Brock Lesnar has made plenty of history at SummerSlam

#1 SummerSlam main-event run (2012-2018)

While Brock Lesnar has racked up plenty of individual SummerSlam triumphs, it’s even more impressive that he is currently on course to headline the August PPV for the sixth time in seven years.

From 2012 to 2016, he featured in the main event against Triple H, John Cena, The Undertaker and Randy Orton, while he also closed the show in 2017 against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe.

The only time he hasn’t been in the final match on the card in recent years came in 2013 when John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan went on last instead of Lesnar vs. CM Punk.

The recent WrestleMania main-event record of Reigns is often brought up by fans, but headlining SummerSlam six times in seven events (and a total of seven times including 2002) isn’t bad going!
