10 Biggest WWE Return Pops Ever

Everyone knows that the post-WrestleMania Raw crowd is the rowdiest of the WWE calendar, owing in large part to the smattering of overseas fans who stay behind - some still inebriated - from the previous night.

So Brock Lesnar, who had been absent from WWE for eight years - during which time his stature had only grown thanks to a run in the UFC - picked a pretty good time to make his long-awaited return.

That the Next Big Thing had signed terms with his former employers was something of an open secret - particularly for the die-hard fans in the audience, some of whom began singing his name before he even emerged from behind the curtain.

And that can often detract from the final reaction - but this time it didn't. The crowd jumped from zero to 100 as soon as his music hit, and when he F5'd John Cena the roof was almost blown off the area.
