5 crazy Brock Lesnar WWE stats you need to see to believe

As Paul Heyman likes to remind everybody, Brock Lesnar is one of the most decorated athletes in sports and/or entertainment, and right now he is "the reigning, defending, undisputed" WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion.

Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news.

“The Beast” has held the title since defeating Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 and, after recent back-to-back victories over Roman Reigns, he has broken multiple records along the way.

In this article, we take a look at five stats about Lesnar’s WWE career that you might not know.

#5 He is on the longest PPV winning streak of his career

Many fans expected Brock Lesnar to lose against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34

Back in 2003, Brock Lesnar showed exactly why he was nicknamed “The Next Big Thing” by racking up a PPV winning streak of six matches against The Big Show x2, Team Angle, Kurt Angle and John Cena, while he was also victorious in the Royal Rumble.

Fast forward to the present day and “The Beast” has surpassed his previous record of six PPV wins in a row, defeating Goldberg, Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles and Roman Reigns x2 in singles matches, as well as Strowman, Joe & Reigns and Strowman & Kane in multi-man matches, to take his current tally to eight consecutive PPV victories.

#4 He has won as many PPV matches in 2018 as Xavier Woods has in his whole career

Brock Lesnar has won all three of his PPV matches in 2018 so far, defeating Kane and Braun Strowman at the Royal Rumble before getting the better of Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 and at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.

“The Beast” is one of WWE's biggest box-office attractions of the last decade, so while it’s a little unfair to compare Xavier Woods to someone of that magnitude, it’s still interesting to note that the New Day member has won just 16.6 percent of his PPV matches throughout his career.

The former Tag Team champion’s tally of three wins in that time (18 matches) means he has won the same number of PPV matches in his whole WWE career as Lesnar has in this calendar year.

#3 Eddie Guerrero was the last person to pin him for a title

Eddie Guerrero defeated Brock Lesnar at No Way Out 2004

One of the most memorable WWE moments of the 00s came in February 2004 when Eddie Guerrero pinned Brock Lesnar at the No Way Out pay-per-view, with a little bit of help from Goldberg, to win the WWE Championship.

That means, as crazy as it might sound when you consider that the match took place over 14 years ago, Eddie was the last person to pin Lesnar for a title in WWE.

One month after the match, “The Beast” departed WWE, and his only championship defeat since then came at WrestleMania 31 against Seth Rollins, but it was Roman Reigns who took the pinfall.

#2 He is set to become the longest-reigning world champion in 30 years

Brock Lesnar still has a long way to go to break Hulk Hogan's record

CM Punk held the WWE Championship for 434 days between November 2011 and January 2013, making him the longest-reigning holder of a major title in WWE this century.

However, that tally will finally be surpassed when Brock Lesnar, who is not currently scheduled for a match in the near future, takes his Universal Championship reign to 435 days on 11 June 2018.

Lesnar will become the longest-reigning world champion in WWE since Hulk Hogan’s 1,474-day reign with the WWE Championship was ended by Andre The Giant in 1988.

#1 He has only been pinned once in five years

Goldberg stunned the WWE Universe by defeating Brock Lesnar in 2016

Brock Lesnar has competed in 31 televised matches since his return to WWE in 2012 but he has only suffered a pinfall loss on three occasions.

Two of those defeats came during his first year back with the company – against John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012 and against Triple H at WrestleMania 29 – while the third took place when he lost after just 86 seconds to Goldberg at Survivor Series 2016.

That means, in the five years he has been competing in WWE since losing to HHH, the Universal champion has been defeated in just one match via pinfall.
