6 Times Braun Strowman failed to win the WWE Universal title

#5. No Mercy 2017 - Brock Lesnar (c) Vs. Braun Strowman

Brock Lesnar certainly had 'No Mercy' for Braun Strowman's world championship hopes

As detailed in the last slide, Brock Lesnar pinned Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2017 and not Braun Strowman. This led to Strowman confronting Lesnar during the Universal Champion's victory celebration the following night on RAW. The confrontation led to a singles match between the two at No Mercy.

On his way there, Strowman competed in an iconic Steel Cage Match with Big Show where he sent an emphatic warning to Lesnar by throwing The Big Show through the steel cage.

In fact, Strowman got the better of Lesnar for most of the build up to their PPV match and even stood tall over the 'Beast Incarnate' with the title. Strowman was incredibly white-hot over with the crowd as an unstoppable monster. Most fans believed that Braun Strowman was the man who would slay 'The Beast.'

Both Superstars were victims of several high impact maneuvers and Brock Lesnar even kicked out of two running powerslams. Lesnar eventually retained his title with one F5 and the pinfall, ending Strowman's second attempt to become a world champion.
