At SummerSlam 2002 Lesnar captured his first ever WWE championship against the Rock, in a match that cemented his status as a main event level talent.

This was a very high paced match that Lesnar dominated with his power and agility, 'the next big thing' used his experience from his amateur background by getting the Rock down in a waist lock, this was a perfect illustration of his versatility in the ring.

Lesnar's use of the bear hug, the same move that he beat Hulk Hogan with previously, added to the intensity and drama of the match.

Lesnar won the match with an F5 after a back and forth ending. It was a contest with a 'big match' feel that delivered, both men had great chemistry in the ring and it made for a pulsating main event.

It is impossible to watch this match without thinking Lesnar is the complete wrestler, there was nothing he couldn't and didn't do in the ring.

Although Lesnar went into this match as the heel up against the hugely popular Rock, it is very telling that the fans were firmly behind him as he captured his first WWE title at just 25-years of age.
