50 Greatest WWE Raw Moments Ever
42. Seth Gets Tsunami'ed (August 4th, 2024)
Bruce Prichard almost immediately stopped having a sense of humour about bad WWE the second he re-signed with the company in 2019, having rebuilt his reputation alongside Conrad Thompson on their era-defining podcast. The Vince McMahon impressions diminished at a rate save for funny voices that were mostly a tribute to pre-established bits, and his acts of defiance when presented with objectively awful ideas stuck in the throat knowing that he was back in the fold.
"Hit that motherf*cker with a car" became shorthand for giving somebody a long injury layoff after WWE ran down Stone Cold Steve Austin at the 1999 Survivor Series (a bait-and-switch Prichard tried and failed to talk around on the podcast), but 2024's version not only incorporated an actual wrestling move but - as opposed to being the beginning of the end for Rikishi - was a star-making moment for the assailant.
Bronson Reed hitting Seth Rollins over and over again with the Tsunami (six in total) on the August 4th edition of the show was incredible. Embroiled in the rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, Rollins couldn't have known the attack was coming, and the unhinged repetition super-charged the Australian almost out of nowhere. Allegedly a call on the fly from somebody backstage for Reed to just go and go and go rather than hitting one or two, the blindside job instantly turned his second WWE run from being yet another damp squib into something that could provide use and benefit to the midcard.
It even extended to the pair linking up as part of The Vision in 2025 - Rollins reasoned that anybody that could take months of his career was worth having onside.
