The 2014 SummerSlam at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was the venue for one of the most brutal and one-sided WWE Championship matches in history. The main event pitted WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena against Brock Lesnar.

Cena started the match well, rushing towards Lesnar and pushing him into the corner with big rights and lefts. The Beast Incarnate, however, was quickly able to reverse the offense and hit an F5 on Cena less than 30 seconds into the match. The Cenation Leader was barely able to kick out.

Over the ensuing 15 minutes, Lesnar delivered multiple German suplexes, a huge vertical suplex, countless knee, and elbow strikes, and one final F5 to pin John Cena for the title victory. It may not have been as fast as the other Championship wins on this list, but this was one of the most dominant performances by a challenger.
