'The Beast Incarnate' had long been known as the ace of SmackDown. When he first debuted in the Blue brand, Vince McMahon pulled the trigger and kickstarted his career as the main-event player he has now become.

In 2003, Lesnar lost his WWE Championship to Kurt Angle at SummerSlam, after which, he regained the title on an episode of SmackDown a few weeks later. It was only the second time ever that the WWE Championship changed hands on an episode of SmackDown. Vince McMahon was the only wrestler to do so previously (he won the title in 1999). Since then, only two wrestlers have won the WWE Title on SmackDown (AJ Styles in 2018 and Daniel Bryan in 2019).

When SmackDown jumped ship from the USA Network to FOX, WWE booked a huge match for the show in the form of Brock Lesnar vs Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. As expected, Lesnar won the WWE Championship and in the process became the only Superstar to win the title on SmackDown for the second time. This impressive feat is included in this list because World Championships rarely change hands on weekly shows. Lesnar's impressive record will likely stand the test of time.
