Brock Lesnar is known to be the strongest and meanest force in the WWE. In fact, he is arguably the toughest man to defeat in the entire wrestling industry.
For almost two decades, we’ve watched Lesnar walk into the arena, squash his opponents in less than five minutes, and leave the ring leaving his opponents and the WWE Universe in shock.
Several of Lesnar’s victories have been the quickest of all time which makes some of his encounters a treat to watch for the fans.
While Lesnar has handed a defeat to many of his opponents in under two minutes, it’s important to note that Lesnar himself has lost under two minutes a couple of times.
Kurt Angle defeated him in 1 minute 17 seconds on SmackDown after Eric Angle took a beating from him and proved to be a distraction. Goldberg defeated Lesnar in 1 minute 25 seconds at Survivor Series 2016 in a dream match for the fans.
In this article, we will look at the 5 quickest victories of The Beast Incarnate, and how they’ve affected the Superstars involved.
#5 Ricochet - 90 Seconds
The latest edition of Lesnar’s quickest wins comes in at number 5 on the list.
During the 2020 Royal Rumble, WWE Champion Brock Lesnar decided to enter the Royal Rumble match as he saw no man in the locker room fit enough to face him at the event.
While Lesnar enjoyed thirteen straight eliminations during the match, it was a low-blow by Ricochet that ended up marking the end of his stay as Drew McIntyre Claymore kicked him over the top rope and out of the ring.
Soon after, Ricochet won the No.1 contender’s match for a chance to face the WWE Champion at Super ShowDown 2020 on an episode of RAW.
Ricochet entered the match with high hopes and a lot of support from the fans even though most of us were sure that he wouldn’t make it out of the ring victoriously.
However, what happened was completely unexpected as Lesnar managed to squash the highflyer with just a few German Suplexes followed by an F5. The match was over in one minute thirty seconds, reminding fans that no one who crosses Lesnar’s path without taking a trip down to the Suplex City!
#4 Paul London - 60 Seconds
For those of you who don’t remember Paul London, he was a Superstar who used to team up with Brian Kendrick and won the Tag Team Championships of the company thrice in his career.
With a fighting style similar to that of Kendrick, London was also a one-time Cruiserweight Champion for the company and was known as one of the best high-flyers.
However, things did not take off smoothly for the Superstar at first. When he debuted for the company, he was thrown into a match with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar immediately.
The lightweight Superstar was no match for The Beast Incarnate who went after his smaller opponent before the match could begin. Lesnar targetted London’s back and then delivered a thunderous running powerslam into the top turnbuckle.
He then delivered a bone-rattling powerbomb to the poor Superstar, after which he lifted him and delivered an F5 to end his miseries.
It took Lesnar a total of one minute to run through London, even though he could have done so right after the opening bell. However, Lesnar knows no mercy and enjoyed throwing around London before pinning him.
#3 Shannon Moore - 45 Seconds
Talking about throwing people around, Shannon Moore was thrown around by his opponents more than we’ve seen any other Superstar get thrown around in the ring.
His friendship with The Hardy Boyz, especially Matt Hardy, was good and bad for him during different periods. Moore is one individual who crossed paths with Brock Lesnar more than once.
His name came up during a WWE Championship opportunity lottery while Lesnar was holding the title back in 2003. Lesnar threw him around and ended the match in about one-and-a-half minutes.
However, it was the time he was put into a match against Lesnar by Hardy that hurt him the most. On an episode of SmackDown, Matt Hardy in his Version One gimmick was scheduled to face Lesnar.
Hardy decided to pull out of the match due to a black eye and threw his partner Moore into the matchup instead. While Moore managed to get some offense on Lesnar with a dropkick to the back of The Beast, he was thrown out of the ring with a belly-to-belly suplex by Lesnar.
Hardy quickly threw Moore back into the ring after which Lesnar delivered an F5 and pinned Moore to pick up the victory. Had Lesnar not wasted precious seconds by throwing Moore to the outside, he would have been done with his opponent a lot quicker!
#2 Seth Rollins - 17 Seconds
At Extreme Rules 2019, then Univeral Champion Seth Rollins and RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch took on Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans in a mixed tag team match. The rules of the match allowed the winners of the clash to take both the titles home, and Rollins and Lynch were poised to retain their titles.
After Rollins delivered three Stomps to Corbin to retain both his and Lynch's respective titles, Brock Lesnar’s music hit the arena. Lesnar arrived with his Money in the Bank briefcase with his eyes firmly set on the Universal Championship and decided it was the right time to cash-in his contract for the title.
The Money in the Bank briefcase holder entered the ring and a delivered couple of German Suplexes on The Architect before the cash-in was made official.
He then delivered an F5 which proved to be enough to win the Universal Championship a record third-time in just 17 seconds, leaving Rollins and Lynch in utter shock.
Lesnar lived up to expectations after several weeks of teasing and took revenge for the time Rollins cashed in his contract at WrestleMania 31 to take Lesnar’s WWE Championship home.
#1 Kofi Kingston - 7 Seconds
On the Season Premiere of SmackDown on Fox on October 4, 2019, records tumbled once Brock Lesnar entered the ring.
Lesnar appeared to challenge Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship, and many fans believed that Kofi’s red-hot run will allow him to get some offense in before taking the fall at the hands of The Beast.
However, they were gravely mistaken as the creatives did not show any mercy while booking the leader of the New Day in this clash. Kofi tried to attack Lesnar from the opening bell, but Lesnar caught him and delivered an F5 that ended Kofi’s reign as the WWE Champion.
It took only seven seconds for Kofi’s dominating six months’ reign as the WWE Champion to come to an end and marked the beginning of Lesnar’s fifth reign as the WWE Champion.
Many fans felt cheated as they believed they’d worked hard to put Kofi over and such a loss impacted his image and ended his reign unceremoniously.
This was by far Lesnar’s quickest victory inside the squared circle, and one of the quickest wrestling victories of all time. Lesnar was confronted by Cain Velasquez after his match.
