5. Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena (c): SummerSlam 2014
Fresh off ending The Undertaker’s legendary streak at WrestleMania, Lesnar went on to battle the face of the company, John Cena, for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
While this wasn’t the standard back-and-forth contest we’re used to seeing, it became iconic for the one-sided demolition process that Lesnar put Cena through. In fact, it was the same formula that WWE decided to use for the pair’s final showdown at last year’s Wrestlepalooza PLE.
Lesnar delivered a whopping 16 German Suplexes and two F5s to pick up the victory, winning his first gold in WWE in 10 years. While this wasn’t a standard, traditional wrestling match, it was the perfect follow-up to make Lesnar truly WWE’s biggest bad guy after ending Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania, making him look as dominant as possible.
4. Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman vs. Samoa Joe: SummerSlam 2017
At SummerSlam 2017, Brock Lesnar faced a daunting task as he defended his WWE Universal Championship in a chaotic Fatal 4-Way match against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and Samoa Joe.
The perfect way to describe this matchup is to see four bumper cars constantly crashing into each other. The pacing never slowed down as Reigns utilized his explosive power while Joe showcased his raw tenacity. But it was the offense from Strowman that truly made things look like trouble for the champion.
Strowman put Lesnar through not one, but two announce tables. While being stretchered away by medical staff, a defiant Lesnar found his way back into the ring. In the closing moments, with just Lesnar and Reigns left standing, Lesnar caught Reigns in mid-air as he went for a Spear, delivering a massive F5 to pick up the victory and retain his title.
