With SummerSlam fast approaching, we may be about to witness the last sighting of Brock Lesnar in a WWE ring for quite some time. As the former UFC Heavyweight Champion prepares for a return to the octagon, now seems like an opportune moment to reflect on the Beast Incarnate’s best moments during his storied WWE career.
Despite being a surefire future Hall of Fame inductee, Brock Lesnar has divided fan opinion throughout his two runs with WWE. Many see him as the greatest natural athlete ever to set foot in the squared circle, while others argue that Lesnar has only ever acted as a self-aggrandizing mercenary with little respect for the wrestling business.
In fact, Lesnar has gone as far as to support these accusations and admits that he didn’t grow up as a fan of professional wrestling. He even outright admitted to not watching Raw now — as he’s the show’s reigning champion!
Regardless of his motivations, Lesnar has consistently been one of WWE’s biggest draw’s during each of his two spells with the company. And with that immense drawing power, championship gold has naturally followed. By the time Lesnar likely drops the Universal Championship at SummerSlam, he will leave the WWE as a 5-time world champion and the longest reigning modern-day champion.
For a man whose two stints in WWE only total 8 years, much of it on a part-time schedule, that amounts to an incredible achievement. Here are the best 15 moments from his controversial, but brilliant career.
