#3 Brock Lesnar gets squashed by Goldberg

After months of trading barbs, Goldberg returned to WWE after 12 years for a program with Brock Lesnar.

Even though the pair's previous meeting at WrestleMania 20 was a disaster, fans were heavily invested in seeing Goldberg step into the ring against Lesnar, who had established himself as arguably WWE's biggest star.

The expectation was that the former WCW star would go down in a valiant effort. However, Goldberg demolished The Beast Incarnate after a flurry of spears and a jackhammer, leaving the audience in disbelief. This was Lesnar's first pinfall loss since WrestleMania 29.


#2 The shooting star press gone wrong

Brock Lesnar tore through the WWE roster during his rookie year, defeating some of the biggest names in professional wrestling. He also became the youngest Undisputed Champion in the company's history when he pinned The Rock at SummerSlam 2002.

With WWE fixated on making him their next big star, Lesnar won the following year's Royal Rumble and earned a WWE Championship match against Kurt Angle in the main event of WrestleMania 19.

To cap off his first appearance on the biggest stage, Lesnar took to the top rope and attempted a shooting star press. However, the former University of Minnesota standout botched the maneuver, landing squarely on his head. The fall would've maimed most men, but Brock Lesnar managed to avoid any serious injury.


#1 Brock Lesnar ends The Streak

For many years, The Streak was one of WWE's biggest attractions. Legends such as Shawn Michaels, Triple H and CM Punk attempted to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania but to no avail. So what chance did a part-timer with only one year left on his contract have?

When they initially brought him back in 2012, WWE failed to maximize Lesnar's value. The former UFC heavyweight champion's starpower had been greatly diminished by high-profile losses to John Cena and Triple H. The fans expected Lesnar to be nothing more than yet another of The Undertaker's victims.

However, after a last-minute change of plans, Lesnar stunned the world in one of the biggest upsets in professional wrestling history. The Streak ending stunned the fans into silence, and some of their reactions are the subject of memes to this day.
