The spring of 2002 saw possibly the greatest class of rookies making their way to the WWE main roster. The batch consisted of John Cena, Batista, Shelton Benjamin, Randy Orton, and Brock Lesnar.
A case can be made for Lesnar being the biggest Superstar of them all, as he went on to win the WWE title in a matter of months, left WWE, and became a megastar in UFC, and came back years later to bag one of the most lucrative contracts in WWE history. WWE made it a point to feature Lesnar in big-time matchups, including WrestleMania showdowns.
To date, Lesnar has faced a total of 7 Superstars at WrestleMania, and has registered 5 victories. His only losses at The Show of Shows came against Goldberg, Triple H, and Seth Rollins.

#5 Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley)
At WrestleMania 32, Brock Lesnar took on Dean Ambrose in what many were hoping to be a hard-hitting, intense brawl. Unfortunately, the match didn't live up to the fans' expectations, with Lesnar making quick work of Ambrose.
The Shield member later opened up on the match on WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast, and made it clear that he wasn't happy with how things turned out in the end. Ambrose added that he had planned a bunch of interesting spots for the match, but Lesnar wasn't interested in the same.
Ambrose went on to leave WWE last year, and made his shocking debut at AEW Double Or Nothing. Presently, Ambrose is one of the biggest Superstars in AEW, and goes by his old moniker of Jon Moxley.
#4 Kurt Angle
The road to WrestleMania 19 saw Brock Lesnar setting his sights on Kurt Angle's WWE Championship, after winning the 2003 Royal Rumble match. This was a match that many had been anticipating for a while, with both Lesnar and Angle having amateur wrestling backgrounds.

At WrestleMania 19, Lesnar defeated Angle in the main event. A botched Shooting Star Press resulted in Lesnar almost breaking his neck, and putting the main event in jeopardy. Thankfully, Lesnar managed to finish the match and the two Superstars embraced to end the historic show.
Angle was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017, and he wrestled his retirement match at WrestleMania 35 against King Corbin. Angle currently works as a backstage producer in WWE. Angle recently talked about taking the role of a producer, in an interview with BT Sport.
It’s good, I enjoy working with the talent, helping them structure their matches and giving feedback on the show. So it’s fun for what it is. For me, it’s challenging trying to help the talent put on the best matches they can, so it’s a very important part of the show.
#3 Roman Reigns
At WrestleMania 31, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns collided in the main event, but neither of the two left the arena with the WWE World title around their waist. Seth Rollins' shocking MITB cash-in resulted in The Architect leaving 'Mania with the title, in one of the most unexpected endings in the history of the show.
At WrestleMania 34, Reigns got another opportunity at Lesnar's Universal title. This time though, Lesnar was hell-bent on ending things as quickly as he could. The Beast delivered 6 thunderous F5's to The Big Dog, with the last one doing the trick and bagging the victory for Lesnar.

Reigns went on to defeat Lesnar at SummerSlam 2018 and win the Universal title. He later relinquished the same and left WWE to battle leukemia. Reigns made his triumphant return last year and defeated Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 35.
Currently, he is a mainstay on SmackDown Live and is rumored to be The Fiend's opponent at WrestleMania 36, with the sinister entity's Universal title on the line.
#2 Goldberg
At WrestleMania 20, Goldberg defeated Brock Lesnar in what many deemed as one of the worst matches in the show's history. Both Superstars left the company immediately after and it took Lesnar 8 years to make his return to WWE.
Goldberg followed Lesnar in 2016, and the two behemoths faced each other again at Survivor Series 2016. Goldberg squashed Lesnar in this bout, and went on to eliminate The Beast from the Royal Rumble match in a matter of seconds.

Goldberg later defeated Kevin Owens for the Universal title, and met Lesnar in a rubber match at WrestleMania 33. Lesnar finally managed to defeat Goldberg after hitting him with a devastating F5.
Goldberg left WWE after the loss, but came back last year to take on The Undertaker at WWE Super ShowDown. The former World Champion made another return months later, to squash Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam 2019. Goldberg hasn't been seen in the limelight for a while now, but recently hinted that he isn't done with wrestling.
It's by no means my farewell performance, nor was it my best performance, but you have to be realistic and take all things into consideration. It's a very good possibility I'll be back, but you don't know it until it's done.
#1 The Undertaker
Back when Brock Lesnar was a rookie in WWE, he dominated The Undertaker as no one had done before, and defeated The Deadman inside Hell In A Cell at No Mercy 2002. The same story followed at next year's edition of No Mercy, this time in a Biker Chain match.
Around two years after Lesnar's return in 2012, The Undertaker set his sights on Lesnar again and the two met at WrestleMania 20, in what will go down as one of the most shocking moments in WWE history.
Lesnar pinned The Undertaker in the middle of the ring, and ended his famed WrestleMania streak. This kicked off Lesnar's monstrous run in WWE, which included a SummerSlam 2014 squash against John Cena. Lesnar is still a major draw, and is carrying the WWE title at the moment.

The Undertaker, on the other hand, has slowly and steadily left the spotlight and wasn't a part of last year's WrestleMania. The Phenom makes it a point to compete in WWE's Saudi Arabia shows though, and we just might get to see him at the upcoming Super ShowDown event on February 27.
