20 Best Triple H Wrestling Matches Ever
11. Vs. Brock Lesnar - SummerSlam 2012
Brock Lesnar's shocking return in 2012 got off to a rocky start when John Cena pinned the MMA Legend clean on his first PPV back. Knowing damage control was required, Triple H fought the Beast at that year's Summerslam in a match billed as "The Perfect Storm".
Two things to remember regarding this match is Triple H's arm which Lesnar had previously broke, and Brock's abdomen which had caused him to retire from his UFC career. The two were major focal points throughout the match and lead to some major high drama spots, largely regarding the Game's weakspot.
Throughout the match Lesnar would constantly look the re-break the arm that had only recently healed. He had complete control and even when Hunter took advantage, it didn't last long. When the Game targeted the abdomen following an announce table bump and several knees, it wasn't enough to fell his adversary. When Triple H attempted a pinfall, Lesnar countered into a particularly painful looking Kimura Lock which the Game had no choice but to tap out to.
Rarely does Triple H allow himself to look weak on TV, let alone a big-four PPV, so seeing this beatdown wasn't only refreshing but also shocking to see the Beast overcome one of the most notorious burial artists in the business, and Hunter's hard work made Lesnar into the most dominant force on the roster for quite some time.
