10 Best WWE Non-WrestleMania sets of all time

#9 Invasion 2001

Separate entrances for warring factions.

Regardless of how you feel about the Invasion storyline from the early 2000’s, the stage from the 2001 Invasion Pay per View really hammered home the Us v. Them mindset for the night. Featuring separate entrances and walkways for the respective sides (WWE and Alliance) the stage was set up in a Y layout to portray that each side had their own backstage areas.

This stage is a great example of less is more, all the lavishness of previous and future stages are not at play here, something as simple as different doors for superstars to walk out of was enough to provide the viewer with the thought that these people do not like each other to the extent that all sharable space had to be split among the groups.
