  • CM Punk, who left WWE on bad terms in 2014, vowed never to return to WWE.

    While fans still chant his name in WWE, he tried a short stint in UFC, which didn't work out.

    However, what is even interesting is that he started writing for Marvel Comics.

    He even wrote the comic series for Avenger's Vs. X-Men and Drax.

  • Undertaker

  • It is common for WWE superstars to change their ring name often.

    However, The Undertaker went through a change for a record eight times.

    He made his debut as The Master of Pain, followed by Texas Red, The Punisher, Punisher Dice Morgan, Commando and Mean Mark Callous.

    His seventh name was unique, Kane The Undertaker, before Kane arrived in WWE. Weird!

  • After Andre, The Giant lost to Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 3, the former challenged for a rematch at The Main Event, a year later.

    While Andre managed to pin Hogan, it was not a clean one as Ted DiBiase had conspired and hired referee Dave Hebner's twin brother.

    The match was viewed by over 33 million people (a record at that time).

  • Bryan rumbles

    Royal Rumble's most unique record held by Daniel Bryan

    However, the strange fact is that Bryan did not win the match.
