#1 Brock Lesnar (storyline tantrum)

Brock Lesnar bags another spot in this list, with this one being a tantrum that came out of the script. Also, as you might have expected, Lesnar's tantrum involved not only throwing things around but actual people as well. On the November 4, 2019, edition of WWE RAW, Brock Lesnar began causing havoc everywhere he went, as he continued his hunt for Rey Mysterio.

Lesnar went to a backstage area and kept asking everyone if they had seen the former WWE Champion, Rey Mysterio. The Beast threw around a guy who failed to answer his question and a table shared the same fate soon after.

Lesnar then destroyed a limousine's door and almost attacked the guy sitting inside. He kept yelling Rey's name as the cameras stopped filming. Lesnar was out of control on the night and he didn't spare WWE RAW announcer Dio Maddin either. When Maddin stopped Lesnar from attacking Jerry Lawler, Lesnar gave him an F5 on the table. He was soon put down by Mysterio, who came out of nowhere and attacked him with a bat.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
