No need to wait until Raw 25 airs on Monday night to see an awesome montage of the entire history of the flagship show in under four minutes.

Whatever your feelings about the WWE’s product now or in the past, there’s one thing you can’t argue: no one puts better video packages together. Thus, it should come as no surprise that they’ve got a doozy for wrestling fans to kick off Raw 25 (and no doubt more during the show as well).

The official opening to Raw 25 was released on the WWE Twitter feed Sunday, and it is as incredible as you’d expect. In more or less chronological order in the beginning, but mixing up eras freely as it goes, the 3:37 video walks you through the entire history of Raw while you rock out to “Light ‘Em Up” by Fall Out Boy.

Along with many peeks at memorable matches, finishes and segments, there are emotional moments as well, including retirement announcements. It’s a roller coaster of feels for anyone who’s been a fan for more than a decade or so.

Don’t just take our word for it, though. Check out the official opening right here if you haven’t seen it already:

Raw 25 takes place from the Manhattan Center and Barclays Center tonight in New York City, with segments from both locations airing on the broadcast. On top of an incredible list of WWE legends who will be in attendance, the show will feature an Intercontinental Championship match between Roman Reigns and The Miz and much more.
