Summerslam is approaching and WWE enthusiasts are all to set to witness the action unfold at The Biggest Party Of The Summer!

Key clashes are set to take place at the upcoming PPV and it won't be wrong to say that the signs are looking utterly promising for the company.

One key clash will see Brock Lesnar battle Seth Rollins for Universal Championship. Seth Rollins recently suffered a horrendous beating at the hands of The Beast and ardent fans of the company are keenly looking forward to this mega battle.

Seth Rollins will be wary of the Beast Incarnate's dominant past at Summerslam and will be hoping to put a dent in Brock Lesnar's magnificent record at the PPV.

Paul Heyman's client has been part of some of the most famous clashes in the PPV's history and here we list down top 5 Brock Lesnar matches from the previous Summerslam editions :


#5 The time when Brock Lesnar played the Game - Summerslam 2012

In the summer of 2012, Brock Lesnar was set to face Triple H in an extremely personal bout. Brock Lesnar developed an intense rivalry with The Game whose arm he had broken once before their clash at Summerslam in 2012.

Brock Lesnar didn’t stop there as he also attack Triple H’s Best friend, Shawn Michaels during the run-in to the PPV.

The Game is regarded as one of the fiercest competitors of all-time but it won’t be wrong to say that Triple H devotees were shocked to their core upon witnessing Brock Lesnar break Triple H’s arm twice in three months. This compelled Triple H to tap out thus giving Brock Lesnar a victory.

The match solidified Brock Lesnar's status as The Beast on RAW and truly helped in establishing his character.

It was the first PPV win for Brock Lesnar in his second stint with the company and rest, as they say, is history!

#4 An electrifying contest- Summerslam 2002

Back in 2002, Brock Lesnar took on The Rock for the WWE Championship. The Beast was tipped to be the next big thing and his match against The Great One had all the ingredients to be a blockbuster. Despite Lesnar's impressive debut, he was by no means a favourite against The Rock- who was the top guy for the company.

The Rock and Brock Lesnar gave the fans a classic as both the men delivered their signature moves on one another.

WWE enthusiasts were left in awe upon witnessing Brock Lesnar's confidence as then-newbie wrestled like a seasoned pro against undoubtedly one of the greatest superstars of all-time, The Rock.

The match finished in a stupefying manner as The Beast blocked the people's elbow to deliver a thunderous F5 on The Rock to win his maiden WWE title.

Not many men have manhandled John Cena the way Brock Lesnar did at Summerslam 2014.

The Cenation Leader stepped in the ring as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion to defend his title against a hungry Beast whose eyes were set on becoming the new champion.

It was the night when Suplex City truly came into existence as Brock Lesnar hit numerous suplexes to conquer John Cena in a ruthless manner.

Brock Lesnar dismantled John Cena and it won't wrong to say that the WWE Universe was shocked upon witnessing the vicious beating The Beast gave to their favourite.

Before this iconic clash, fans had anticipated an even contest but sadly things never got going for John Cena as the Beast Incarnate delivered one of the most dominant performances of recent times.

And when the second bell rang, Brock Lesnar stood in the centre of the ring with his hand raised as successfully pinned John Cena courtesy of a thunderous F5!

The battle which saw two Paul Heyman guys collide in the squared circle as Brock Lesnar faced CM Punk for the first time.

The Beast Incarnate was taken to the brink as CM Punk very nearly pinned Brock Lesnar. But as they say that fortune favours the brave and Brock Lesnar narrowly defeated Punk to leave Summerslam 2013 the winner.

CM Punk and Brock Lesnar went toe-to-toe in his high octane clash which saw both the superstars hit numerous signature moves on one another.

Paul Heyman stood by Brock Lesnar's corner as his client delivered several earth-shattering suplexes to CM Punk.

Ardent fans of the company will agree to the fact that CM Punk's greatest asset was his sheer grit which saw him sustain the pain and face Brock Lesnar with all his heart.

At the end of this truly marvellous clash, Brock Lesnar stood in the centre of the ring with his hand raised as successfully pinned Punk.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest matches of recent times, the Fatal 4-way match contested between Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman is still fresh in the memory of WWE enthusiasts.

These four behemoths contested in an extremely brutal matchup which saw bodies flying, stretchers coming and much more.

Brock Lesnar had his back against the wall as he looked to defend his Universal Championship against three quality performers but the Beast Incarnate managed to walk out as the winner to close the show at Summerslam 2017.

Not many times do we see Brock Lesnar being carried out on a stretcher but such was the ferrociousness of this match that the Beast Incarnate had to be taken back for medical reasons in the middle of the bout, but the champion made a return minutes later to level the score with his three opponents and more importantly retain his title.
