5 Wrestlers whose first title win was the WWE Championship

#2 Brock Lesnar

Please don’t eat me

Back in 2002, the only thing that wrestling fans could bring themselves to talk about was the rise of Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate was a genetic freak and whilst he’s slowed down over the years, back in those days he truly was an absolute monster. So unsurprisingly, within a few months of debuting he was lifting the WWE Championship up high.

Brock captured the gold from The Rock at SummerSlam 2002, with the former NCAA Champion cementing himself as a legitimate bad ass and a bonafide main eventer. Prior to this, he mostly spent his time squashing anyone who stepped in his way, and in the present era he’s pretty much picked up right where he left off.

They don't want none.
