RAW XXX is just hours away now. The longest-running weekly episodic show has given a lot of memorable moments for the fans. The fact that the ride is continuing for decades speaks volumes about the product. There are many great instances to tell how great the show is. However, the WWE has shortlisted some of the best moments the red brand has ever seen. While the inclusion of some is welcomed by fans, they are surprised by the exclusion of many. A subjective list often sparks a debate, as is the case here. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and it would seem there isn’t a shortage of those. Dwayne Johnson and John Cena are definitely some of the greatest names to have ever come out from wrestling. Their non-inclusion in the top 2 instances of Raw is an astonishing feat in itself. The quintessential superstars have been overshadowed by the workhorse Mick Foley, who has topped the illustrious list.

A surprise winner leaves both Dwayne Johnson and Cena behind

After chasing the elusive gold for years, Mankind, aka Mick Foley, finally defeated The Rock to capture the WWE title. This moment has been ranked as the best to ever take place on the show. The People’s Champ and The Cenation Leader have had quite a successful career during their days with the company. It would be surprising for many as both Hollywood stars failed to make it to the top 2.

Both Johnson and Cena are era-defining superstars who had glorious times in the business. Their overall impact cannot be calculated by any numbers. The sheer volume of the fandom the wrestler-turned-actors enjoy is out of bounds for many.

Dwayne Johnson and John Cena might have missed out on the top spot, but there is no denying their absolute popularity. Both the legends were bested by another wrestling great whose sacrifice for the promotion is finally getting recognition. Even after freaking out McMahon at their first meeting. The actors are quite humble in their approach and would certainly acknowledge Mick Foley’s contribution to wrestling.

What do you think about the non-inclusion of Dwayne Johnson and John Cena in the top 2?
