One of the most dominant champions in the company's history, Brock Lesnar is the last of his breed. A former NCAA champion, Lesnar would become one of the biggest draws in MMA during his time in the UFC. Lesnar's aura and in-ring IQ are rarely seen in Superstars of this current generation. Lesnar brings an aura of unpredictability to his matches which makes them all the more exciting to watch. Brock Lesnar rarely ever loses in WWE

On the RAW after Royal Rumble 2019, Rollins would officially challenge Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35. Lesnar would lay Rollins out with a flurry of F5s, after a brief face-off between the duo. Rollins and Lesnar opened WrestleMania 35 in what seemed like a one-sided beatdown.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Before the bell even rang, Lesnar would attack Rollins and proceeded to beat down 'The Architect.' A couple of German Suplexes and F5s later, Lesnar was firmly in control of the match. As the bell rang, Lesnar picked up Rollins for an F5, but Rollins escaped, pushing 'The Beast' into the referee. Rollins would then low-blow Lesnar, while the referee was distracted and hit him with a Superkick and three consecutive Curb Stomps to win the Universal Championship. While the match wasn't anything special, the way it was laid out and the execution of it was perfect for Seth Rollins.

Lesnar would regain the Red Belt from Rollins after cashing his MITB contract at Extreme Rules. The duo would clash once again, this time in the main event of SummerSlam. Rollins and Lesnar would once again shock the WWE Universe by putting on one of the best matches of 2019. Rollins would pin Lesnar clean to become a two-time Universal Champion. This win also meant that Rollins joined an elite group of superstars who have beaten Lesnar twice, with the other two victors being WWE Hall of Famers Kurt Angle and Goldberg.

Even though Rollins is currently playing the 'Messiah' Gimmick from a heel standpoint, he has had some of his best moments as a fan favourite.
