Ranking Every WWE Raw Anniversary Show From Worst To Best

2. Raw XV (10 December 2007)

Paced to perfection and incredibly well scripted, Raw XV was unapologetic in its nostalgic leanings without remotely hurting the talent playing to an audience from the past for one night only.

Held in December ahead of the company's shift to High Definition in 2008 as the company concluded one of the darkest years in its history, the show was a lightweight tonic to the heavy cautionary tales from the last twelve months.

Loads of Triple H was an unexpected treat - he appeared in segments as a McMahon, the Evolution leader and DXer with a wink and a nod in each. Elsewhere the past and the present were smoothly fused as Mr Kennedy defeated Marty Jannetty, newcomer Cody Rhodes and veteran partner Bob Holly dethroned Tag Team Champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch and a spirtual sequel to WrestleMania X-Seven's Gimmick Battle Royal factored in some of the barely-missed footnotes of the Attitude Era.

A 'Greatest Superstar In Raw History' segment saw Vince callously award the prize to himself, before Undertaker, Mankind and finally Stone Cold Steve Austin all hit their finishers on him to close the show.
