Lesnar pinned CM Punk after an F5 onto a steel chair

It was the match that was dubbed the beast vs the beast and it certainly lived up to every expectation.

It is another mach that showed Brock Lesnar's ability to wrestle against stars with a very different skill-set to his own. Punk as the underdog, was on the back foot for the majority of the match, and Lesnar showed his ruthless side by countering everything Punk could throw at him.

The intense back and forth nature of this match made it a thrilling encounter, Lesnar getting Punk in an arm bar looked like it could legitimately break Punk's arm, but it was reversed into a triangle, Lesnar's impressive power was too much however, he picked up Punk and slammed him.

Much like Lesnar's matches with other smaller opponents, the match was built around the underdog Punk capitalising on mistakes made by 'the beast incarnate'. Also, being a no disqualification match the use of a chair by Punk was an equaliser and had Lesnar reeling.

It was a classic match with the smaller man surviving against all odds, Lesnar was the perfect dominating big guy whose dominance made him the perfect foil for Punk as the popular underdog. It was a thrilling match and had WWE fans on the edge of their seats.
