#7 Brock Lesnar vs John Cena (2014)

Lesnar vs Cena

This match was one of the most shocking, but fresh outcome, in WWE history. Brock Lesnar had ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak at WrestleMania XXX and was entitled to a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Original plans saw Daniel Bryan being the one to enter the war zone with the Beast, but injuries forced WWE to put the belt on 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 beating of a lifetime. Dubbed as the Biggest Fight of the Summer, this was one of the most hotly anticipated matches on this list. And it would not disappoint one bit.

What we saw was the ultimate destruction of WWE's resident Superman, in around sixteen minutes. Lesnar hit the F5 within 30 seconds of the match and would go on to dominate the Champ in one of the most one-sided World Title matches in WWE history. The Beast hit an unprecedented 16 German Suplexes en-route to an unbelievably satisfying and convincing victory.

Nobody had ever seen Cena get beaten so badly before, that's what makes this one of the most unique matches in WWE history. 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 Brock Lesnar at his best and most destructive self. He truly left Cena beaten, victimized and conquered.
