#3 Lesnar vs Samoa Joe vs Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman (2017)

Braun Strowman vs Samoa Joe vs Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar

Last year's SummerSlam main event was a highly impressive effort from four of the best heavyweights in the WWE. The all-action style was a major hit with the Brooklyn crowd. This was back during the days when Brock Lesnar's title reign was still somewhat bearable and the Universal Championship actually had some meaning. Now, that title is a joke.

WWE could always redeem the big red belt by having similar matches to this all-out slugfest. All three challengers in this match would have separate matches against Lesnar for the Universal Championship, but none of them was anywhere as good as this combined effort.

After the Great Balls Of Fire pay-per-view, where Strowman outsmarted Reigns but got brutally assaulted for it, and Lesnar beat Joe in a short but impactful main event, all four men would end up duking it out.

The action was brutal, intense and pulsating. We saw chairs being flown, barricades being broken and tables being destroyed. Braun Strowman went on a mid-match tear as he put the Universal champion through two announce tables and dumped the third one onto him. Meanwhile, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns also put in good shifts.

Lesnar was taken out of the match but returned to cause some more pain. He ended up retaining his title, much to the disappointment of the fans in Brooklyn and elsewhere. But the match was so good, that the result did not matter. We saw four monsters cause a hell of a lot of carnage in New York City.

The rest of his reign might have ruined the credibility of the Universal Championship and blazed it into irrelevance, but this brawl between the four badasses should live long in the memories as an excellent four-way match.
