Destroying the ring using Big Show as a weapon
In case one remembers, during the initial days of his career in WWE, Lesnar had a notable feud with Big Show.

Following his initial stint in WWE, Lesnar tried his luck as an MMA superstar and joined UFC. After his opening two matches, he challenged Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

Returns to WWE, feuds with John Cena
When Lesnar made his WWE return in 2012 on Raw, it was one of the biggest surprises of the decade as no one had ever expected so. Furthermore, what made it even more enchanting to watch was Lesnar going after John Cena, who was at the peak of his career. As he feuded with Cena, he destroyed the latter, while it boosted Raw's ratings.
Ending Undertaker's WrestleMania unbeaten streak
Following his return to WWE, Lesnar was on a warpath with every big star. However, his most important feud came when he was challenged by The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30. With the world expecting Undertaker to beat Lesnar fair and square, the latter pulled off a miracle, as he ended the streak, leaving fans shell-shocked. He proved once again that he is extraordinary talent.
