10 Times Hell Froze Over In Wrestling

10. Brock Lesnar Returns To UFC

On 9 July 2016, Brock Lesnar made his return to Mixed Martial Arts as part of UFC 200. Under WWE contract, 'The Beast' appeared in the octagon in victory against New Zealand brute Mark Hunt. It wasn't something anyone could see have seen coming before the news was made public.

Despite Vince McMahon's assertions in the past that he's in a different business to the MMA juggernaut, it was still impossible to imagine him allowing a contracted talent to fight for real on someone else's show.

Furthermore, Brock was back in time for a fearsome SummerSlam destruction of Randy Orton, making the deal even more incredible. The fight came only a year removed from Lesnar himself suggesting that he was done with MMA, and fully-focused on things going forward with WWE.

As a competitive athlete, it seems he missed the preparation, hype, and satisfaction only real fighting can provide. This may have been something burning in the background between Lesnar and WWE, but that doesn't change the fact few predicted it.
