WWE: 8 Most Shocking Results In Extreme Rules History

2. John Cena Pins Brock Lesnar Clean In Lesnar's First WWE Match Back, Extreme Rules 2012

Not just one of the most shocking results in Extreme Rules history, this was one of the most shocking results in the entire WWE history. It was an excellent match, full of hard hitting spots and weapons, but the result was completely unexpected. Brock Lesnar had been away from WWE for 8 years, in which time he had took up MMA and became UFC Champion, enjoying success as the biggest box office sensation outside of Floyd Mayweather. So what did WWE with the celebrity tough-guy who had been easily smashing a million buys a pay per view for UFC? They brought him in and instantly had him lose clean to John Cena. Nobody seen it coming, everyone figured there was no way Lesnar could lose, WWE had paid him too much money. In this sense, Lesnar vs Cena ended up being similar to Undertaker vs Lesnar at WrestleMania 30 where people had figured there was no way Undertaker could lose. When the unexpected result happened, it got people talking in a massive way - here we are two years after Extreme Rules 2012 and we still find it shocking. Perhaps it's good for WWE to throw these curve balls from time to time, but in the case of Lesnar's 2012 comeback, he really should have been the victor. One Cena 'Attitude Adjustment' on the steel steps and Lesnar was a loser, severely damaged in his stature as a tough guy.
