15 Best WWE Debuts of All Time (Part 1)

#12 Brock Lesnar (2002)

Despite being a special attraction, thanks to his lavish contract, Brock Lesnar is not someone that the fans love to watch wrestle right now.

Not appearing on the programming regularly despite holding the Universal Title has also had a negative impact on his aura and his fan following.

However, back in 2002, he was the Next Big Thing. He was the hottest young superstar on the main roster, and he had a kind of debut that almost every young wrestler now hopes to have, and he made sure it remains in the memories of the fans for years and years to come.

Arriving on the main roster on the night after WrestleMania X8, The Future Beast Incarnate derailed the triple threat encounter between Al Snow, Maven and Spike Dudley, dismantling each one of them, especially Spike, with powerbombs and spinebusters and F5s.

Before we knew, Lesnar was the King of the Ring three months later, the WWE Champion 5 months later and was main eventing WrestleMania 12 months later.

God, the Ruthless Aggression Era's Lesnar was phenomenal. Now, he is just a plodding potato.
