Brock Lesnar F5ing The Rock

Before he was a part-time former Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar was the next big thing on SmackDown. The former NCAA champion and Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) graduate would have a meteoric rise to the main event scene of the WWE. Lesnar would beat The Rock at SummerSlam 2002 for the WWE Undisputed Championship, becoming the youngest WWE Champion in the company's history in the process .

Alongside his advocate and then GM of SmackDown, Paul Heyman, Lesnar would wreak havoc upon the Superstars of SmackDown and establish himself as one of the biggest box-office attractions in the company. Lesnar would pick up victories against the likes of Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, John Cena, and The Big Show on the Blue Brand Capturing the WWE Championship thrice.
