The return of Goldberg was one of the most memorable storylines of the year. He made his return to the promotion after a gap of more than a decade and the expectations were low. Goldberg was not known for his wrestling skills to start with and secondly, age and rustiness were considered factors as well.

When WWE booked him against Brock Lesnar, everyone was curious as to how the match would turn out. The expectations were low, once again, but Goldberg dominated completely.

He stopped Lesnar’s dominating run in a matter of minutes and even if someone did expect a lot from Goldberg’s return, no one would’ve seen him get such a dominant win over Lesnar.

Who else exceeded expectations this year? Comment below.
