Five years ago today, WWE delivered one of the most unexpected and unforgettable returns in SummerSlam history as Brock Lesnar made his shocking comeback!

The reaction from the WWE Universe said everything — Brock Lesnar was back, and Roman Reigns had a new problem. That shocking moment would eventually spark one of the most memorable rivalries of the modern era.
