#5 WWE remembers Jon Huber, A.K.A. Luke Harper on his birthday in December 2021

On December 26, 2020, Jon Huber, better known to the WWE Universe as Luke Harper, sadly passed away.

He passed away just ten days after his 41st birthday in a hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. The cause of death was revealed to have been caused by a rare lung condition, confirmed by his widow, Amanda.

Huber was released by WWE in December 2019, and he joined Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling the following year. Despite not having been a part of the company during the latter days of his career, WWE respectfully honored the former Intercontinental Champion on his birthday this year.

On December 16, WWE posted a happy birthday message to their former Superstar which read:

"On his birthday, we remember the late Jon Huber, known to WWE fans as Luke Harper."

The world of professional wrestling came together to interact with the post and also share their love for Jon Huber. Many also responded by praising WWE for their class act for acknowledging his birthday.

Overall, the tweet received an enormous response, with 52.8k likes in total being received, as of this writing. It showed that many Twitter users loved the fact that WWE shared such a powerful and emotive message.

Meanwhile, AEW also posted a similar message honoring the late Jon Huber on his birthday. The tweet received 23.8k likes overall.

Of course, it isn't a competition as to how many likes a promotion got, but it shows the sheer impact that the man himself had on the world of professional wrestling. He will never be forgotten.

#4 Bad Bunny performs his song "Booker T" at WWE Royal Rumble in January 2021

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny made his first WWE appearance at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view in January 2021.

The most streamed global artist of 2021, for the second consecutive year, teamed up with WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. They performed his hit single, named after the five-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, entitled "Booker T."

Sadly, the performance was done inside the WWE Thunderdome due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions. It meant that Bad Bunny played in-front of no fans, but the performance was praised by many around the world.

Overall, the video posted on Twitter received over 1 million views and 58.4k likes, no doubt attracting many of his fans to witness the performance.

The night also sparked a longer-term plan for Bad Bunny which would ultimately see him perform in the ring at WrestleMania a few months later. WWE certainly wanted to make the most of securing the services of one of the biggest artists around.

#3 John Cena returns at WWE Money in the Bank in July 2021

One of WWE's biggest moments of 2021 came when John Cena made his return at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

It was WWE's first pay-per-view, at full capacity, since March 2020. The company went all out to make sure it was memorable. The show was headlined by Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against Edge.

After a 33 minute war, The Head of the Table prevailed and defeated The Rated R Superstar via pinfall. After the match, Reigns grabbed a microphone and stated that the world needed to acknowledge him. He was soon stunned when John Cena's music hit.

John Cena returned for the first time since WrestleMania 36 to a thunderous ovation in Fort Worth, Texas. He entered the ring and had a staredown with the Universal Champion before delivering his famous "You Can't See Me!" taunt.

The video that WWE uploaded to Twitter was well received, with over 6 million views and 59.8k likes. John Cena went onto have a great summer with WWE and performed against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.

#2 Edge wins the Men's WWE Royal Rumble match in January 2021

The Rated R Superstar did it again at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view in January 2021.

He went on to win the Men's Royal Rumble match for the second time in his career. The night also marked the one-year anniversary of his return, after he retired from the ring due to injury in 2011.

WWE Hall of Famer Edge outlasted 29 other superstars, entering the Rumble match at number one. He recorded 58:38 minutes in the match before eliminating arch nemesis and former friend Randy Orton to win.

Following his Royal Rumble victory, Edge spoke exclusively to WWE:

"If you had told me four years ago that I’d be in the Royal Rumble, enter the match first, win it, and go onto WrestleMania…. I feel like I still need to pinch myself and feel like I’m going to wake up." (h/t Wrestling Inc.)

An image of Edge winning the match was immediately posted to WWE's Twitter account. It received 62.8k likes and is the company's second most liked Twitter post of 2021.

#1 Bad Bunny performs in a WWE ring at WrestleMania 36 in April 2021

As mentioned in a previous slide, Bad Bunny entered the world of WWE in January 2021. He performed his hit single "Booker T" at the Royal Rumble, but little did anyone think he would compete in a match.

The rapping sensation trained at the WWE Performance Center in preparation for a huge match at WrestleMania. He was immediately placed in a feud with The Miz and John Morrison leading up to the event.

At WrestleMania, Bad Bunny teamed up with Damian Priest against Miz & Morrison and stunned the WWE Universe. Bunny performed exceptionally well, and at one point even performed a Canadian Destoryer on the outside of the ring.

WWE Executive Triple H commented on the Puerto Rican star's performance at the Show of Shows:

"He has earned my respect on every level. I am respectful of what he does, but he's won my respect for what we do. It takes a lot to go through what we do, but nobody wants to do it." (h/t ewrestling)

Overall, the GIF of Bad Bunny performing a Canadian Destroyer at WrestleMania is WWE's most liked Twitter post. It received 71.8k likes and showed that the company's faith in securing Bad Bunny's services had paid off.
