5 times Brock Lesnar lost clean in WWE. 

Brock Lesnar is called 'The Beast' for a reason. He is a former UFC heavyweight champion as well as a multiple time WWE champion. It is known that Brock Lesnar does not always lose clean. Most of his losses came via some distractions or interference.

Even in his early days, Lesnar was incredibly protected. Within five months of his arrival to the main roster, the beast incarnate won the king of the ring tournament as well as his first WWE championship from the Rock at Summerslam 2002. Lesnar has scored losses in various multi-man matches, however, in singles matches, his loss tally is scarce.

However, there have been occasions where even the beast was tamed. Lesnar has had just five clean losses in his WWE career. In this list, we will be taking a look at the five times Brock Lesnar lost clean in WWE. This list does not include multi-man matches and will be only focusing on singles matches.

#5. Kurt Angle

For someone who started watching WWE after 2004, the sight of Brock Lesnar tapping out would be shocking. But in his first run, Lesnar tapped out a few times. He once tapped out to the Crossface from Chris Benoit in the 2003 Survivor Series. However, that match does not make this list since we are only talking about singles matches. In singles action, he also tapped out to Kurt Angle at Summerslam 2003.

To regain his lost WWE championship, Brock Lesnar challenged the Olympic gold medalist for a singles match at Summerslam. The duo had been in a feud since Royal Rumble 2003. At Wrestlemania, Brock defeated Kurt to win his second WWE title, but Kurt regained it at Vengeance. Brock invoked his rematch clause at Summerslam.

The match was outstanding with brilliant counters after counters. The bout swung between Lesnar and Angle. Even after Mr. McMahon attacked Angle, Angle did not give up. In the end, the Olympian countered an F5 into a beautiful Angle Lock, forcing him to tap out, handing him his first ever clean defeat in WWE.

#4. Bill Goldberg

In one of the most lacklustre WrestleMania matches of all time, Goldberg handed Brock Lesnar his first clean pinfall loss at Wrestlemania 24. However, the crowd did not care for either of the men as they were set to depart from the company after the event. Neither of the men did anything to impress the crowd as well.

Lesnar cost Goldberg the Royal Rumble match after F5-ing him midway into the match (though Lesnar was not a participant). This interference irritated Goldberg, who in turn cost Lesnar his WWE title to Eddie Guerrero. Even the build as intriguing as it was didn't help the match from falling flat. Goldberg put Lesnar down with a Jackhammer for the win.

Stone Cold hitting both the competitors with the Stunner after the match was the only high point of the entire segment. We would not see Lesnar in a WWE ring for eight years after that.

#3. John Cena

After his hiatus from WWE, Lesnar became a UFC heavyweight champion, making him a mainstream attraction. Therefore, Vince McMahon spent a huge amount to convince 'The Beast Incarnate' to return to WWE.

Lesnar interrupted a John Cena segment on the RAW after Wrestlemania 28, to a huge ovation from the crowd. Lesnar and Cena entered into a rivalry - setting up their match at Extreme Rules 2012.

However, for some reason, WWE decided to give Cena the win over a returning Lesnar. Cena hit Lesnar with a chain, put him down with an Attitude Adjustment onto a steel step for the win.

#2. Bill Goldberg - again

Goldberg squashed Brock Lesnar.

In 2016, after a lot of teases, Bill Goldberg made his long-awaited return to WWE to have a one-off match against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series that year. Since Brock Lesnar was portrayed as an unstoppable force by that time, what happened next shocked everyone around the world.

In the main event of Survivor Series, Bill Goldberg squashed Brock Lesnar in just 1 minute and 22 seconds. Goldberg speared him twice and hit the Jackhammer for a clean pinfall victory.

#1. Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns had clean victories over The Undertaker, John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H and almost all other top superstars in WWE. Hence it was only a matter of time before he slew Lesnar. Even though it was planned for Roman to beat Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31, the crowd reaction allegedly postponed this crowning moment for three and a half years.

At Summerslam 2018, Reigns finally defeated Brock Lesnar to capture his maiden Universal title. Even though Braun Strowman was at ringside and Lesnar was distracted by the monster, it should be noted that Lesnar attacked Braun without any provocations. After laying waste to Braun, Lesnar was greeted with a surprise spear for the 3-count.
