After over three decades of entertaining the masses, WWE leaves cable television and makes its long-awaited debut on Netflix Monday night, with a massive card of premium live event-worthy match-ups and several returns from the industry's biggest names.

That show is almost guaranteed to give fans moments and matches that will live forever in the annals of the show as its most unforgettable. These moments will join others that have elevated stars, changed history, and helped define WWE's flagship.

What are those moments and how have they set the stage for the January 6 streaming debut?

Find out with this list, ranked according to historical significance, overall quality, and star power involved.

10. The Pipebomb (June 27, 2011)

With just weeks left on his WWE deal, CM Punk sat atop the Raw ramp just moments after costing John Cena a match, and proceeded to express years of frustration in a single promo that would go on to be recognized and referred to as "The Pipebomb."

Punk voiced his displeasure at The Rock headlining WrestleMania, what he believed to be "kiss-asses" in the locker room, lack of marketing and merchandising for him, and took aim at the McMahon family.

He was frustrated, pissed off, and let the world know it in a moment that generated a great deal of buzz and even earned him mainstream media opportunities in its wake.

The moment elevated Punk's star and brought him up to the level of Cena, Rock, and other headliners, with whom he would work in the two years that followed, thanks largely to what he accomplished that night in Las Vegas by simply voicing his frustrations to the wrestling world.

9. John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels (April 23, 2007)

Just weeks after an epic main event at WrestleMania 23, John Cena squared off with his tag team championship partner, Shawn Michaels, in the main event of Raw from London.

A grueling 45-minute battle ensued, with the WWE champion throwing everything he had at the Heartbreak Kid, but failing to keep him down. His endurance tested, Cena proved that he could hang with one of the best professional wrestlers of all time before succumbing to Sweet Chin Music as Michaels secured the hard-fought victory.

One of the best matches in the show's three-decade history, it was an instant classic that ranks among the best work either man has done.

8. Triple H Returns from Injury (January 7, 2002)

Having missed eight months of time due to a quadriceps tear the previous May, Triple H stepped through the curtain in Madison Square Garden on the January 7, 2002 episode of Raw to an ovation as loud as, if not louder, than any in the show's history.

For several minutes, The Game made his way to the ring, posed for the audience, and basked in the moment, all while the crowd's cheers and adulation grew louder.

It was a magical moment for a performer who had spent the better part of three years as a villain but who had built up such equity with the audience that they clearly loved and appreciated him.

An unforgettable return, it set up The Game to go on a magical run that concluded with an Undisputed WWE Championship victory at WrestleMania X-8.

7. Shane McMahon Buys WCW (March 26, 2001)

Amid a family feud that saw the evil Mr. McMahon engage Trish Stratus in a torrid affair while his wife Linda watched from a drugged state in a wheelchair, the CEO and Chairman of the Board made his way to the ring on the March 26, 2001 episode of Raw to announce his purchase of former competitor WCW.

In a historic telecast across the USA and TNT networks, McMahon addressed the WCW and polled his audience on which stars to keep from that promotion. He teased that Ted Turner would walk to the ring at WrestleMania and sign the papers, finalizing the sale, before Shane McMahon suddenly appeared on the Titan Tron, live from Florida and Nitro.

The black sheep of the McMahon family, he intensified his rivalry with his father by revealing that the name on the sale documents did read "McMahon," but not the one Vince expected. Instead, the prodigal son had purchased the company and would wage war with his father.

It was an unforgettable moment, the pinnacle of the colossal failure of the Invasion storyline.

6. Eric Bischoff is Back and Better Than Ever (July 15, 2002)

Hell froze over on July 15, 2002, when Mr. McMahon took to the Raw stage to announce the show's new general manager, Eric Bischoff!

The former president of WCW stepped through the curtain and into the history books in a moment few ever imagined they would witness. McMahon had made a career of welcoming enemies into the company or back into the fold, but most assumed Bischoff would be off limits for all that he did to try and run WWE out of business.

Instead, he stepped onto the stage, hugged McMahon, and assumed the role of Raw's general manager for the next three years. He became one of the brand's faces and one of the great authority figures in the flagship's history.

5. John Cena vs. CM Punk (February 25, 2013)

John Cena and CM Punk had several extraordinary match-ups against each other during their rivalry, including one of the greatest matches in WWE history at Money in the Bank 2011. Their best, though, came on a February night in 2013, with a shot at The Rock's WWE Championship on the line.

In the main event of that night's show, Cena and Punk delivered a classic encounter that built on their previous ones, including callbacks to famous spots and a number of counters and reversals that indicated they knew each other as well as, if not better, than any two rivals in the industry.

Punk broke out a banned piledriver but was unable to finish his opponent. Cena, recognizing he would have to throw something at his opponent that he had never seen before, broke out a hurricanrana that stunned Punk before an Attitude Adjustment put him away.

A brilliant match between two definitive stars of the era, it raised the level of in-ring quality and set the bar nearly impossibly high for anyone to eclipse.

4. Beer Truck (March 22, 1999)

If there was ever a defining moment of the war between the megalomaniacal Mr. McMahon character and the rebellious "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, it occurred on the March 22, 1999, episode when the Texas Rattlesnake interrupted an in-ring promo from the boss, his son Shane, and WWE champion The Rock by driving a beer truck into the arena.

After an exchange of words ahead of that Sunday's WrestleMania XV, Austin produced a hose from inside the truck and proceeded to bathe all three heels in Coors Light.

The absurdity of it, including McMahon pretending to swim in the suds as Austin hosed him down, not only represented their rivalry but also reflected the Attitude Era as a whole. It was absurdist, crash television, the likes of which endeared itself to the record-setting audiences of the time.

The crowd went wild, McMahon perfected the whole ordeal, and WWE was hotter than ever for its WWE Championship clash at the biggest show of the year.

3. Chris Jericho's Raw Debut (August 9, 1999)

In the weeks before the August 9, 1999, episode of Raw, a strange Millennium countdown clock appeared, leaving fans to speculate what would happen when it struck zero.

It did just that in the middle of a promo featuring The Rock, and WWE would never be the same a-gain.

Pyro erupted and the name "JERICHO" appeared on the Titan Tron, generating a deafening pop from fans in Chicago's Rosemont Horizon as the WCW export stepped on stage for the first time.

Vowing to rescue Raw from the doldrums, he called himself the fans' savior and declared that WWE had a Y2J problem.

A verbal smackdown courtesy of The Rock followed, but there was no denying that Jericho had left the greatest impression he possibly could have on the company on his very first night with it.

The culmination of a journey that took him from WCW to WWE as one of the most coveted free agents in the industry, it was the start of Jericho's Hall of Fame-worthy run in the company, one that would ultimately see him make history in 2001 as the first Undisputed WWE champion.

2. "Tyson and Austin!" (January 19, 1998)

On the January 19, 1998 episode, just 24 hours after he made a special appearance in a sky box at the Royal Rumble, Vince McMahon introduced Mike Tyson to the WWE fans as the special guest enforcer for the main event of WrestleMania XIV.

He also referred to the former heavyweight boxing champion as the "baddest man on the planet," something "Stone Cold" Steve Austin took exception to. Warning him that he had his eyes locked "on the world's toughest son of a b***h," the Texas Rattlesnake shoved Tyson, igniting a pull-apart brawl that brought the episode of Raw to its end.

The media attention the angle generated was extraordinary. It forced fans to sit up and notice the new attitude injected into WWE's flagship show, making it even more important to McMahon than Stone Cold's first stunner.

Eric Bischoff, then head of WCW, has admitted the introduction of Tyson was the first time in the 83 weeks that Monday Nitro beat Raw that he sat up and took notice of what his competition was doing, and justifiably so.

Within three months, Austin was the biggest star in the industry and his rivalry with McMahon would turn the tide in the Monday Night Wars.

1. Triple H Marries Stephanie McMahon (November 29, 1999)

The November 29, 1999 episode of Raw was to be the night that Test and Stephanie McMahon were married in a grand ceremony to close the show. For the most part, everything went smoothly before Triple H, who had been barred from the service, suddenly appeared with a massive revelation to share with the masses.

Producing a video shot in Las Vegas during the bride's bachelorette party, it showed the Cerebral Assassin taking a drugged McMahon to a drive-thru wedding chapel and marrying her.

It was an unforgettable twist that instantly drew the ire of the fans. In the weeks following, they not only hated The Game more than ever but also turned on the boss' daughter.

"It's not did we, but how many times did we consummate the marriage?" he asked, a classic grin on his face before disappearing through the curtain and leaving Stephanie bawling to her father, Vince, in one of the great cliffhangers in the show's history.

For a show that has prided itself on marrying wrestling rivalries with soap opera-esque storylines, this was peak creative and the moment that firmly established Triple H as the best villain in professional wrestling.
