The screen displays historic WWE clips (pertaining to things such as ''WrestleMania'' and Hulk Hogan). Eventually, there is 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. | ||
