When Brock Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012, he had a lot of work to do. Lesnar's last appearance with the company had been a disastrous WrestleMania XX match that saw him and his opponent get booed out of Madison Square Garden.

After eight years away, Lesnar rebuilt his legacy through a series of great matches and moments. Then, in 2016, it was time for his WrestleMania XX opponent to try and do the same.

Goldberg's first WWE match in over 12 years was more than a little concerning for many fans. A rematch with Brock Lesnar? After the absolutely diabolical encountered they'd had at 'Mania? Surely this was a bad idea.

Spoiler - it wasn't.

Goldberg squashed Brock in under 90 seconds to the awe of the entire wrestling community. The sudden victory made Bill look like an absolute beast and helped recapture some of the magic that had made him a star in WCW.

It could be argued that, were it not for this win, we wouldn't have gotten the defeats of Kevin Owens or The Fiend later down the line, but, in the moment, the Goldberg of old was back and fans were loving it.
