#3 Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show (June 12, 2003)

Even the ring failed to contain the action between Lesnar and Big Show.

With Kurt Angle on the injured list and John Cena out of the title picture, babyface Lesnar's next title feud would be against The Big Show. 'The World's Largest Athlete' had already defeated Lesnar for the Title at Survivor Series 2002, so the feud made sense. Even though a violent Stretcher Match took place between the two at Judgement Day 2003, their rivalry would continue. The highlight of this program was the ending to their singles match on the June 12th, 2003 edition of SmackDown.

Readers may have already guessed where this is all leading. Toward the end of this match, Lesnar superplexed Big Show from the top rope and the entire ring collapsed. The match was called off right away. This moment is still talked about and often shown in various WWE packages and compilation videos. It has also been re-enacted by other Superstars, such as Mark Henry and Braun Strowman, but the original still remains untouchable.
