6. Brock Lesnar

2014 belonged to Brock Lesnar as he ended The Undertaker’s legendary 21-0 unbeaten streak at WrestleMania 30. The Beast Incarnate wasn’t resting on his laurels as he was looking to win the WWE Championship from John Cena. Cena and Lesnar had a storied rivalry, and Lesnar took Cena to Suplex City in the main event of SummerSlam.

The Beast Incarnate’s performance was dominant, and he destroyed Cena en route to becoming the WWE Champion for the first time in 11 years. Cena attempted to regain the title from Lesnar multiple times, but that failed to materialize, with Lesnar going on to hold the title until WrestleMania 31.
