7. Braun Strowman vs. Samoa Joe vs. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar, SummerSlam 2017

SummerSlam 2017 featured a

big time

main event.

SummerSlam 2017 saw Brock Lesnar walk in in the familiar role as champion, but also the completely fresh role of underdog. The build to SummerSlam had seen him get terrorized by Samoa Joe as a vicious, underhanded challenger. Meanwhile, Lesnar also appeared overmatched relative to Braun Strowman—that rare Superstar who was visibly bigger and stronger than The Beast Incarnate.

This Fatal Fourway match was every bit the smash mouth hoss war fans would have hoped for with four monsters taking one another apart with heavy artillery offense. Lesnar got to play the victim in going through an announce table, and play superhuman coming from the biggest bump of the match to still have enough to steal the pin and retain his title. The match was entertaining in its own right, but also terrific for its storyline implications. The build kept Joe relevant as a fringe main event threat and positioned Reigns as a clear face and main eventer in his own right. Meanwhile, the foundation was set up for Strowman to carry forward as Lesnar’s most imposing challenger.
