Over the last two decades in WWE, no one has been more dominant a challenger as “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar. Ever since his debut in 2002, Lesnar has been an unstoppable force and the pinnacle of a fighter.
His superior athleticism and exceptional strength give him the edge over any opponent he faces. Defeating this man could very well be the career highlight of a Superstar.
So much so that only a handful of WWE Superstars have mange to stand tall over Lesnar, and emerge victorious from a fight with him.

According to this record, Lesnar has only lost 25 matches in his entire career as a professional wrestler. This record counts all the losses seen on TV only.
Unsurprisingly, The Undertaker is on top of the list with a record 5 wins against Lesnar in his career. If you think the feud over The Streak was brutal, look up their feud back in 2002-2003 over Brock Lesnar’s title.
This one was equally bloody. Lesnar and Taker have met multiple times on big events and PPVs. However, The Undertaker has only managed to emerge victorious once. This came at SummerSlam 2015 when Taker set out to avenge his broken WrestleMania streak.
Next on the list is Kurt Angle. “The Olympic Hero” had one of the biggest feuds in WWE history with Brock Lesnar that would go on for most of 2003.
Coming off the huge win against WrestleMania over Kurt Angle and taking his title, Lesnar found himself in the sights of Angle. The two had a constant rivalry after that with a series of non-PPV jousts.
On these various matches on SmackDown, Angle notched his wins over Lesnar and even managed to add to the tally at SummerSlam. The Angle Lock is one submission move that Lesnar cannot bear.
Even though Lesnar managed to end the rivalry with a historic win in an hour-long Iron Man Match on SmackDown, Angle had already made it up on the list, not that it mattered to Brock.
Seth Rollins beat Brock Lesnar even with a rib injury
Big Show, Seth Rollins, John Cena, and Goldberg all managed to slay “The Beast Incarnate” twice. We all remember Goldberg from THAT quick win against Lesnar for the Championship, but the most heroic wins of the three came from Seth Rollins.
“The Monday Night Messiah” managed to overcome a rib injury and strategically defeat physically superior Lesnar to win the title. I’m not talking about the one where he cashed in his Money in the Banks briefcase. This was the match in SummerSlam 2019.
John Cena also managed to slay the beast twice in their legendary rivalry in 2012. These wins were another career-high for John Cena even though Lesnar finished him off the next year.
The rest of the listed Superstars had epic last stand matches against Lesnar. Drew McIntyre is the latest on this list to have beaten Lesnar.

“The Next Big Thing” put all of these Superstars through the grinder and never gave them an easy time. Beating Lesnar is as good as you can get, and most Superstars have never reached that level of ‘good’.
