10 Best Brock Lesnar WWE Matches
2. Vs. CM Punk (SummerSlam 2013)
0A match between two certified Paul Heyman Guys is almost bound to be pretty good, and this one - a No Holds Barred grudge bout at SummerSlam - certainly lived up to the billing.
According to the tale of the tape (along with the received wisdom of anyone who has seen them standing eye-to-eye), it should have been a complete mismatch, but this was Punk not seven months removed from his 434-day title-reign, a wily pro with the guile to bring his opponent down to his own size.
It was with this match still fresh in the memory that fans went into Lesnar's subsequent encounters with Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton in 2016 with such high expectations - but, for whatever reason, WWE favoured one-way traffic over a competitive, balls-to-the-wall slug-fest.
