10 Best Brock Lesnar Matches From WWE's Ruthless Aggression Era

6. Vs. John Cena - Backlash 2003

It doesn't get any more "ruthless aggression" than Brock Lesnar versus John Cena. These two men are the definition of what the concept was all about: the next generation of superstars with bold intensity. They should have been The Rock and Austin of the era, with Backlash 2004 as the first of many wars.

It was a good match, and it went some way to elevating Cena. Yes, Brock retained his championship via the F5, but the entire story and match action was a win for Cena. You just knew he was going to go on to very big things, and ultimately he has proved an even bigger star than Brock.
