A WWE staple for more than five years now, it's hard to imagine Monday Night Raw without sporadic appearances from Brock Lesnar, who is currently slap bang in the middle of yet another mammoth world title reign.

But it's easy to take the Beast Incarnate for granted. Between 2004 and 2012, he was conspicuous by his continued absence from Vince McMahon's empire, determined instead to make a name for himself on the football field and, latterly, in the UFC Octagon.

Wrestling fans were desperate to see him back in the squared circle though, one of the main reasons for which being a potential showdown with John Cena, whom he met briefly in 2003, but not since he became Big Match John.

WWE, for once, seemed to read its Universe's mind when it finally convinced Lesnar to return in April 2012. Not only did he interrupt a John Cena promo - to perhaps the loudest pop in Raw history - he swiftly followed it up with the most eagerly-anticipated F-5 of all-time. It was, quite simply, perfect.
