Memes are practically a language online and
WWE has given us some pretty good ones over the years.
If you need confirmation,
just check out our Giphy channel full of funny reactions and more.
But what are the stories behind some of these WWE inspired memes?
We did some digging for the origins of five of the most popular WWE memes.
All eyes run John Siena at money in the bank 2012 as he competed
against 4 former world champions in his first Money in the Bank ladder match.
Devout ultimately came down to John Siena and
Big Show who met at the top of the ladder.
The world's largest athlete attempted to KO Cena with a punch but Cena blocked
the punch and responded by repeatedly bashing Big Show with a briefcase.
After the third blast the briefcase snapped loose,
meaning Cena technically won the match.
Mr. Money in the Bank was so
shocked he couldn't control his excitement, giving us this famous shock.
The Rock broke into WWE as Rocky Maivia and the WWE universe
was certainly not on board with the super happy third generation superstar.
This drove the blue chip to forget the fans and join the despised nation of
domination, which was led by WWE Hall of Fame Ron Simmons then called Faarooq.
As the rock stars started to shine brighter he became resentful of
taking orders from Faarooq.
And as the nation prepared to take on the tough squad of Ken Shamrock,
Ahmed Johnson, and DOA at WWE No Way Out 1998,
Doc asked the leader about the recent dissension in the ranks.
The Rock grabbed the microphone, sparking a tirade from Faarooq, and
the greatest eye roll in WWE history by the reigning Intercontinental Champion.
Edge was known as the ultimate opportunist, and
he proved it at WWE no way out 2009.
It wasn't scheduled to participate in
the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match, but Edge
ambush Kofi Kingston during essentially Trance and locked himself and Kofi pot.
Edge was the fifth superstar to enter the fray with reigning world champion
John Cena as the six senior was on fire to start.
But was quickly hit with a codebreaker, 619 and a spear to be eliminated.
Everyone was in shock until Ed realized a new champion would be crowned.
Bringing a grin over the space and edge was ultimately right
because the rated R superstar was holding the world title after the battle.
After Seth Rollins betrayed his shield brothers in 2014, Dean Ambrose was on
a mission for more than a year to destroy the reigning WWE Champion for
a minute at WWE LM Elimination chamber 2015.
It seemed like he did.
Ambrose inadvertently knocked over the referee then countered a Phoenix flash
with Dirty Deeds, a new ref went into the ring and made the three count,
ending round in shocking fashion, except the celebration was premature.
The original official regained consciousness and revealed that
Rollins pushed him into Ambrose and called for Rollins to be disqualified.
Once Rollins realized the champion's advantage meant he couldn't lose the title
by disqualification he broke down with this obnoxious, infamous scream.

Mr. McMann was on cloud nine after Survivor Series 2001.
Team WWE fended off The Alliance, saving Wit McMahon's company and
McMahon was in sole control of WWE now.
That's because his children sold their company shares to a consortium
months before.
So the chairman came to raw and Charlotte, North Carolina to celebrate his
total authority and praise Kurt Angle, the man who helped WWE to victory.
For the first order of business, McMahon waned to crown Angle the new WWE Champion,
the title that rightfully belongs to the alliance's Stone Cold Steve Austin.
But then Ric Flair styled a profile to the ring,
to urge Angle not to accept the title without earning it.
When the chairman rudely tried to usher the Nature boy out of the ring,
Flair revealed that he was the consortium.
All along, meaning he and Mr.
McMahon were partners, resulting in this panic smile from the chairman.
That's our list.
