25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2023

Following WrestleMania XXVIII, there was a landscape shift in WWE on the Raw following the biggest night in wrestling. It would constantly be called things like "bizarro world" by the commentary team; fans (who'd travelled from all over the globe) congregated in an arena to provide the rowdiest crowd of the year, and they hoped to be treated to a show packed full of incident to set up the next year, or few months at least, in WWE.

These last few years has seen this format being tempered slightly.

Due to rising ticket costs, pricing out the loudest fans, and fewer dramatic incidents, the Raw after WrestleMania is either beginning to lose its aura or already has, depending on who you talk to. Of all of the Raw after Mania's to blame for this, the 3 April Raw from Crypto Arena following WrestleMania 39 is the worst offender. Vince McMahon's last-minute rewrites were allegedly to blame.

Seth Rollins literally had a segment where he conducted the crowd singing his song and just left afterwards, and the show was littered with the kind of Vince-esque nonsense and scattergun booking that fans had been so grateful to see the back of.

With rumors circulating that McMahon was going to once again be heading up creative, the tidal wave of goodwill towards WWE after most of 'Mania all but evaporated in 24 hours. It was a bitter pill to swallow after one of the best supershows in years.
