#3 His 2012 return

The audience live in attendance absolutely loved this image

The night after WrestleMania has long been considered one of the best nights of the year, in part due to the excitement and unpredictability of the crowd in attendance. The RAW after WrestleMania XXVIII was no exception, as they roared in approval at the (not so surprise) return of Brock Lesnar.

As John Cena was cutting a promo on the Rock (who had defeated him the night before), Cena was interrupted by that intimidating guitar riff that signaled the arrival of Brock Lesnar. Although some people had already started chanting Lesnar’s name before Cena was done speaking, they still gave one of the loudest pops in WWE history when Lesnar appeared on the entrance ramp.

Lesnar – who had spent eight years away from WWE pursuing other ventures – entered the ring and F-5’d John Cena, igniting a feud between them. Lesnar’s return was met with overwhelming approval and brought WWE some much-needed attention from fans that had stopped watching after Lesnar had left.
