Apart from the main segments aired on WWE Raw featuring the WWE legends, there were plenty of other moments that witnessed multiple big names returning on the flagship show on this auspicious occasion. The general manager, Kurt Angle was focusing on how the night was going to be a celebration when Jonathon Coachman joined him in the backstage area.
He was soon joined by the likes of Harvey Whippleman, Brotherly Love and Brooklyn Brawler. Teddy Long also appeared doing his antics in big reception from the crowd. Lastly, Boogeyman appeared on the scene doing his nasty things. He takes out some worms from his mouth to put it in the Coach’s hands before leaving.
As stated earlier in the kick-off show, The APA opened their office back for one-night-only to celebrate WWE Raw 25th anniversary. The team of Ron Simmons and JBL were joined by multiple other legendary names at the backstage area. But, it was the cunning Million-Dollar man, Ted Dibiase who stole all the money.
At a point, several WWE superstars were seen joining the table with the likes of MVP, Jeff Hardy, Heath Slater & Rhyno, Titus Worldwide and more. All were accusing Slater of cheating when Dibiase came up with a flash. In a moment of time, it was spotted that the Million Dollar man ran away with all the bucks present on the table.

Elias was walking at the backstage area when he got bumped to none other than Chris Jericho. Elias wanted to give him his guitar but was denied by the veteran. He honoured Elias with the crown of ‘stupid, idiot’. Finally, Y2J took out his infamous list to put him on the List of Jericho to the delight of the crowd.
