7 Times Brock Lesnar went off script in the WWE

#4 Lesnar busts Cena open

Brock Lesnar returned to the WWE in 2012 to much fanfare and targeted Cena on his first night back with the company that put him on the map.

His return was facilitated in order to bring back the ‘legitimacy’ to WWE and he did exactly what was asked of him during an epic brawl with WWE’s Franchise Player on the episode of Raw on April 9th, 2012. It was one of the WWE’s favorite offerings wherein the entire locker room came out to diffuse the volatility of the ruckus caused by two rivals but to no avail.

Lesnar drew first blood as he took Cena down and unleashed some vicious ground and pound. This was planned. What followed was not. Lesnar accidentally busted open the 16-time WWE champion with a proper punch that wasn’t supposed to land the way it did. Cena began bleeding from the mouth and thankfully, it all meshed well with their Extreme Rules feud.

Vince McMahon isn’t a big fan of blood, but he may have given this instance a pass as it only strengthened the storyline.
