4. Drew McIntyre vs. Brock Lesnar: WrestleMania 36
While 2020 was a year of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the Showcase of the Immortals being held at the WWE Performance Center without fans, it also provided a career-defining moment for Drew McIntyre. Facing off against Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, the “Scottish Warrior” rose to the occasion to secure his long-awaited WrestleMania moment.
Despite its short duration, this high-impact battle was undeniably effective. McIntyre proved his dominance by kicking out of an F-5 at the count of one, the first of several he would survive, truly cementing his reputation as a “warrior.”
Lesnar also proved that “The Beast” was more than just a nickname, as it took four Claymore Kicks for McIntyre to keep him down, finally. This marked a career-defining moment for McIntyre as he became the first-ever British-born WWE Champion. However, it remains a bittersweet “what if” moment in history, as there were no fans in attendance to celebrate his first world title win due to the pandemic.
