WWE SummerSlam 2019: Top 5 performers at the PPV

#3 Brock Lesnar

The Beast Incarnate shows why he is the champion!

Seth Rollins may be the new Universal Champion but Brock Lesnar was the real star of this show. It is well known among the WWE Universe that The Beast Incarnate can have great matches when he wants to. SummerSlam 2019 was one such night when the WWE Universe once again got to witness Lesnar in his deadliest form.

But this time, Lesnar was not all about manhandling Seth Rollins. In the previous weeks, Lesnar brutalized Seth Rollins during Monday Night Raw which included delivering multiple F5s on a chair followed by one on a stretcher.

The build-up to this match was so compelling that fans were scared if the match would live up to his hype. If only we knew what the Beast has in mind...

Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins started with the latter being brutalised. But The Architect was determined to fight for the title until his last breath. Each of Rollins' blows was well complimented by Brock Lesnar who helped execute the storyline to its perfection.

He did not look weak at any point during the match. Instead, he ensured that Rollins looks good in his comeback.

In a surprisingly long match, Lesnar took multiple bumps including one from a high flying Beastslayer which took them both through the announce table.

After getting pinned, Lesnar crawled out of the ring and remained on his fours while Rollins was seen celebrating in the background.

Time and again, Lesnar has proved that he can be a master inside the ring during the matches which he prefers.

His previous matches against the likes of AJ Styles and Finn Balor are perfect examples of that and his SummerSlam encounter against Seth Rollins is the latest addition to that list.
