Brock Lesnar made his big return to WWE at the 2021 SummerSlam event and confronted Roman Reigns. The Beast Incarnate then launched a brutal attack on former John Cena, who wasn't in a position to defend himself after an exhausting Universal title outing with The Tribal Chief.
Lesnar received quite a loud reaction from fans in attendance as he had been absent from TV ever since his WWE title loss to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36. McIntyre joined an elite list when he put him down at The Show of Shows.
In the following slideshow, we will take a look at every WWE Superstar who has defeated Brock Lesnar, one-on-one, ever since he made his main roster debut way back in March 2002.
Note: The slideshow will only focus on legitimate wins that include pinfalls, submissions, or countouts. DQ wins won't be included, immediately eliminating matches like Lesnar vs. Spanky, or Lesnar vs. Zach Gowen.
A special thanks to ProFightDB for the data used in this list.
#10 Big Show
Big Show was the first wrestler to beat Brock Lesnar in a singles match on the main roster. Lesnar had suffered two singles defeats via DQ to Rob Van Dam before his outing with Show, though. He had turned into a babyface after defeating The Undertaker inside Hell In A Cell at No Mercy 2002.
He met Big Show at Survivor Series 2002 with the WWE title on the line. The finish to the match saw Paul Heyman turn on Lesnar and help Show pick up a major win over the WWE Champion.
#9 Kurt Angle
On the road to WrestleMania XIX in 2003, Brock Lesnar challenged Kurt Angle for the WWE title after winning the Royal Rumble match. Angle had previously put Big Show down to win the prestigious belt. On the March 13, 2003 edition of SmackDown, Lesnar lost a WWE title match to Kurt Angle.
He would eventually exact revenge and defeat Angle at WrestleMania to win the belt. Months later, the latter would defeat Lesnar for the WWE title at SummerSlam 2003, via submission. Vince McMahon interfered in the match, but his plans to help Brock Lesnar win were foiled by Angle.
#8 The Undertaker
By late 2003, Brock Lesnar had turned into a full-fledged heel. He faced The Undertaker in a dark match on the October 14, 2003 episode of SmackDown, with the WWE title on the line. The Deadman picked up his first win over Lesnar, but failed to win the WWE title as the victory came via a countout.
The Undertaker struggled to win matches against Brock Lesnar throughout the duo's stint together on WWE TV. His second and last win over Lesnar came at SummerSlam 2015, via submission.
#7 Eddie Guerrero
Brock Lesnar faced Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out 2004 with the former's WWE title on the line. Lesnar was feuding with Goldberg at the same time as he had cost the RAW Superstar an opportunity at the World title at WrestleMania XX, courtesy of a distraction during the Royal Rumble match.
Goldberg interfered in the WWE title match and helped Guerrero score a huge upset win over Brock Lesnar in what many fans still deem one of the greatest moments in WWE history.
#6 Goldberg
Brock Lesnar set his sights on Goldberg after No Way Out 2004 and the two powerhouses met at WrestleMania XX in Madison Square Garden. Lesnar lost to the WCW icon and both men were hit with Stunners by special referee Stone Cold Steve Austin in the end.
Lesnar quit WWE and made his return eight long years later. It took another four years for Goldberg to return to the company. At Survivor Series 2016, Goldberg squashed The Beast Incarnate in his return match to a huge pop. The latter would finally defeat the Hall of Famer at WrestleMania 33 in 2017.
#5 John Cena
Upon Brock Lesnar's return to WWE in 2012, he targeted megastar John Cena and the two men squared off at Extreme Rules. The bloody encounter ended with Cena picking up the win, much to many fans' dismay.
Lesnar reportedly caused a ruckus backstage after the match, as he was unhappy with the Cenation leader no-selling his beating. He famously squashed Cena two years later at SummerSlam 2014 to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The latter picked up a DQ win over Lesnar at Night of Champions, courtesy of interference by Seth Rollins.
#4 Triple H
Brock Lesnar kicked off a feud with Triple H following his loss to John Cena. The Beast Incarnate put The Game down at SummerSlam 2012 but the rivalry was from over. The feud was reignited on the road to WrestleMania 29 a year later.
At The Grandest Stage Of Them All, Triple H defeated Brock Lesnar in a No Holds Barred match. Lesnar would go on to put The Cerebral Assassin down inside a Steel Cage at Extreme Rules 2013, thus putting the feud to rest. This was the final in-ring encounter between Triple H and Lesnar.
#3 Roman Reigns
At WrestleMania 34 in 2018, Roman Reigns met Brock Lesnar for the Universal title in the show's main event. It took Lesnar six F-5's but he finally managed to defeat Reigns to retain the belt. The duo faced off again in Saudi Arabia, this time inside a steel cage, with Lesnar coming out victorious this time around as well.
At SummerSlam 2018, Reigns finally beat Brock Lesnar to win the Universal title. The reign would be short-lived though, as The Tribal Chief went on to relinquish his belt and take time off to battle leukemia.
#2 Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins won the 2019 Royal Rumble match and challenged Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. A low blow and three Curb Stomps did the trick for Rollins as he defeated Lesnar to win the Universal title at WrestleMania.
The Beast Incarnate would later cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase on Rollins to win back the belt. The two arch-rivals met again at SummerSlam 2019, where The Architect scored a clean pin over Lesnar to finish off the rivalry.
#1 Drew McIntyre
Brock Lesnar targeted then WWE Champion Kofi Kingston on the SmackDown brand after losing his feud with Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2019. He squashed Kingston in a matter of seconds on the FOX premiere of the Blue brand and became the WWE Champion.
Lesnar entered the 2020 Royal Rumble match as the first entrant and dominated the match as no one had ever done before. He threw out 13 men before being eliminated by Drew McIntyre.
Brock Lesnar was on a quest to win the annual free-for-all, but McIntyre had other plans in mind. He went on to win the whole thing and later challenged Lesnar to a WWE title match at WrestleMania 36. At The Show of Shows, The Beast Incarnate and McIntyre faced off in a battle of the titans.
The match didn't even last five minutes and Drew McIntyre won the WWE title by defeating Brock Lesnar. Months later, Lesnar's contract with the company expired, but fans were hopeful to see him in a WWE ring again.
Lesnar finally returned at The Biggest Party of the Summer this year and the WWE Universe is going to witness a huge showdown between him and Roman Reigns, somewhere down the line.
