#4 Lesnar vs John Cena (2014)

Brock Lesnar vs John Cena

This match was one of the most shocking in WWE history. Fresh after ending The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania 30, Brock Lesnar was entitled to an opportunity to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. That opportunity came at Summerslam when he was set to go one-on-one with John Cena.

The match was excellently built up to with a perfectly produced video package. Lesnar claimed that he would leave Cena in a pile of blood, urine and vomit. While none of that exactly happened, the Cenation leader was in for the ass-kicking of his life. After the death of the Streak, Brock Lesnar was heavily tipped to win the world title. But nobody expected this match play out in the way that it did.

Brock Lesnar hit an F5 within the first thirty seconds of the match. That is how dominant the Beast was during this match. He would go on to hit John Cena with sixteen German suplexes, sparking the inception of Suplex City. Cena would get the occasional move in, but it was Lesnar who dominated with full force.

Once Lesnar got out of the STF with ease and hit Cena with another F5, it was over. The destruction of John Cena had been complete. Nobody had ever seen him get beaten so badly before, that's what makes this one of Brock Lesnar's best performances since returning to WWE. He banished all the ghosts of Cena's victory at Extreme Rules 2012 in sixteen minutes.

This was unique and masterfully executed. The shocking visual of John Cena being completely brutalized in the middle of the ring was a sight to behold for older fans, while it was a nightmare for the younger ones. This was Lesnar at his best and most destructive self. He truly left Cena beaten, victimized and conquered.
