Brock Lesnar's 10 Best Second-Run WWE Matches
The greatest conquests of the Beast Incarnate.
We're coming on six years since Brock Lesnar made his glorious return from the worlds of Football, MMA, and New Japan to Vince's cavalcade of kayfabe. Operating on a part-time schedule, The Beast has been able to maintain his allure and drawing power by limiting his appearances and saving his best performances for the biggest shows.
While that's all well and good for Brock's brand, however, such practices have earned him the ire of more hardcore sections of the wrestling fandom. It's gotten to the point where now Roman Reigns is cutting promos about what an entitled part-timer he is in order to get a face reaction.
At this point, we're not entirely sure if Brock Lesnar is going to re-sign with WWE when his contract expires after WrestleMania. If his bout with Roman Reigns truly is his swan song, let's take the time to look at the matches that have made Brock's biggest detractors swallow their pride and admit that he's a huge asset to the company when he's in top form.
You'll find no suplex spamming squashes; this is Brock Lesnar at his very best.
10. Vs. The Undertaker (SummerSlam 2015)
There are two things Brock Lesnar's grudge match with The Undertaker at SummerSlam 2015 is remembered for: that gif, and the absurd finish. If you don't know the story, Brock had 'Taker in the Kimura lock, and out of sight of the referee, 'Taker tapped out. The timekeeper, seeing this, went rogue and rang the bell prematurely. In the midst of the confusion, 'Taker low-blowed Brock and put him in Hell's Gate, to which the Beast passed out from the pain, making 'Taker the winner by technical submission.
It's a shame that this was the finish, because otherwise, the two men had an absolute barnburner of a match. Not hindered by a concussion which made his streak-ending WrestleMania match such a letdown, The Undertaker brought out the stops to beat up his hated rival. For his part, Brock brought out his best for 'Taker and didn't just resort to Suplex City (b*tch).
However, as mentioned, this match is mainly known for the confusing finish, which dampens the preceding fight, but wow, what a fight it was. Definitely worth a look.
