Despite the buildup and multiple squash victories, no one seriously thought Big Show was going to present much of a challenge for Brock Lesnar. In fact, the only questions were how long would the match last and how dominant would Brock be. The answers to those questions were simple: Not long and very. Lesnar shrugged off three successive chokeslams to quickly deliver four German suplexes and an F5 for the convincing victory. To add insult to injury, Brock returned to confront a dazed Big Show, who flipped off Lesnar. Brock would deliver an overhead belly-to-belly suplex and another massive F5 to the hapless giant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ6t_rxj778 It will be interesting to see if this is played up at all on Raw, whether Show comes out and laments losing so convincingly. Fans have been chanting for Show to retire, so maybe its time to incorporate that into a storyline.
