At WrestleMania 30, Brock Lesnar shocked the world by defeating The Undertaker and ending his famed WrestleMania streak. The Phenom's record was tainted with this one loss, after winning 21 straight WrestleMania matches. Lesnar immediately turned into the most destructive force in all of WWE. He challenged WWE World Champion John Cena at SummerSlam 2014.

The match began with Lesnar executing an F5 on Cena, but it wasn't enough to bag a pin. The rest of the match was a squash with Brock Lesnar hitting a total of 16 German Suplexes on Cena.
Although the match lasted just over 16 minutes, Cena got little to no offense and was heavily dominated by The Beast. A second F5 resulted in Lesnar getting the pin and winning the WWE World title.
Cena had become a living legend by that point and this squash was a big shocker for the WWE Universe. Lesnar would keep the title for months on end, finally losing it to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31, after the latter cashed-in his MITB briefcase in the main event.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
