#14 The Rock vs Brock Lesnar – SummerSlam 2002
SummerSlam 2002 might be one of the best years for the show. The card saw several top matches scattered throughout, and as a result is often referred to when talking about the top matches of all time.
The match between The Rock and Brock Lesnar is one that cannot be forgotten when talking about SummerSlam. The Rock was in the middle of his seventh reign as WWE Champion while also dominating the Hollywood Box Office.

However, there was someone new looking to take over in WWE. Brock Lesnar entered WWE at this time as “The Next Big Thing”. He faced The Rock in the main event of the match, and overcame everything The Brahma Bull threw at him. He managed to take the Sharpshooter, The Rock Bottom, and the spinebuster.
Instead, he mocked The Rock by hitting him with a Rock Bottom of his own. He went on to hit him with an F-5 and became the then-youngest WWE Champion in the history of the company.
The match signaled the change of an era in WWE.
