Brock Lesnar is possibly the biggest draw in all of pro-wrestling at the moment. WWE has done an incredible job of keeping Lesnar fresh over the years by only using him on special occasions. Defeating Lesnar is regarded as one of the biggest feats a Superstar could ever achieve. What's more, cleanly defeating The Beast is something a handful of wrestlers have managed to do.
In the following list, we'll take a look at 5 WWE Superstars who have defeated Lesnar clean.
Note: The list won't feature matches where Superstars defeated Lesnar using outside weapons (even though the match rules allowed the use of weapons), due to interference, or in a Handicap match. The article will consider the Superstars who have defeated Lesnar clean and scored pins/submissions on The Beast without the use of any outside entity.
#5 Drew McIntyre
Around 6 years ago, no one would have imagined in their wildest dreams that Drew McIntyre would defeat Brock Lesnar someday, in clean fashion. The Scottish Psychopath was once an enhancement talent in WWE and left the company in 2014. He came back three years later, after improving himself in all aspects.
The 2020 Royal Rumble match saw McIntyre eliminating Lesnar seconds after making his way to the ring, to a loud pop. Later, McIntyre threw Roman Reigns out to become the Royal Rumble winner and punched his ticket to WrestleMania 36's main event.
At The Show of Shows, it took four devastating Claymore Kicks for McIntyre to put Lesnar down, but he finally managed to pin The Beast cleanly. McIntyre has become the WWE Champion for the first time in his career following his win over Brock Lesnar, and it would be interesting to see how long he manages to keep the belt on his shoulders, now that several Superstars are gunning for him.

#4 Seth Rollins
The Beastslayer had defeated Brock Lesnar way back in 2015, by cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase during the WWE World title match between Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Rollins pinned The Big Dog to win the top prize, and Lesnar lost the belt without even getting pinned. By the time 2019 arrived, Rollins had become a mega babyface and won the 2019 Royal Rumble match. He faced Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 and won the Universal title with the help of a low blow and three Curb Stomps.
Months later, Lesnar cashed in his MITB contract on Rollins to win back the belt. At SummerSlam 2019, Rollins faced Lesnar again. In the end, Rollins countered an F5 from Lesnar and hit the Curb Stomp seconds later to win the Universal title. The Beastslayer had finally beaten Lesnar without using any outside object, or by questionable means. Rollins carried his momentum forward and went on to defeat Braun Strowman a few weeks later. He is currently the top heel on RAW and dubs himself The Monday Night Messiah.

#3 Kurt Angle
The rivalry between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar is widely regarded as one of the greatest feuds in WWE history. The two battled for the better part of 2003 and had some incredible matches. At WrestleMania 19, Lesnar defeated Angle to win the WWE title for the second time. Months later, Angle won it back at Vengeance 2003, in a Triple Threat match that also involved Big Show.
Lesnar soon turned heel and destroyed Angle on an episode of SmackDown. A Steel Cage match between Lesnar and Mr. McMahon ended with Lesnar turning on Angle, who was the special referee. At SummerSlam 2003, the two arch-rivals met again in a classic 20-minute back and forth. In the end, despite interference from Vince McMahon, Angle successfully locked the Ankle Lock on Lesnar and made him tap out. Lesnar would win back the title soon after, on an episode of WWE SmackDown. The two Superstars would engage in an hour-long Iron Man match, with Lesnar coming out victorious. Angle was working as a backstage producer in WWE for a while now and was recently released by the company.

#2 The Undertaker
If one looks back at all the instances The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar went at it, they would find that Lesnar has dominated The Phenom most of the time. The rivalry first kicked off in late 2002, with Lesnar destroying The Undertaker inside Hell In A Cell to retain his WWE title. Lesnar went on to throw him out of the ring to win the 2003 Royal Rumble match. Months later, The Undertaker tried to win the WWE title again, but Mr. McMahon prevented him from defeating Lesnar.
Around the same time, on the August 26, 2003 taping of WWE SmackDown, The Undertaker took on Big Show and Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat match, with Kurt Angle on commentary. The ending saw Lesnar trying to hit a Superplex on Big Show from the top rope. The Undertaker appeared under Lesnar and hit him with a thunderous Last Ride. This was enough for the pin, and fans roared in unison as soon as The Deadman bagged the victory. The Undertaker recently defeated AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in a Boneyard match, burying him alive in the process.
#1 Goldberg
Goldberg is a rare entity that has dominated Brock Lesnar like no one else ever has. The two feuded on the road to WrestleMania 20, back in 2004. At The Show of Shows, Goldberg defeated Lesnar with the aid of a Spear, followed by a Jackhammer. Stone Cold Steve Austin, who was the special referee in the match, ended up stunning both Superstars when all was said and done.
12 years later, Lesnar was running rampant on the WWE roster. Goldberg made his long-anticipated return to WWE and the two behemoths faced each other at Survivor Series 2016. In one of the biggest surprises in WWE history, Goldberg hit Lesnar with two Spears, and a Jackhammer, and picked up the clean win over The Beast. The arena erupted as Lesnar had never been dominated like this before. The most dangerous athlete in all of WWE was beaten by Goldberg in a matter of seconds.
Goldberg went on to eliminate Lesnar from the Royal Rumble match immediately upon entering the free-for-all. He finally lost to Lesnar in a Universal title match at WrestleMania 33. Goldberg lost his Universal title to Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 36 mere days ago, and there's no indication that he'll come back for another run somewhere down the line.
