5 of Brock Lesnar's best WWE matches since his return in 2012

Brock Lesnar made a shocking return to the WWE on April 2, 2012. He previously left the WWE in 2004 after a terrible main event at WrestleMania XX with Goldberg.

Since making his comeback, he has been dominant, and has had some historic feuds and memorable matches with the likes of John Cena, The Undertaker, Triple H, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and CM Punk, to name a few.

Rumors suggest that his match at SummerSlam this Sunday against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship could be his final match in the WWE. One outrageous theory is that Lesnar could head to the UFC with the Universal Championship around his waist.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer has cleared up what The Beast has left on his current WWE deal. According to Ringside News, he said:

"He's under contract with WWE until the end of August, and he's got one more match in his contract."

He's also apparently set for the RAW after SummerSlam. If Lesnar is indeed leaving the WWE after SummerSlam, it would be a huge loss for the WWE because he has been a star attraction for them since 2012. Let us take a look at his 5 best matches during his second stint with the WWE.

#5 Brock Lesnar vs John Cena (SummerSlam 2014)

The Beast took Cena to Suplex City 16 times

This match is one of the most shocking matches in the history of SummerSlam. The fans expected a back-and-forth match between Lesnar and Cena, but instead were treated to a squash match.

Lesnar dominated the match from the start. He took John Cena to Suplex City, and by the time the match was over, Cena was suplexed 16 times! That was not all, Lesnar had to F-5 Cena twice to finally pin him down and become the WWE Heavyweight Champion.

Such a dominant display made Lesnar unconquerable. This match was one-sided but fans were hoping that Cena would somehow manage to overcome the odds and retain his title, but Brock was too strong for him. The booking was perfect by the WWE, as the fans were shocked when they left the arena, treated to a memorable main event.

#4 Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell 2015)

This was a very bloody conclusion to their feud

Brock and The Undertaker had three matches during their feud. The first was at WrestleMania XXX, where the WWE fans saw the end of the streak, which is still shocking.

The second at SummerSlam 2015 was a great match, but the confusing finish ruined it for most of the fans. Their third encounter at Hell in a Cell 2015 was the best. This was a Non-PG match, and a treat for Attitude Era fans.

Lesnar and Taker were both busted open, and gave their all. This was supposed to be the end of their feud, it ended brutally with Lesnar standing tall in the end. Lesnar had to low blow Taker and also F-5 him on the exposed mat inside the ring to win the match. The feud with Taker further made Brock Lesnar more dominant.

#3 Brock Lesnar vs John Cena (Extreme Rules 2012)

Lesnar went Extreme after making his comeback against John Cena

This was Lesnar's first feud after returning to the WWE. Extreme Rules pay-per-view has at least one match which gets brutal. At Extreme Rules 2012, Lesnar and Cena went at each other's throats as soon as the match started. Lesnar busted Cena open early on in the match, and Cena wrestled with a bloodied face throughout the match.

Although Cena won the match, Lesnar was able to cement his place as The Beast Incarnate after the match. He had returned from the UFC, and the WWE wanted him to look strong by beating the holy hell out of their top star.

This match was loved by the fans of the Non-PG era. The match was dominated throughout by Lesnar, and Lesnar winning would have made more sense, but ultimately Cena won - making Lesnar's return to the WWE a memorable one.

#2 Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins vs John Cena (Royal Rumble 2015)

A match that needs a lot more appreciation

The Beast, The Architect, and The Champ squared off against each other at the Royal Rumble 2015 for Lesnar's Heavyweight Championship. This match did not get the appreciation it deserved mainly due to the main event.

The Royal Rumble 2015 was won by Roman Reigns, and was a disaster as he got a poor reception after his win, even after having none other than The Rock raising his cousin's hand in victory.

The Triple Threat match was an absolute spectacle. Lesnar, Rollins, and Cena worked beautifully together. The match was hard-hitting and high-octane. There were a number of eye catching violent moments.

Rollins drove Lesnar through a table with a huge diving elbow, Cena and Lesnar clobbered each other outside the ring, and Lesnar also caught Rollins mid air for an F-5. All these moments made this match a must watch. In the end, The Beast conquered all and retained his WWE Heavyweight Championship.

#1 Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns (WrestleMania 31)

Their first encounter was the best till date

Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns started their feud at WrestleMania 31. Roman Reigns won the Royal Rumble 2015 to face Lesnar at WrestleMania 31. This match is still regarded as the best WrestleMania main event in a long time.

Lesnar and Reigns delivered a bloody slug-fest. They charged up a crowd intent on booing The Big Dog. Lesnar demolished Reigns, but Reigns had no intention of giving up soon. They fought until Seth Rollins charged and became the first man to cash in his Money in the Bank contract mid-match, thereby winning the WWE Heavyweight Championship.

This was a brilliant booking as both Lesnar and Reigns looked strong, and Rollins winning the title at the end of WrestleMania 31 became a memorable event.

Lesnar and Reigns have faced each other one on one twice since then, and will be going up against each other one final time this Sunday at SummerSlam. WWE fans are eagerly awaiting a shock result once again, that could end their feud on a high.
