Brock Lesnar made a roaring return to WWE in 2012. After spending his time dominating in UFC, ‘The Beast’ was back to where it all began for him. During his first run with the sports entertainment titan, he rose to prominence, unlike any other rookie before him. He would beat the experienced, The Rock, to win the WWE Championship in his first few months with the company. This made him the youngest WWE Champion at that point.
But the tables had turned when the former UFC Champion made a comeback to pro wrestling in 2012. He was now a seasoned veteran in a locker room full of young and hungry talent.

Brock Lesnar’s return was a huge coup for WWE since he had come from UFC, where he held the Heavyweight title. On his WWE return, he immediately entered into a feud with the company’s top babyface John Cena.

It seems Lesnar was backing himself to flourish in WWE despite being away for years. He certainly had a point to prove upon his return and was not going to let anyone take his spot that easily.
The ‘Mayor of the Suplex City’ has enjoyed a memorable second stint with WWE. He headlined multiple WrestleMania events and won the WWE Universal Championship on three occasions. His biggest achievement, though, came when he ended The Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak in 2014.
