The Era of the Beast
It's easy to coast to victory when you're dealt a good hand. What determines a true champion is how a Superstar reacts when his back is to the wall.
And despite being accused of not defending his belt regularly, being a part-timer, not putting in enough effort into his matches...Brock Lesnar came out swinging at SummerSlam and answered all of his critics.
Will John Cena beat Ric Flair's record? A former WCW Champion thinks so HERE
He was put through two tables, speared through the barricade, had a table turned over on him and at a point during the match, also loaded up on a stretcher to be rushed away for medical attention.
But despite all of this, Brock Lesnar came bounding the ramp - visibly shaken - and landed a nasty F5 on Roman Reigns to defend his Universal Title.
For everyone who thought that Brock Lesnar would lose the match and traipse off to the UFC to fight Jon Jones, SummerSlam was a wake-up call.
This is the era of the Beast. And it continues on Monday Night Raw.
