When Brock Lesnar returned for the first time in 8 years to the WWE, he not only got the biggest pop of the year, he got the MMA baggage along.
His UFC credentials were well mentioned and spoken about by the announcers and till date are listed as his achievements whenever he’s around. Heck, he still wears his MMA gear.
When Lesnar made his retun in 2012, he was not just the 3 time WWE Champion, he was also the UFC Heavyweight Champion. Another brand’s name was mentioned. The Beast had returned.
1.Speaking of UFC...
Name just one of the biggest draws of the company ever.
Ronda Rousey!
She’d made an appearance before in the crowd at Summerslam 2014 and helped Stephanie with her Ice Bucket Challenge. But at Wrestlemania, she was their to make a moment work and it worked amazingly well. She accompanied Rock to the ring after he’d been slapped away by Stephanie. The Authority team of McMahon and her husband Triple H were vary of her badassery and yet angry at her guts to step into the ring.
Rousey made it clear that any ring she steps into is her ring. And went on to judo throw Triple H and gave Stephanie a slice of pain through her grappling arm technique.
