7. Brock Lesnar "Snaps Triple H's Arm (Again)" In The Kimura
Brock Lesnar's 2012 return to World Wrestling Entertainment to face Triple H at Summerslam featured a fantastic build with a payoff that actually occurred two years later with Brock Lesnar's winning of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Coming back with Paul Heyman and demanding top-notch competition, Triple H answering the call from an in-ring standpoint to many fans seemed bizarre. Hunter wasn't exactly a regular in-ring competitor at that point, so believing that he could have a competitive match that would meet up to the standard demanded by the eventual WWE champion seemed unlikely. However, Triple H did pull out something solid, and if wanting a match to look back at the really get a sense of just how long-term one facet of WWE's booking actually is, Brock's domination of Triple H falls right in line with what he's done to The Undertaker and John Cena, too. Insofar as setting a standard, Brock Lesnar always has a way of delivering the goods.
