At this point, Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling. Even though he is only a part time performer, he is one of the highest paid superstars on the entire WWE roster and commands a big spot on whatever match card he's on.

This is no small part due to the incredible career he has had inside the squared circle. Sure, he might have only been a part of the WWE for less than half of his professional career - with the other half dedicated to mixed martial arts in the UFC, a failed American Football dream in the NFL and a short stint in New Japan Pro Wrestling - but, he has made a massive mark during his time.

But, despite his impressive accomplishments, Lesnar seems to have stagnated somewhat in terms of his skillset and variety of matches. They all pretty much amount to suplexes, F-5s and that's about it. This limitation coupled with his standing in the company means he has not competed in a number of gimmick matches which are mostly considered a staple for main event wrestlers.

So, without any further ado, here are five gimmick matches Brock Lesnar has never competed in:


#5 Ladder match

The Ladder match has long been considered one of the most athletic-challenging and exciting matches that the WWE has in its locker. Some of the WWE's most iconic moments have come courtesy of ladder matches.

So, doesn't it make sense that you put someone with Lesnar's athleticism, power, and lust for violence in a match like this in order to really build the excitement for an event? Well, if you look at the Brock Lesnar of today, then no. Because he would just flat out refuse to do it.

But, it really is a missed opportunity that the Beast Incarnate of the 2000s wasn't put into a ladder match. After all, he agreed to do a Shooting Star Press in a Wrestlemania main event so why not put him in a ladder match?

Well, whatever the reason, Lesnar has never competed in a Ladder match.

#4 I Quit match

The I Quit match has never really worked in the WWE unless one of the competitors really showed a monstrous side to themselves. You know who loves showing his monstrous side? If your answer was anyone other than Brock Lesnar, you shouldn't be reading this article.

Anyway, the whole concept of I Quit matches revolves around inflicting so much pain upon your opponents that they are forced to utter the words "I Quit" and the match doesn't end until the words are spoken.

One scenario where this could have been perfect would have been in the aftermath of Seth Rollins' shocking Wrestlemania Money in the Bank Cash In. An irate Lesnar going after Seth in an I Quit match? Yes, please.

The good thing is, there is still time for this match to unfold. Lesnar vs Braun Strowman in an I Quit match, perhaps?

#3 Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match

The Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match was specifically designed to take the very best of the Ladder matches, Tables matches, and the less than stellar Chairs matches and combine them into one big bag of violence.

This is the match type that offers the greatest capacity of insane spots and almost always delivers a fascinating match to audiences around the world. Who can forget last year's TLC match between AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose even if the finish was ruined by James Ellsworth?

My point is, the WWE Universe deserves to have one of the biggest stars in the company - Brock Lesnar - compete in one of the company's most exciting gimmick matches - the TLC match.

Much like the Ladder match, it seems unlikely that Lesnar would agree to one but we can hold out hope.

#2 Last Man Standing match

How has Brock Lensar not competed in a Last Man Standing match? It makes absolutely no sense.

In a match where the objective is to beat your opponent to such an extent that they aren't able to stand up and before a count of 10, someone of Lesnar's ferocity would be right at home.

It seems like the WWE wasted two opportunities to make use of the Last Man Standing stipulation when Brock was feuding against both Triple H and The Undertaker, when he broke The Deadman's legendary Streak.

But, there is still time to make this one happen.

#1 Elimination Chamber

The Elimination Chamber is where the biggest and baddest dudes on the WWE roster are locked inside an intricate chamber and are left to absolutely destroy each other. And, for some reason, no one thought that Brock Lesnar should be a part of one.

If Lesnar does continue to hold the WWE Universal Championship into next year, the company should do everything within its power to ensure he defends the belt inside an Elimination Chamber.

Here's to hoping we see The Beast Incarnate as a part of the legendary Chamber.
