Brock Lesnar's 6 best World Title defenses

#5 & #4 Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins (Universal Title, WrestleMania 35 & SummerSlam 2019)

Seth Rollins has defeated Brock Lesnar 3 times for a World Title.

Seth Rollins seems to have Brock Lesnar's number. Lesnar has defended the championship against Rollins 3 different times, and Rollins has won every time. The first was when Rollins cashed in the Money in the Bank contract and stole the title at WrestleMania 31 (yes, he pinned Roman Reigns but still won the title that Lesnar was defending).

The next is one of the two in this entry and happened at WrestleMania 35. It was an insane spectacle. The match itself (bell-to-bell) was barely 2 and a half minutes long, but the men brawled around ringside for a good few minutes before making it into the ring for their actual title bout. The crowd was going insane, and Rollins did the nearly unthinkable when he beat Lesnar clean in the middle of the ring, something that was almost statistically impossible.

Roman Reigns is the only other guy to beat Lesnar one-on-one for the Universal Title, and it look him approximatey 75 tries. Rollins beat him for it twice... in the same year! Only two men have defeated Lesnar for a World Title since his return in 2012. Roman Reigns did it once and Seth Rollins did it twice.

His other 3 title losses (from August 2002 thru February 2004) came at the hands of The Big Show, Kurt Angle, and Eddie Guerrero. That's a pretty prestigious list, and of all those names, only Seth has been able to do it twice.

That brings us to the second match here, Rollins' Universal Title win at SummerSlam. This match was different from the WrestleMania contest, but not by much. Bell-to-bell it was almost 14 minutes long, so around 5 times as long as the WrestleMania contest, but the pace was absolutely out-of-control, with both men constantly moving, flying, throwing, jumping, kicking, suplexing, stomping -- you get it.

It was non-stop action and as intense of a match as you're going to get. Definitely a match worth checking out if you've never seen it.
