* As ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2023'' was winding down and the finishing copyright logo was shown, a familiar static sound was heard through the arena which then erupted in a myriad of voices when none other than ''Wrestling/CMPunk'' walked out into the spotlight, [[CueTheFlyingPigs thought never to be coming back to WWE]].

* And yet the above moment was overshadowed just a few minutes later, when after nearly a decade of retirement due to a CareerEndingInjury that many saw as permanent, ''Wrestling/{{Edge}}'' entered, looking like he never left the business and delivering spears left and right like in his prime. Yes, there had been rumors going on for weeks that he would be making a comeback, but even with that knowledge, the Houston crowd ''lost their shit''.

* ''[=SummerSlam=] 2022'' saw him face Wrestling/RomanReigns once again, with fans apathetic to see them fight again to say the least. However, Brock would show this wouldn't be just another match between the two when he made his entrance riding a tractor. The real shocker however was when he decided ''[[TrashTheSet to use the tractor to tip over the ring with Roman still in it!]]''

* The week before ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2018'', Wrestling/BeckyLynch led the [=SmackDown=] women's roster in a raid onto their Raw counterparts; in the ensuing brawl, Lynch took a punch to the face from Wrestling/NiaJax that resulted in legitimate facial fractures and a concussion. Becky proceeded to completely ''NoSell'' it and continued beating the ''living hell'' out of Creator/RondaRousey, all while blood poured from her nose, leading to the iconic image of Becky on the arena steps telling the Raw women's roster to BringIt. And in that moment, she became the most over wrestler (no, not most over woman. Most over ''wrestler'') in WWE, and arguably the biggest since [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] during the build-up to ''[=WrestleMania=] XXX''.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_nIOkwInbc This is him in developmental, circa 2001.]]
* '''HE ENDED [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker THE STREAK]] CLEANLY.'''
* Lesnar's freakish physique and jaw-dropping accomplishments have led to him being referred to as some sort of bear-devouring manbeast. [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower It's not without reason.]]
--->'''Seanbaby:''' There aren't enough Coors Lights in The Mandalay Bay Events Center to drop a Brock Lesnar after it's made a fresh kill.
* It's not uncommon on the internet to see Lesnar (whose shoot-fighter-esque gimmick, if it can be called that, is about as down-to-earth and grounded in realism as one could find in the world of pro wrestling) spoken of as less a human being or even an animal and more a force of nature.
* After their ''abysmal'' match at WM XX over a decade before, the bar for his rematch with Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} at ''Survivor Series 2016'' was already pretty low. However, it being a SquashMatch was one thing, for '''Lesnar''' to be on the receiving end of such was quite the moment to say the least.

* 2008 saw nearly everyone peg Wrestling/TripleH as the winner, and with no other major stars expected to enter by #30, it was safe to say he'd do so. Expecting another midcarder or jobber to take the final spot, safe to say Madison Square Garden and the audience in general weren't expecting '''Wrestling/JohnCena''' (who mind you was sidelined a couple of months ago due to an injury he was expected to fully recover from ''after'' [=WrestleMania=] at the very least) to come in, as if he was never injured in the first place.
* The Men's Rumble in 2020 saw Brock Lesnar enter at #1, and as expected, he dominated from the start and was seen as at least making the Final Four. So to say the fans were shocked [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing and elated]] at him being eliminated by ''Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre'' midway through the match was an understatement.
