''' | '''Visuals:''' Against a space background with stars that fly toward us throughout, two halves of the then-current WWF logo come from the top and the bottom of the screen with {{color|orange}} "shadow" effects, cross each other's path, then merge to form an outline of the logo (which is a stylized "W" that is "divided" to look like two "W"s, and also has two protrusions at the upper right for an "F"). Rainbow-colored lasers cross the logo filling it with a {{color|gold}} color that turns {{color|silver}} after they're gone. Beneath, the words "WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" fly inwards one by one from the bottom of the screen, in white font and with the shadow effect. The logo "shines". | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' A silver-gray, three-dimensional WWF logo with no details flies across a landscape of rivers and mountains. It rises up, and the background is now an {{color|orange}} and {{color|darkviolet|purple}} sky. Lightning strikes the logo, adding the {{color|silver}} details, first to the first "W", then the second, and finally the "F". "WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" fades in below. | ||
'''Variant:''' Starting in 1989, the logo became <u>static, lasting only for two seconds</u>. No music plays here. | '''Variant:''' Starting in 1989, the logo became <u>static, lasting only for two seconds</u>. No music plays here. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a twilight background with a horizon, the WWF logo, in a transparent {{color|blue}} 3D form, rises and turns to a 45-degree angle and comes closer to the camera as a glowing speck flies around the logo. "WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" in a 45-degree angle zooms out in the Futura font. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a stone or ice floor against a cloudy black sky, a large monolith rises up. The monolith has the WWF logo carved out of it and "THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" written below on all sides. The camera pans around and stops facing up at one of the logos, with the sun in the top left shining. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' Against a cloudy {{color|red}} sky with lightning, several copies of "{{color|red|THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION}}" circle around to the top of the screen and disappear, followed by a {{color|red}] and {{color|gold}} WWF logo from 1996-1998 (the WWF logo from before, only tilted and against a square, not unlike the logo used for the ''WWF In Your House'' series of pay-per-views) turning to face us, slightly facing the left. The text "THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION", curved at first, then straightening out, rises up from the bottom. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We see some random images and names of countries flying around and flashing. This is followed by languages and several "5,000,000"s flying around and flashing as well along with more random images. Eventually, we see a globe background, with some {{color|blue}} hexagons, and another globe at the bottom left of the screen. The WWF logo from the previous logo, this time tilted towards the right with the square and outline of "WWF" colored {{color|blue}}, drops down from the top. "THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION" (with "THE" displayed over "WORLD") is shown below, along with the URL www.wwf.com. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We see a looped video of a neon Earth with a outlined sun, the bottom of a ring close-up, another Earth zooming in, crowds cheering and explosions which speeds up faster as time goes on. "#1 Worldwide Leader", "World", "Wrestling", "Federation", and other stuff like that are also seen (the words "World Wrestling Federation" are never seen at the same time). The animation abruptly ends with "{{color|silver|ATTITUDE}}" appearing for a fraction of a second, followed by a quick light pan of the WWF logo (much like the original, but it seems like a 5-year old's scribble of the logo with a {{color|red}} line underneath). The WWF logo is stylized to have a harder edge, like their product, and is modeled after the Nike "swoosh". | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We see a globe, with pictures of wrestling clips, and the brand logos of ''Raw'', ''SmackDown!'', ''Sunday Night Heat'', ''Velocity'', ''Afterburn'', ''Experience'', and ''Bottom Line''. These images are interspersed among crowd scenes like the last logo. Towards the end, "ATTITUDE" and "ENTERTAINMENT" appear for fleeting moments. Then, we see a quick light pan of the WWE logo (exactly like the 1998 WWF logo, but missing the "F", and with the {{color|red|| line closer up). The WWE logo essentially just has a W divided to look like two Ws, and with a {{color|red}} "swoosh" below it. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We see a black-and-white clip of an old wrestling match from the early 20th century. We zoom out to reveala TV screen in a large tunnel. The screen displays historic WWE clips (pertaining to things such as ''WrestleMania'' and Hulk Hogan). Eventually, we see a shot of a crowd, and the screen zooms in before a light flashes and engulfs the screen. When the light disappears, we see the WWE logo at the bottom left on a black background, shining. "WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT" appears next to the logo, glowing {{color|red}} for a brief moment. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The wrestling match shown at the beginning may be the match between Ernest Roeber and August Faust that was filmed by the Edison Manufacturing Company in 1901. | '''Trivia:''' The wrestling match shown at the beginning may be the match between Ernest Roeber and August Faust that was filmed by the Edison Manufacturing Company in 1901. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We start out with an overhead shot of the SunLife Stadium with fireworks. This cuts to still shots of various wrestlers and other people in WWE's history. As the shots get faster, the WWE logo zooms out halfway until the background flashes various arenas. The end result is the WWE logo to the left on a white background. "{{color|gray|THEN}}" appears followed by "{{color|gray|NOW}}" and "{{color|gray|FOREVER}}" from the right center downwards respectively. | ||
'''Closing Variant:''' Against a black background, thin {{color|gray}} lines form the glowing word "ENTERTAINMENT" as the screen eases back. When they finish, the text glitters and there is a bluish-white flash revealing the then-current WWE logo. The word "ENTERTAINMENT" flashes out and ghostly remains appear behind the WWE logo which slowly zooms in until we fade to black. | '''Closing Variant:''' Against a black background, thin {{color|gray}} lines form the glowing word "ENTERTAINMENT" as the screen eases back.

''' | '''Visuals:''' Starting off on a black background, slightly curved footage of Hulk Hogan slamming André the Giant from ''WrestleMania III'' rises up from the bottom of the screen. The screen begins to zoom out as various scenes from WWE's past begin to play and the word "THEN" appears above the scenes. The camera quickly turns to the right and goes down a hallway consisting of scenes from the past before rotating to the left once more. The screens are showing modern WWE footage as "NOW" rises up facing the right on the left center of the screen. The camera then quickly pans down another hallway showing more scenes. The camera stops than begins to zoom out to reveal that the hallways are in the shape of the current WWE logo. As it finishes rotating back, the "W"s turn white while the "slash" turns {{color|red}}. The word "FOREVER" rises from below as the WWE logo flashes. "FOREVER" flashes as the background turns {{color|darkblue|dark blue}}. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' It starts in the same way as the previous opening, but with updated and additional images and footage from WWE's past, on the other hallway showing more scenes, "TOGETHER" rises up from the same position with additional modern footages showing the crowd and fireworks displays (whether indoor and outdoors, from WrestleMania), and when the WWE logo rotates from its same position, a light flashes with "FOREVER" following on it. | ||
'''Variant:''' An <u>alternate variant</u> is also used on some episodes of shows: "FOREVER" rises up in the same position from the 3rd hallway with clips from the wrestlers interacting with the fans, with "TOGETHER" on the bottom of the WWE logo. | '''Variant:''' An <u>alternate variant</u> is also used on some episodes of shows: "FOREVER" rises up in the same position from the 3rd hallway with clips from the wrestlers interacting with the fans, with "TOGETHER" on the bottom of the WWE logo. |
