#3. WWE RAW is XXX

On January 23, 2023, in Philadelphia, a special episode of the Monday show aired titled RAW is XXX as a way to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the program. Many legends like D-Generation X, Kurt Angle, APA, Hulk Hogan, and more were present at the show. However, the most surprising part of this episode was possibly The Undertaker.

The Deadman shockingly got involved in LA Knight and Bray Wyatt's feud. The Hall of Famer emerged with his American Badass gimmick and threatened LA, Bray emerged to attack his rival, and Wyatt and his former WrestleMania opponent shared a personal moment that many considered was a "passing of the torch" moment.
