Ranking EVERY Brock Lesnar Match As WWE Universal Champion From Worst To Best
4. Vs. Samoa Joe (Great Balls Of Fire 2017)
This felt like a big title match, since it was not only Brock's first after winning it from Goldberg at WrestleMania 33, but it was also Samoa Joe's first World Championship match in WWE.
The build up to this match was fantastic, with Joe putting both Lesnar and Paul Heyman in the Coquina Clutch and establishing himself as a credible opponent for 'The Beast'. Brock Lesnar won in a match that turned out to be short, but it delivered and elevated both guys in the process, which didn't happen in Lesnar's match with Braun Strowman later that year.
