![The original Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H match was their best outing.](https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg?w=190 190w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg?w=720 720w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg?w=640 640w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/12/e23eb-15451943386245-800.jpg 1920w)
In 2012, Brock Lesnar was a pretty electric act having newly returned from his successful UFC run, which contributed to every match he had, feeling like a dream match because no one had expected to see him in a WWE ring again.
There was a risk of Lesnar losing steam when he dropped his first match back to John Cena. Still, he was a monster enough for his summer program with Triple H to feel special in its own right. The resulting match was a barn burner in the WWE main event style.
Best of all? It finished with Lesnar kayfabe breaking The Game’s arm and making him tap out to his kimura lock. The finish furthered Lesnar’s credibility in the moment and was satisfying to hardcore fans who wanted to see Helmsley lose.
While the rematches these two would have in 2013 were good, their 2012 encounter was the most satisfying outing, charged by a heated program leading up to it.
