Brock Lesnar is simply a breathing tank who effortlessly destroys his opponent. He doesn’t worry about who he is against; he only cares about causing destruction upon the one who stands in his way, for which he is renowned. For an instance, The Beast manhandled the 16-time WWE champion John Cena at SummerSlam in 2014.
In SummerSlam 2014, he delivered not one, but 16 German suplexes, which is totally breathtaking. Speaking about this match, Cena highlighted the brutality that told it even went to the point where it made him understand German.

The Chain Gang Soldier, never even in his craziest thoughts, would have anticipated taking 16 suplexes. When asked about taking German suplexes in an interview with Gorilla Position, The Champ stated, “It was enough for me to learn a little bit of german! I’ve since forgotten it but it was a very hard-fought contest. When things aren’t necessarily going your way and that was quite a one-sided match you wanna stay in there as long as you can try to make the best of the opportunity.”
The Cenation Leader hilariously made light of the fact that Lesnar had delivered so many of the German suplexes on him. Moreover, he explained how this provided him motivation to prove his mettle once again.

In his words- “I mean after that match there was quite a few people talking about not only the dominance of Brock Lesnar. But maybe the demise of the twilight of me and so as much as I didn’t do well at SummerSlam. It was a great sense of motivation to like prove everyone wrong once again.”
Brock Lesnar destroyed John Cena with 16 suplexes
The WWE commentator John Layfield aka JBL, who had served as the company’s soundtrack for years, was startled by Lesnar’s superiority to the point that he warned that if the bout weren’t called off, Lesnar would have mercilessly crushed Cena. JBL said, “That’s a 15-time world champion. You gotta take care of him. He is gonna get hurt against Brock Lesnar if the referee doesn’t call this match off.”

The match was under his control when Lesnar hit an F5 on Cena. The Suplex City went on with Brock Lesnar continuously lifting Cena up and suplexing him. Brock pinned the champion after hitting him with a second F5 and completely dominating the match and unleashing 16 suplexes.
Nobody had ever witnessed Cena dealing with such brutality against him, which made the 16-time WWE champion appear puny. In fact, it remains one of the most dominant matches in the company’s history.
