One of the most memorable matches of Brock Lesnar’s first run with WWE came in February 2004 when he lost the WWE Championship against Eddie Guerrero in the main event of the No Way Out pay-per-view.

At the time, Guerrero was the ultimate babyface who fans were desperate to see as WWE Champion, while it was common knowledge that the villainous Lesnar was set to depart WWE after the following month’s WrestleMania XX event.

With the referee down, the finish to the match saw Goldberg jump over a barricade and plant an almighty spear on Lesnar, leaving both Superstars, plus the official, on the mat.

Guerrero almost stole a victory with a slow pinfall cover but Lesnar was able to kick out after a 2-count. The former WCW star then reversed an F-5 into a DDT onto a steel chair before following up with a frog splash to record the biggest victory of his career.

One month later, Lesnar went on to leave WWE after losing against Goldberg in a match that was hijacked by fans who knew that both men were on the verge of leaving. Guerrero, meanwhile, retained his WWE Championship against Kurt Angle and held the title for 133 days.
