One great swerve that fans remember fondly is Mark Henry's retirement in 2013, where the World's Strongest Man gave an impassioned promo about his career.
The sudden twist of Henry attacking Cena, revealing his retirement to be a hoax, was nothing short of artful. But for as good a swerve as this was, there have been plenty of bad ones. Here are five WWE swerves that made absolutely no sense at all and left fans scratching their heads.
#5. The Anonymous RAW General Manager
In the Summer of 2010, Vince McMahon ousted Bret Hart from his role as RAW GM, in one of Vince's various barbs against the Canadian. In his place, came the Anonymous RAW General Manager, who communicated via e-mails, read by Michael Cole.
For weeks, fans speculated who it could be behind the monitor, as the GM dropped clues that they were a former Superstar, often using past catchphrases. But as days turned to months, fans grew tired of the character, which was slowly fizzled out in 2011.
The next year, fans finally found out the Anonymous RAW GM identity, as it was Hornswoggle who had dominated Monday Night Raw for nearly a year.
This pleased no-one, with former WWE writer Kevin Eck saying it was only given as a joke, but the company decided to run with it.
