SummerSlam<\/a> is still more than 3 weeks away, but WWE has already confirmed its top matches. Among the most highly anticipated clashes is Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar III, with the Ruler and the Beast Incarnate tied at one win apiece. They will settle the score inside Hell in a Cell.<\/p>\n

As fans will recall, Lesnar and Femi delivered an instant classic<\/a> that opened WrestleMania 42 Sunday. Their rubber match at SummerSlam 2026 is part of a growing trend of revisiting Mania rivalries on the company’s second biggest event. These rematches evolve beyond the Show of Shows with higher stakes and fresh stipulations.<\/p>\n

On that note, let’s look at the best WrestleMania rematches from SummerSlam history<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#5\/4. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar Ran it Back at SummerSlam 2018 and 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As two of Vince McMahon’s favorite pets, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns’ rivalry spanned years, which included several bouts at WrestleMania and SummerSlam. In 2018, Lesnar defeated Reigns in an underwhelming main event at Mania 34 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.<\/p>\n

Four months later, the Big Dog finally toppled the Beast to win the Universal Championship. It was a vast improvement from their bout earlier in the year at Mania. History would repeat itself in 2022.<\/p>\n

In “The Biggest WrestleMania Match of All Time” at AT&T Stadium, the Tribal Chief conquered Lesnar to unify the WWE and Universal Championships. This should have been the final chapter in their epic feud, but the company booked a Last Man Standing match between the two titans at SummerSlam 2022.<\/p>\n

Their Last Man Standing match was legendary, with many considering it their greatest match together. The Tribal Chief, with the help of the Usos, put away Lesnar for the count of 10.<\/p>\n
