Ranking all 11 of Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship matches

#4. Brock Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe (Great Balls of Fire)

Brock Lesnar's reign as Universal Champion actually got off to a good start, despite his absence from television for two months following his victory at WrestleMania 33. He entered a red hot feud with Samoa Joe in June and July of 2017, and the match at the humorously named pay-per-view was equally hot.

Before the bell rang, Samoa Joe attacked Brock Lesnar, hitting him with a slam on top of the announcer's table, weakening him until he could set up for the Coquina Clutch. For a while, it looked like Joe might conquer the conqueror, but Brock Lesnar reversed the hold into an F5 to retain his title.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Joe wasn't done chasing " The Beast," however. He claimed that Lesnar had merely "escaped him," and this match was merely a preview for even better things to come.
