23 WTF Moments From WWE RAW (July 13)

23. Paul's Right, Almost...

You can see what Paul Heyman was trying to do here, but as ever, we're here to set the record straight.

Heyman made a big deal about how the WWE Universe would be able to see Brock Lesnar as a challenger at a WWE PPV, rather than a Champion. The advocate would then go on to outline a couple of the more famous instances of where The Beast has walked into an event belt-less, before walking out with a strap over his shoulder. Heyman basically said that every time Brock has challenged for something, he has won it at the first time of asking. 

This got us thinking, surely Paul tripped up here? Surely Brock has unsuccessfully challenged for a WWE Championship at least once?

Well, he did. SummerSlam 2003 saw Brock challenge then WWE Champion Kurt Angle for the title, only to lose the match via submission. 

It goes without saying that we're nitpicking here, but someone's got to do it...
