This is one of the few matches on this list where Brock Lesnar did not emerge victorious and instead got a taste of his own medicine.

Truth be told, the build to The Beast Incarnate vs. Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35 left a lot to be desired. It started off hot with Rollins winning the 2019 Royal Rumble match but quickly fizzled out when Lesnar laid out Rollins with several F5s on the next night's Raw.

Once it was announced that the women's Triple Threat would be headlining WrestleMania over Lesnar vs. Rollins, having them open the event in epic fashion was the next best thing, especially since this was designed to be less of a match and more of an angle.

Lesnar's vicious assault on Rollins before the bell caused fans to fear that Rollins would be squashed within seconds once their match officially got underway, similar to most of Lesnar's other victims. Instead, Rollins fired back right out of the gate, connected with three consecutive Curb Stomps, and scored the pinfall win to a huge ovation.

At long last, Lesnar's days of being an absentee champion were over (for a few months, anyway). Say what you will about Rollins' recent fall from grace, but he has never been more over than he was in that moment at 'Mania.
