Angle vs Lesnar at SummerSlam 2003

At WrestleMania 19, Brock Lesnar defeated Kurt Angle in the main event of the night, to win his 2nd WWE title. Lesnar and Angle went on to become best friends but the friendship didn't last long. Brock turned on Angle on an episode of SmackDown and turned heel in the process. At SummerSlam 2003, the two athletes met again for the WWE title. The roles from WrestleMania 19 were reversed here, with Angle now being the fan-favorite babyface, and Lesnar donning the persona of the dastardly heel.

This bout was just one of several instances that proved that Lesnar and Angle were able to create magic whenever they met inside the squared circle.
