the karmic punishment loaded within each shard. He'd meet the same fate nearly ten years after that when Kevin Owens callously concluded the pair's 'Festival Of Friendship'. He'd be wise to steer clear of anything breakable in the 2020s.
