Brock Lesnar began his WWE journey in 2000 and debuted in the main roster as part of RAW two years later. His first SummerSlam was also in 2002 against Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. The Beast Incarnate made sure to make it memorable by winning the WWE Undisputed Championship and being the youngest to do so at the time at only 25 years old.

He departed the Stamford-based promotion in 2004 but returned in 2012. For his second Premium Live Event after his comeback, he faced Triple H at SummerSlam. During the bout, Brock Lesnar "broke" The Game's arm. The following year, he defeated CM Punk in a No Disqualification match.

In 2014, The Beast defeated the face of the company, John Cena, for the World Heavyweight Championship. Although he wasn't successful the following year, his bout against The Undertaker is still hard to forget.

In 2016, Lesnar made headlines after he ended his match with Randy Orton in a bloody mess. The former UFC Champion delivered an array of elbows that caused The Viper to bleed, the moment even concerned Chris Jericho.

In 2017, he emerged victorious against Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, and Samoa Joe for the WWE Universal title. This marked the last time he won in SummerSlam. However, last year, he and Roman Reigns delivered a memorable match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, which involved the ring being lifted and an attempted cash-in from Austin Theory.
