15 Best WWE Moments Of The Decade (So Far)

5. Brock Is Back - Raw April 2nd 2012

Add Brock Lesnar to the list of wrestlers who left the WWE on bad terms. Lesnar was WWE's golden boy who was paid $250,000 per year just to train to be a professional wrestler and then pushed to the moon from his debut in April 2002. By March 2004, however, Lesnar wanted out. He had grown weary of the travel and injuries and didn't take too kindly to dropping the World Title to Eddie Guerrero. Brock decided to hand his notice in to the company just days before WrestleMania XX in the hopes of making it in the NFL. He didn't, but he did continue wrestling in Japan and transitioned to MMA. He did pretty well at that, too. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion returned to WWE on the post-WrestleMania XXVIII Raw and attacked John Cena. There had been speculation that Lesnar may have signed a deal but WWE were being tight-lipped regarding the situation. When The Next Big Thing's music hit it produced one of the loudest crowd reactions in WWE history. Many fans had thought that they'd never see Lesnar in a WWE ring again. To see him not only there but F5ing the company's top star was a breathtaking moment. On his day, Brock is one of the very best in the world (even if he does only wrestle a handful of matches per year). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCzBf-jo84o
