Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle

An epic WWE rivalry

The rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle was one of the most entertaining bouts in the WWE. These two guys faced for the first time at WrestleMania at WM-19 in a match for the WWE Championship where Lesnar was the challenger. The match had a stipulation that title can change hands even after a DQ or a count out, taking the Champion's advantage away from Angle.

Brock delivered a few F5s in the match and Angle applied the Angle Lock but the match never ended as the superstars showed their strength and resilience. At the end, Brock attempted a Shooting Star Press on Angle but couldn't complete it successfully as he suffered a neck injury and concussion. Still, Angle couldn't get the count of 3 and Brock quickly rose up and delivered an F5 for the win and was crowned the new WWE Champion.
