Brock Lesnar makes a shocking return to the WWE attacking John Cena (April 2, 2012)I was surprised to see some of these moments not rated in the top 10 such as This Is Your Life; which was the most-watched segment in WWE history. I was also surprised the famous bedpan shot by Austin to McMahon wasn't ranked higher, as well as the DX invasion of WCW. They were all moments that helped define the Attitude Era.It was pretty cool to see some of the newer moments rank in the top 25, including the amazing Festival Of Friendship that ended one of the greatest partnerships of the past few years between Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. Another newer return was the shocking return of Shane McMahon to the WWE. Not many of us saw that coming at all.Next up is the #10 Raw moment as voted on by the WWE Universe.
