Brock Lesner's first loss in WWE came at the hands of the World's largest athlete, The Big Show at the 2002 Survivor Series pay-per-view.

Lesnar went into the match with storyline rib injury and Big Show took advantage of it earlier in the match. But, Lesnar came back into the match and hit Big Show with an F-5 and covered him for the pin. Lesnar's manager Paul Heyman turned heel by pulling the referee out of the ring.

While Lesnar was busy chasing Heyman, Big Show hit Lesnar in the ribs with a steel chair, chokeslammed Lesnar onto it and pinned him to win the WWE Championship.

#6 Kurt Angle (2003 SummerSlam)

In the 2003 SummerSlam PPV, the current Raw General Manager Kurt Angle defended his WWE championship against Brock Lesnar. Angle got the initial advantage as he hit Lesnar with some offensive manoeuvres including DDT, Angle Slam and the ankle lock.

But, Lesnar weathered the storm by countering the hold and knocking the referee down. Angle gained momentum with another ankle lock but Vince McMahon interfered and hit Angle with a steel chair to break the submission hold.

Since the referee was down, Lesnar was not disqualified for an outside interference. Afterwards, LesnarLesnar got the upper hand and when was about to deliver a F5, the 1996 Olympic Gold medalist countered the throw into another ankle lock and this time, Lesnar tapped out to Angle, who retained his WWE title.

#5 Eddie Guerrero (2004 No Way Out)

Eddie Guerrero took on the WWE champion Brock Lesnar in the main event of the 2004 No Way Out. Lesnar got an early advantage and dominated Eddie for a majority of the duration as he used his size advantage over the late wrestler throughout the match. When Lesnar tried to hit Eddie with an F5, the referee was knocked down.

Lesnar tried to take advantage of the referee's position by bringing in the WWE championship belt to hit Eddie, who was already down. Out of nowhere, Goldberg came out and hit Lesnar with a spear, planting seeds for a feud with Lesnar going into WrestleMania.

Since the referee was down, Eddie didn't get disqualified. Still, Lesnar had enough in him to deliver another F5 on Eddie but Eddie countered it into a DDT on the title belt which Lesnar brought in. By the time the referee regained consciousness, Eddie kicked the belt out of the ring to prevent himself from DQ.

Then, he went to the top rope and delivered a frog splash on Lesnar and pinned him to win the WWE Championship.

#4 Goldberg (2004 Wrestlemania and 2016 Survivor Series)

Goldberg is the only wrestler in WWE to pin Brock Lesnar twice. After costing Lesnar the WWE championship against Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out, Goldberg took on Lesnar at WrestleMania 20 and according to many, that was the most boring matches of all-time. Even with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special referee, the match failed to live up to the expectations. After the match, both Lesnar and Goldberg left WWE.

They both had a face-off again almost 12 years after they faced at WrestleMania 20. This time, it was the 2016 Survivor Series PPV and Lesnar was not the same Lesnar he was 12 years ago, he was The Beast Incarnate.

While everyone expected Lesnar to smash Goldberg, the former WCW champion delivered a couple of spears followed by a Jackhammer and pinned Lesnar in less than two minutes, something that came as a surprise to many.

#3 John Cena (2012 Extreme Rules)

After losing to Goldberg and leaving the company in 2004, Brock Lesnar returned in 2012 and was involved in a feud with John Cena straightaway leading to an Extreme Rules match between these two at the 2012 Extreme Rules PPV. This was Lesnar's first WWE match since the loss to Goldberg and the former UFC champion started off on a strong note making Cena bleed with a vicious elbow to his head.

The match carried on in spite of Cena receiving two medical attention as both men were willing to give up and exchanging their signature moves. The match came to an end when Cena hit Lesnar with a metal chain which resulted in blood. A re-energized Cena then delivered an Attitude Adjustment to Lesnar onto the steel steps and pinned him.

#2 Triple H (2013 WrestleMania)

Brock Lesnar took on Triple H at 20113 WrestleMania in a No Holds Barred match that had Triple H's career at stake and saw various interferences from Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman and Triple H's best friend Shawn Michaels.

Both the men went on the offence attacking each other with whatever they got in their hands. The match had Shawn Michaels getting an F5 from Lesnar and Paul Heyman receiving Sweet Chin Music. After a long brawl, Triple H used Lesnar's own submission move, the Kimura lock, and locked it on Lesnar for an extended amount of time after which he hit Lesnar with a Pedigree onto the steel steps and got him down for the three count.

#1 The Undertaker (SummerSlam 2015)

The feud between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker a year after Lesnar ended Undertaker's WrestleMania streak was one of the best in the last five years. This was also the Phenom's first SummerSlam match since 2008 and the first match in a PPV which is not WrestleMania since 2010.

The match saw Undertaker deliver a Chokeslam, a Tombstone Piledriver and a Last Ride on Lesnar but all three were near falls. In return, Lesnar delivered two F5s in vain and locked the veteran in a Kimura Lock which he managed to touch the rope.

Undertaker applied Hell's Gate on Lesnar, who countered the move and put Undertaker in another Kimura Lock. The timekeeper saw Undertaker taping out and rang the bell. But, the referee didn't see any submission and wanted the match to be continued.

Lesnar released the hold thinking that he had already won the match and while the referee was arguing with the timekeeper, Undertaker hit Lesnar with a low blow and applied Hell's Gate again. Again, Lesnar refused to submit and Undertaker the middle finger before passing out to give Undertaker the win.
