Top 5 Unscripted WWE Incidents That Made Us Cry - Part 1
5 KURT ANGLE EMBRACES VINCE AFTER HORRIBLE FALLING OUT: The return of Kurt Angle to WWE in 2017 was one of the biggest wrestling stories of the year. Angle left WWE back in 2016 in horrible fashion.
WWE and Angle had a bitter falling out regarding his addiction to pain killers. Angle trashed Vince McMahon, Triple H and the entire company in various shoot interviews right after leaving the company that was his wrestling home.
As time went on, Angle regretted these comments and wanted a chance to make it right by finishing his career in WWE. This finally happened last year when Angle returned to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
A WWE 24 special about his return showed the moment Vince hugged him for the first time before telling the cameras to leave the room so they could have privacy. Angle finally getting that moment of closure was emotional for any fan that followed his journey.
4 SETH ROLLINS TEARS UP AFTER WM 33 MATCH WITH TRIPLE H: Seth Rollins missed WrestleMania 32 with a knee injury that made things very depressing for him. WWE footage caught up looking on in pain from a pressbox watching the event as a fan. Rollins’ health was up in the air regarding a match with Triple H at WrestleMania 33.
WWE cleared him, and he was able to have the match with his legendary mentor one year after a low point in his WWE career. The cameras from WWE 24 filmed Rollins moments after one of the biggest wins one can have defeating Triple H. Rollins was overwhelmed from emotions and had tears in his eyes.
His commentary suggested he was happy to just be performing on the big stage again after realizing how painful it is to miss such a major night. Rollins tearing up made fans feel similar emotions for his moment of redemption.
3 KEVIN OWENS THANKS TRIPLE H IN CHARACTER AND IN REAL LIFE: The Kevin Owens Show DVD looked at his journey from the independent circuit to NXT to WWE.
It all culminated with the biggest moment of his career when he won the Universal Championship. Owens pinned Seth Rollins with the help of Triple H in a shocking moment to give him his first WWE world title.
There’s a moment in the ring where Triple H and Owens hug while Owens thanks Triple H. Owens explained more in the DVD special that he was thanking Triple H outside of the script for all he did for his career. Triple H was the one to take a risk on him with the NXT contract.
Owens repaid him by instantly becoming a major star for the brand leading to a fast call-up. The embrace between Owens and Triple H was a heartwarming moment outside of any WWE storyline.
2 SASHA BANKS BREAKS DOWN TALKING ABOUT MAKING HISTORY IN ABU DHABI: An interview for the WWE YouTube channel saw Sasha Banks get to share real emotions about a historic moment rather than having to be in character.
Banks faced Alexa Bliss on a live event for the first ever women’s match in Abu Dhabi. WWE was forced to keep the women home on prior live events there, but Banks and Bliss had the first match in 2017. Banks broke down after the match and teared up discussing her pride of making history. Fans chanted “this is hope” and were excited to see the ladies from WWE tear it up.
Sasha’s genuine emotions provided great emotion and WWE had to reference it on their television shows. Banks stated that it was her greatest moment on the main roster and reminded her what her job was all about.
1 HULK HOGAN AND ULTIMATE WARRIOR MAKE PEACE BACKSTAGE: The Ultimate Warrior returned to WWE in 2014 to join the Hall of Fame. His weekend back with WWE saw him make peace with many of his former enemies.
Shockingly, Warrior passed away just days later in unbelievable timing. Vince McMahon and Triple H made peace with Warrior, but those were given since they were allowing him to speak with a live microphone on one of their biggest events. Hulk Hogan making peace with Warrior was a more surprising and emotional moment. The two trashed each other in the media for years.
Hogan and Warrior met in person backstage at WrestleMania *** in their first meeting since all the drama ensued. They made peace and embraced in a moment captured on film by the WWE 24 cameras. We likely would have never believed Hogan, but the documenting of it provided a true emotional moment.
