Former WWE and Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will go down in WWE history as one of the greats of the promotion. The Beast Incarnate, over the last two decades in WWE, has been booked very strongly, rarely losing matches and beating some of the biggest names in the company.

Although Brock Lesnar has lost very few matches in WWE, there are a few Superstars currently under contract with WWE who have beaten him in the past.

Let's take a look at seven current Superstars who have defeated Brock Lesnar in WWE:


#7 Triple H has defeated Brock Lesnar once

14-time World Champion Triple H, has faced Brock Lesnar on a few occasions in his WWE career. The two first stepped into the ring together way back in 2002 at WWE's Global Warming show in Melbourne, Australia, in a triple threat match that also featured The Rock. The Rock won that match against Lesnar and Triple H.

Triple H and Brock Lesnar then faced each other a decade later in 2012 at SummerSlam, where the latter won. But, Triple H got his one and only win against Brock Lesnar a year later, when the two met at WrestleMania 29.

The penultimate match of WrestleMania 29 saw Triple H and Brock Lesnar face each other in a No Holds Barred match. The Game put Lesnar in The Beast's trademark Kimura Lock, before landing a Pedigree on him to get the win.

But, Brock Lesnar had the last laugh in his feud with Triple H as he defeated The Game in a brutal Steel Cage match at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in 2013. The two legends have not faced each other since that match in 2013.

#6 Big Show defeated Brock Lesnar in 2002

Brock Lesnar has faced Big Show a number of times in his WWE career, especially at the start of his career. The two first teamed together in OVW before Lesnar's call-up to the main roster. After winning the WWE Championship at SummerSlam in 2002 - his first world title in WWE - Lesnar went on to face Big Show at Survivor Series, where he lost the match and title.

But, Brock Lesnar hasn't lost a singles match since then to Big Show. The two last faced each other in a dark match on RAW in 2017, where Lesnar won again.

Brock Lesnar reportedly told WWE management that he wanted to work with Big Show, which the giant revealed in an interview last year.

"Vince said to me ‘so you work pretty well with Brock?’ And I said ‘yeah.’ And then it went along and they asked Brock who he wanted to work with and he said me. He said ‘he’s a giant who can work.’ So that kind of endorsement, they were forced to take another look at me and I was able to make the best of that opportunity."

That could be the reason why Big Show and Brock Lesnar have feuded with each other a number of times over the last two decades.

#5 John Cena defeated Brock Lesnar in his return match in 2012

John Cena and Brock Lesnar both came through the ranks at OVW, WWE's then developmental territory, before becoming megastars on the main roster. Cena and Lesnar faced each other a few times at the start of their main roster careers on with the latter getting the better of the 16-time World Champion.

Brock Lesnar's first feud upon his return to WWE in 2012 was against John Cena, who had become 'The Guy' of WWE. Cena got his first of two wins against Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012. This was also Brock Lesnar's first match in WWE following his return to the company.

Cena then lost the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014, and couldn't regain the title. Cena's second win against Lesnar came via disqualification after Seth Rollins interfered in the match at Night of Champions 2014.


#4 Goldberg has defeated Brock Lesnar twice in WWE

Goldberg and Brock Lesnar have had a few high-profile matches in WWE, the first of which came at WrestleMania 20 in 2004. The match was won by Goldberg, but it will be remembered for how fans booed both Superstars, who were both set to leave WWE after that match.

Their second encounter came in 2016, which was Goldberg's return match at Survivor Series, where Goldberg defeated Brock Lesnar again. The Beast, though, won their final match at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 to win the Universal Championship.

#3 Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar in 2018 to win the Universal Championship

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have had a few noteworthy feuds in WWE, the first of which began in 2015. At WrestleMania 31, Lesnar was the champion going into a singles match with Reigns, before Seth Rollins cashed in his contract to win the title. The two faced each other once again a year later in a triple threat match that also involved Dean Ambrose.

Reigns didn't pin Lesnar in that match as he got the win after spearing Ambrose to get the win. At SummerSlam 2017, the two were once again in the same ring, this time in a fatal four-way match also involving Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe. Reigns was pinned by Brock Lesnar in this match, which resulted in Lesnar retaining his title.

Lesnar then defeated Reigns twice in 2018, first at WrestleMania 34, followed by a win at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. The Tribal Chief, though, had the final laugh in that feud as he defeated Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2018 to win the Universal title for the very first time.

#2 Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar twice in 2019

Seth Rollins' most memorable win in his WWE career came at WrestleMania 31 in 2015, when he cashed in his contract against Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. A few months prior to that win, Rollins had faced Lesnar and John Cena in a triple threat match at Royal Rumble, where Lesnar retained his title.

Brock Lesnar then won back the title a few months later at Battleground to end the feud with Rollins.

The two Superstars then faced each other the next time in 2019, where Rollins won his first singles match against Brock Lesnar, at WrestleMania 35, to win the Universal Championship. Rollins, though, held the title for just three months as he lost the belt to Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules.

Rollins ended the feud with Lesnar with another win against The Beast, this time at SummerSlam 2019. This win against Brock Lesnar made it two wins for Rollins against The Beast in 2019, which is a brilliant record to have against a dominant force like Lesnar.

#1 Drew McIntyre eliminated Brock Lesnar from the Royal Rumble and defeated him at WrestleMania

Drew McIntyre had a fantastic 2020 in WWE, first winning the men's Royal Rumble match, and then the WWE Championship after defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

McIntyre won the Royal Rumble match after eliminating six men, one of whom was Brock Lesnar. Lesnar looked dominant in the match and had racked up 13 eliminations after entering the match at No. 1, before McIntyre threw him over the top.

Drew McIntyre chose to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 after surviving a few F5s from The Beast, before landing a few Claymore Kicks of his own. The victory was Drew McIntyre's first against Brock Lesnar, and resulted in him winning the WWE Championship for the very first time.

That match was also Brock Lesnar's last match in WWE, with reports now suggesting that he is no longer under contract with the company. But, he is expected to return to WWE once crowds return to arenas in the near future.
