The Great One’s last appearance in WWE was on October 4, 2019. It was the 20th Anniversary episode of WWE SmackDown and also the first episode of the Blue brand on FOX. Then-WWE Raw Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch kicked off the show. Minutes later, the WWE Universe saw Baron Corbin interrupt her.
The segment soon turned electrifying when The Most Electrifying Man in All Sports Entertainment made an entrance to the ring. He then joined forces with Lynch to heap insults on Corbin. After a while of slamming insults in Corbin’s face, The Man and DJ flattened him with a leg drop followed by The People’s Elbow and a Rock Bottom.
