These Superstars managed to conquer The Beast

Brock Lesnar is no doubt one of the most dominant Superstars in sports entertainment. The Beast has defeated some of the biggest Superstars in WWE history and he has accomplished almost everything in WWE. From championship success to winning the Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, Money in the Bank contract and main eventing WrestleMania, there's nothing that Lesnar has not done.

Even though he holds a list of big names that he defeated over the years, he isn't invincible, and he too has fallen short against many Superstars. Brock Lesnar rarely loses a match, but when he does lose, it often comes as a surprise to many fans. Very few Superstars managed to defeat The Beast more than once. That tells you how unstoppable the former Universal Champion is.

That said, let's take a look at five times Brock Lesnar shockingly lost a match in WWE.


#5 Seth Rollins - WrestleMania 35

After winning the men's Royal Rumble match, Seth Rollins earned the right to challenge Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Show of Shows. Their 'Mania match surprisingly opened the show, and Lesnar beat Rollins all over the arena even before the bell was rung. Just like most of The Beast's previous victims, The Architect became a resident of Suplex City when the match began.

Many people didn't believe Seth could slay The Beast, and that's how it looked during the match until Rollins had enough and decided to go low. This gave him the advantage over a pain-ridden Lesnar and allowed him to execute three Stomps to pin Lesnar for the win. Fans were overwhelmed with excitement at the sight of a new and full-time Universal Champion.

Several months later, Lesnar and Rollins collided for the Big Red Belt once again at SummerSlam, but this time, The Beastslayer pinned Lesnar clean, even though he was injured and bruised. This loss damaged Lesnar's credibility.

#4 John Cena - Extreme Rules 2012

Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE in 2012 and immediately ignited a feud with John Cena, who lost to The Rock at that year's WrestleMania. Brock was gone from WWE for 8 years and during his time away from the company, he enjoyed success in UFC and NJPW.

John Laurinaitis, looking to bring legitimacy to WWE, brought Lesnar back and a match was set for Extreme Rules between him and Cena. This was The Beast's comeback match and he gave the 16-time World Champion a fight. He busted Cena open and beat him up in the most vicious match in recent memory.

Cena used his padlocked chain to open up Lesnar and he hit the latter with an Attitude Adjustment on the steel stair to win the match. This was a disappointing loss for Lesnar as it was his first match back in WWE.

#3 The Undertaker - SummerSlam 2015

The Phenom made a surprise return to WWE at Battleground where he cost Lesnar his match against Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. 'Taker appeared on Raw the following night and a match was set-up between the two for The Biggest Party of the Summer. Undertaker pissed that Paul Heyman and his client kept bringing up the fact that The Beast conquered the streak, returned to avenge his legacy.

The ending of the match was quite controversial, as the timekeeper rang the bell after he saw The Deadman tapping out to Lesnar while he was locked in the Kimura Lock. Because the referee did not see 'Taker tap out, the match continued, and The Phenom capitalized by delivering a low blow to an inattentive Lesnar, allowing him to apply his own submission - the Hell's Gate.

Lesnar passed out and 'Taker was declared the winner. The Undertaker came out the weaker man despite winning the match, because not only did he tap out, but he also took the coward's way out, going below the belt. Fans were stunned at what just transpired and the two had a rematch at Hell in a Cell where Lesnar managed to get the win.

#2 Eddie Guerrero - No Way Out 2004

No Way Out 2004, the night the late Eddie Guerrero did the unthinkable by defeating Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship. This iconic match brought joy to all the fans at the arena and inspired other Superstars like Sasha Banks to become a WWE Superstar.

During the match, Lesnar delivered an F5 on Guerrero but mistakenly knocked out the referee. This allowed Goldberg to make his way to the ring and hit Lesnar with a Spear as the latter was about strike Guerrero with his WWE Championship belt.

After Lesnar recovered, he lifted Guerrero for another F5, but the latter countered and hit The Beast with a DDT on top of the title before delivering the Frog Splash and winning the match and the WWE Title. The crowd erupted with cheers and Guerrero celebrated his win with the fans.

Speaking of Goldberg...

#1 Goldberg - Survivor Series 2016

The former WCW Champion made his return to WWE for the first time in 12 years to take on The Beast at Survivor Series in 2016. Just like Lesnar, Goldberg is also a dominant force in pro-wrestling and he has laid waste to a lot of Superstars. Their first match in WWE occurred at WrestleMania XX where Goldberg came out the victor. Both men left WWE following the event and at Survivor Series they were set for their big rematch.

Brock Lesnar shockingly lost the match in just one minute and twenty-six seconds after receiving two Spears and one Jackhammer from Goldberg. This came as a major shock because The Beast was squashed by a wrestler who hadn't wrestled a single match in 12 years. The two Superstars had one more match at WrestleMania 33 where Lesnar defeated Goldberg to capture his first Universal Championship.
