Performers are touted for having their “WrestleMania” moment, but “Monday Night Raw” has provided countless career-defining events that shifted the landscape of professional wrestling.

With WWE celebrating “Raw’s” 25th anniversary on Jan. 22 with shows at Barclays Center and Manhattan Center, The Post is giving its take on “Raw’s” 25 greatest moments.

The list was compiled taking into account the moment’s iconic nature, effect on the landscape of professional wrestling and meaning to development of the characters and “Raw.”

Here is how they stack up:

Honorable Mention: The Nexus debuts, Stone Cold Steve Austin attacks Mr. McMahon in the hospital, John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels WrestleMania 23 rematch, Triple H turns on Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan drives into the ambulance The Rock is in.

25. Brock Lesnar returns to “Raw” after eight years

Lesnar had not been seen in a WWE ring in eight years, since his forgettable WrestleMania XX match against Goldberg. The former UFC heavyweight champions got a huge pop before giving John Cena an F5 to begin his current run.

24. Ric Flair loses to Mr. Perfect and leaves the WWF

The match was the end of Flair’s first stint with the company and happened on the third episode of “Raw,” setting a tone it would be a place for PPV-level matches. Two of the best in-ring technicians ever put on a heck of an effort in the process.

23. Stephanie McMahon-Test Wedding

Little did we know years later Triple H really would marry Stephanie McMahon. During this segment, we had to settle for him crashing her anticipated marriage to Test and Triple H mouthing “I do” for her to a shotgun-wedding officiant in Las Vegas.

22. Bret Hart returns to “Raw” after 12 years

It was the closing of one of the most notorious chapters in the company’s history. Hart finally came back and buried the hatchet with Vince McMahon, and most important, Shawn Michaels, in moments you knew went well beyond any TV show.

21. Kurt Angle brings the milk truck

Sure, there was Angle’s tiny cowboy hat, but this was the perfect parody, with Austin as the foil for the Olympic hero’s lovable baby-face persona. The segment was also the birth of Austin’s “What?” chant, one that is still repeated by the WWE Universe today.

20. Chris Jericho’s debut

The “Countdown to the Millennium” clock was an amazing setup in 1999 with the real next millennium approaching. Jericho coming over marked the first real defection of a WCW guy. His iconic music hit, his name came across the screen and the rest is history.

19. Jeff Hardy earns Undertaker’s respect

Jeff Hardy, Undertaker, a ladder for the Undisputed title. It was as epic as it sounded and then some. Undertaker was victorious in one of the best matches ever on “Raw,” and Hardy “earned his respect” in the process.

18. Vince McMahon revealed as the Higher Power

It was the culmination of a long, bizarre but entertaining storyline featuring Austin, the Ministry and one of Stephanie McMahon’s first appearances in an angle. It ended up being Vince behind it all along.

17. Premiere Episode

Hey, you had to start somewhere. It wasn’t the greatest episode — featuring Shawn Michaels, Undertaker and the Steiner Brothers — and Rob Bartlett was on commentary, but it certainly showed the company was going to provide a new experience.

16. Formation of Evolution

The foursome was one of the best factions in wrestling history. Evolution launched the careers of Bautista and Randy Orton and gave Ric Flair his confidence back. Triple H, who faked needing a crutch, set the tone with a kick-ass promo and drank champagne with Flair in a suite after.

15. Trish Stratus vs. Lita main event

WWE prides itself on its current women’s revolution, but none of that is possible without Lita and Trish becoming the first women to main-event “Raw.” The two delivered a PPV-worthy match and inspired the next generation of superstars.

14. John Cena gets drafted to “Raw”

The 2005 draft was a turning point in the career of Cena, the SmackDown champion at the time. He flip-flopped with “Raw” champion Bautista, and programs with the company’s top talent at the time put him on the path to being the face of WWE.

13. 1-2-3 Kid upsets Razor Ramon

The Kid pinning Razor, one of the company’s biggest stars, in a flash — and running scared through the crowd — set an anything-can-happen tone on “Raw.” It happened in just the 17th episode and launched the career of Sean Waltman.

12. Rock “This is Your Life”

The Rock and Mankind formed one of the most unlikely and entertaining duos in wrestling history. The segment was well-meaning, and the misguided Mankind and the sarcastic, hard-to-please Rock at their absolute best.

11. Occupy RAW

It was the living embodiment of the Yes Movement and a defining moment of Daniel Bryan’s career. Viewers probably felt as if they were the fans overflowing the ring and ring-side area. The moment showed how serious WWE was with finally pushing Bryan.

10. Shane buys WCW

One of the more underrated moments in “Raw” history despite its significance. It marked the on-screen end to the Monday Night Wars, gave Shane a chance to stand on his own and left you wondering where the line between reality and storyline was.

9. Brian Pillman has a gun

Austin and crazed Brian Pillman in a house with gun. What could go wrong? Plenty did, including Pillman saying “f–king” on live TV. But the angle — while misguided — proved just how far Raw was willing to go to try to push the envelope.

8. Triple H takes over DX

The segment sent ripple effects through the industry. It showed DX and the company would be just fine in Shawn Michaels’ absence, established Triple H as a main-event player and marked the return of X-Pac from WCW.

7. Breakup of the Shield

Not only was this a jaw-dropping moment, especially with “The Architect” Seth Rollins being the turncoat. It began singles career for three of WWE’s biggest current stars. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose are now both Grand Slam champions.

6. Mike Tyson meets Stone Cold

Tyson had recently bitten off a part of Evander Holyfield’s ear, and the toughest SOB in wrestling wanted a piece of him. It was high drama, high stakes and gave the company greater level of mainstream visibility as the Attitude Era was gaining steam.

5. CM Punk’s Pipe Bomb

Consider it Punk’s raw airing of grievances against the company on live TV — many of which the fans agreed with. It set up Punk potentially leaving the WWE with its title in hand. Considering how angry he was, it was believable he just might do it.

4. D-Generation X invades WCW

The segment — which had DX show up in Norfolk, Va., with a jeep with a cannon in army fatigues — showed WWE had regained its footing and was in full assault on its competition. It was a rare on-air acknowledgement of its competition, and there was always the chance WCW would let DX in.

3. Mankind wins the WWF title

It was the night the ratings in the Monday Night wars shifted back to the WWF for the first time in nearly two years. WCW announcer Tony Schiavone again tried to spoil “Raw’s” results by announcing Mankind was going to finally win the belt on a taped episode. It backfired, and with it went WCW’s ratings supremacy.

2. “Bret screwed Bret”

It was the birth of the Mr. McMahon character and threaded the line between reality and fiction after the Montreal Screwjob. Vince McMahon, with Bret Hart having a chance to be the biggest defection to WCW during the Monday Night wars, turned the tables and allowed the company to capitalize on his controversial exit.

1. Stone Cold brings the beer truck

It truly showed just about anything could happen on “Raw” and epitomized the shocking moments that made the show great. It involved Austin at the height of his popularity leaving his biggest rivals, Mr. McMahon and The Rock, swimming and soaked in beer.
