Strowman didn't bother though, and left for the back.
#6 Big Show in tears
The May 14, 2012 episode of Raw didn't fare well for The Big Show. The Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis turned the giant into a crying mess, ordering him to beg him if he wanted to keep the job. Big Show got on his knees and did the same, promising him that he won't make fun of his voice ever again.
Laurinaitis got the apology, but still decided to fire The Big Show, who couldn't cope with the announcement and continued to cry in the ring. This wasn't the only occasions when Big Show was turned into a meme. Here's a list of some of the most famous memes featuring The Big Show.

#4 Batista's "give me what I want"!
On the road to WrestleMania 35, Batista came back and challenged Triple H to a match at The Show of Shows. The Animal seemed incredibly desperate to put The Game down at the event one more time, and didn't hide his emotions one bit. Batista screamed at Triple H at the top of his voice, demanding a match. All that remained now was for the fans to take care of it and turn this comedic visual into a viral meme.
Batista spitting on the mic throughout his intense promo on Triple H was what turned it into an amusing visual. Unfortunately, The Animal lost his 'Mania match against at MetLife Stadium.
#3 John Cena's hysterical laugh
John Cena has become somewhat of a cultural icon for this generation, and has given birth to a string of hilarious memes in the process. Out of all the memes made on Cena, the one mimicking Tom Cruise's laugh has to be the most recognizable.

Years after Cena gained internet recognition, someone decided to make a parody of the Tom Cruise meme, and the Cena laughing meme was born.

Lesnar didn't stop there, and continued his dance after hitting the ring, as Seth Rollins struggled to keep his composure.
#1 RKO outta nowhere
And here comes the best of 'em all! Randy Orton's RKO is widely recognized by fans as one of the most good looking finishers of all time. The way The Viper, as well as his opponent, fly in the air for a split second during the execution, certainly makes for a cool visual.
Back in 2014, a Youtuber named Wrestling LAD uploaded a parody of footballer Arturo Vidal, with Orton sneaking in and hitting an RKO on him. The meme took off and in a matter of weeks, Youtube was filled with vines showing Orton sneaking behind random people and RKOing them
