#3 When Matt Hardy inadvertently hit him on the head with a steel chair
Vince McMahon was so high on Brock Lesnar when he debuted in 2002. The Beast Incarnate broke his way into the main event picture and became the youngest WWE Champion in the company’s history at 25.
Another person who was also set to receive a big push was Matt Hardy. The two superstars crossed paths on an episode of Raw and during which the elder Hardy brother accidentally hit Lesnar on the head with a steel chair.

Matt Hardy had the following to say on what happened backstage after the match on an edition of Pro Wrestling Shoots.
“I gotta go twelve minutes with Brock Lesnar, and I know he wants to kill me. I just remember him coming back like a gorilla. He’s like ‘What the f***?’ ‘Why the f*** did you hit me in the head?’”’
But Matt asserted that even after the incident, Brock was very safe with him during the match despite being angry, lauding the Beast for his professional behaviour.
