Brock Lesnar has perhaps been the most devastating Superstar in WWE history. The Beast Incarnate has achieved almost everything a Superstar can inside the ring, and he even holds the distinction of being the first man to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

WWE’s Chairman, Vince McMahon, has always been high on The Conqueror, and the fact that he is yet to hold a mid-card championship in WWE signifies the aforementioned statement.

Though he is a part-timer now, he still is the top draw of the company. This is the reason why he features in the WWE main event scene to date.

To defeat Brock Lesnar inside the squared circle has always been considered a huge achievement and very few WWE Superstars have accomplished this feat. Although defeating Brock Lesnar even once is a huge deal, there have been 3 Superstars in WWE history who have slain the Beast twice so far.


#3 Seth Rollins

The most recent name to feature on this list is none other than the reigning Universal Champion, Seth Rollins. The Kingslayer has defeated Brock twice in the year 2019, with his first win coming at WrestleMania 35, while he pinned Lesnar once again in the main event of SummerSlam 2019.

At WrestleMania, the Superstars got physical before the bell, and it looked like Lesnar would win the contest with ease. However, Rollins turned the tables with a low blow and then used his finisher, the Stomp, to win the title.

Lesnar regained the championship from Rollins by cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase, but The Architect soon became the new #1 contender for the Universal title, setting up a date with the Mayor of Suplex City.

Though Rollins wasn't 100 percent fit for the encounter, he still won against Lesnar at SummerSlam, thus becoming the third Superstar in WWE history to defeat Brock twice.

#2 Bill Goldberg

The former Universal Champion, Bill Goldberg, had made a triumphant return to WWE at Survivor Series 2016 where he squashed Brock Lesnar, sending shockwaves through the WWE Universe.

Considering Goldberg was wrestling his first match since WrestleMania XX, no one expected him to defeat Brock Lesnar in the iconic match-up, forget about squashing him clean.

Coincidentally, Goldberg’s WrestleMania XX match was against Lesnar as well, and The Myth had defeated The Conqueror in that battle. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the special guest referee of the match which ended with Goldberg pinning Lesnar after a Jackhammer.

However, the fans in attendance knew that both Superstars were leaving WWE after the bout, hence, they hijacked the high-profile clash with some annoying chants. Austin won the hearts of the fans by executing a stunner on both Superstars. Goldberg returned to WWE 12 years later to become the second man to defeat Lesnar twice.

#1 Kurt Angle

The then WWE Champion, Kurt Angle, had put his title on the line against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2003. Though the fans focussed more on the Elimination Chamber match scheduled for the show, these two real-life friends stole the show with their championship match.

The WWE Universe was surprised to see that Vince McMahon allowed Kurt Angle to tap Brock Lesnar out via submission. Angle’s trademark Ankle Lock helped him seal the deal and retain his WWE Championship at the Biggest Party Of The Summer.

However, before that encounter, Angle had scored a pinfall win over Lesnar on a SmackDown episode. The two uperstars had locked horns in the main event of the SmackDown episode dated 13 March 2003, with the WWE Championship on the line.

The fans may not call it a clean win since Kurt’s brother, Eric Angle, played a huge role in the match. Nevertheless, Angle kept hold of his championship with a quick roll-up in the closing moments of the episode.
