#2. Seth Rollins defeated The Beast twice for two title reigns

Seth Rollins is the only superstar to win the Universal Championship twice by defeating the same individual, Brock Lesnar. Rollins won the 2019 edition of the Royal Rumble and challenged The Beast Incarnate.

The Architect stood tall in their clash at WrestleMania after a nasty low-blow. Lesnar took revenge by cashing in his Money in The Bank briefcase on Rollins.

Their skirmish came to a climax at SummerSlam when The Beast Slayer pinned down The Beast in clean fashion to become a two-time Universal Champion.


#1. Brock Lesnar is the only superstar to win the Universal Championship thrice

Like the World Heavyweight Championship is essentially attributed to Edge, Brock Lesnar is arguably the ultimate Universal Champion. He is the only superstar to claim the title thrice in his career.

His first reign started when he defeated Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. The reign was historical as it lasted roughly one and a half years. He was ultimately dethroned by Roman Reigns at SummerSlam in 2018.

After Reigns relinquished the title due to medical reasons, The Beast Incarnate defeated Braun Strowman to win the vacant title.

The third time he won the title was when he was Mr. Money in The Bank. He cashed in his briefcase on Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules to become the first-ever three-time Universal Champion.

Having won the 2022 Royal Rumble, Lesnar has challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. It is just a matter of time until it is uncovered whether Lesnar will become a four-time champion.
