#1 Wayne Rooney (WWE RAW November 9, 2015)
Legendary Manchester United player Wayne Rooney made an unlikely appearance on WWE programming. He showed up on the November 9, 2015 episode of WWE RAW. This show was held in Manchester, England. While Rooney didn't get into the ring and deliver a promo, he was part of a memorable segment with Wade Barrett and Sheamus.

During a promo, Sheamus and Barrett called Rooney out, and they insulted him. The two stars called themselves "championship material." They also joked that Manchester United's performance that season didn't meet that description. Barrett generated tremendous heel heat in this segment. It famously culminated with Rooney slapping the original leader of the Nexus, a move that delighted the crowd.

The following day, WWE posted a related video on its YouTube channel. In the clip, Barrett entered the Manchester United dressing room, hoping to get some payback. But he failed to locate his target. Rooney didn't appear in this video, and the November 9, 2015 episode of WWE RAW remains a one-off.
