10 current WWE Superstars and what happened on their WWE debut (Part 2)

#7 Brock Lesnar (2002)

Brock Lesnar made an instant impact in 2002

Brock Lesnar was introduced to WWE fans for the first in March 2002 when he interrupted a Hardcore Championship match on Raw and dismantled the two participants, Maven and Al Snow, before memorably hitting three powerbombs on Spike Dudley.

His first televised WWE match, however, didn’t come until a month later at the Backlash pay-per-view, where he was ruled the winner against Jeff Hardy after the referee decided that Jeff had taken too much punishment and he could no longer compete.

Lesnar’s original opponent was supposed to be Matt Hardy but, in typical “Beast Incarnate” style, he injured Matt (in storyline) a week before the scheduled match and Jeff had to step in.
