#6 Seth Rollins defeats Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship (SummerSlam)

The one night in August when Seth Rollins got cheered.
The one night in August when Seth Rollins got cheered.

Seth Rollins initially defeated Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship in the WrestleMania opener, following a quick match. That moment just missed out on the top ten, but the next one was much better. Following a difficult few months for Rollins, he was tasked with marching into SummerSlam to face the Beast Incarnate, who had just cashed in on him a month earlier at Extreme Rules.

Everything was against Rollins and even the most avid of Lesnar haters were not so keen on seeing the Architect with the big red belt again. One could even say that the Universe was against Seth Rollins.

However, he marched into SummerSlam with a huge chip on his shoulder and ready to fight within an inch of his life against Lesnar. Rollins put on an absolute clinic and persevered, to eventually put the Beast down. It was an incredible match and Rollins did such an amazing job. Hence, he was unanimously cheered when he finally picked up the big victory.

This moment would be looked back upon so much better had WWE not botched the Beastslayer's ensuing run with the title. The entire fiasco with the Fiend left a very sour taste in the fan's mouths for Rollins. But let us not forget the incredible night he had at SummerSlam.
