Brock Lesnar has been the source of fan joy and ire over the years, but he has always gotten a reaction. Whether the fans were rooting for him to lose or chanting, 'Suplex City' at the top of their lungs, Brock always gave fans something to talk about. It's difficult to talk about the 2010s without talking about Brock Lesnar in some way.
After all these years, who got the best of WWE's resident special attraction? Brock's feuds can be categorized by how well booked they were, how good the matches were, and how impactful they were. So let's go through the major rivalries of Brock Lesnar and find out which one is the best.
10 Dean Ambrose
When people saw Dean refuse to back down against Brock Lesnar, people wanted to see the Lunatic Fringe against Brock at WrestleMania 32. Brock had his peak powers and credibility at the time, and Dean was a crazy brawler.
Their Street Fight should have been epic. However, the match severely undelivered. According to Dean Ambrose, this was because of Brock's laziness. Dean had a bunch of ideas, but Brock didn't want to do anything special, and the result was the match ended up being below average.
9 Bobby Lashley
The Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley feud was a dream for many that definitely didn't live up to expectations. One reason the rivalry felt short is because it could have been an excellent non-title WrestleMania feud, but it happened at Royal Rumble instead, with the championship on the line.
Even then, it could have been higher on this list if it had been booked better. Bobby was made to look as weak as possible during the build, as Brock was looking past Bobby at Roman. The match was below-expectations, as Brock mostly dominated. However, Bobby won thanks to Roman's interference, making Bobby look even weaker. The only saving grace of this feud was that Bobby beat Brock for the WWE Championship. However, he did lose it back to Lesnar at Elimination Chamber
8 Drew McIntyre
Drew and Brock didn't have a lofty build to their WrestleMania 36 match, but it was good enough. Brock entered the Royal Rumble that year as WWE Champion, and he eliminated thirteen different wrestlers until Drew arrived and eliminated Brock. WWE did a good job making Drew feels like a big deal in the build to WrestleMania 36.
Brock and Drew even had a good match where Drew went over and won the title. However, this ranks low on the list because there were no fans which made this match and feud more forgettable than it should be.
7 Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have been feuding since 2015. That's not even the crazy part; the crazy part is that they only really had two great matches. Their first match was their best. We would probably consider it a classic if they had just let Roman win. The second was their Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam 2022.
Every other match has some flaw, like a screwy finish (Saudi Arabia), a bad finish (WrestleMania 34), or it under-delivered (WrestleMania 38). Roman and Brock keep being thrown at each other, but they do better work away from each other.
6 Triple H
This is one of Brock Lesnar's first feuds after returning to the WWE. Triple H was part of The Authority at the time, and he had the might of being Triple H and corporate untouchability. He was a force to be reckoned with, and he could beat most people up and ruin anyone's career.
Brock established himself as an entirely different beast when he broke Triple H's arm, and the WWE locker room had to save Triple H. Brock was such a domineering presence that Triple H was able to work babyface during the feud. The only reason this feud is on the lower half of the list is that Triple H won their blowoff match, which was a mistake.
5 CM Punk
Before Paul Heyman betrayed Brock Lesnar for Roman Reigns, he crossed CM Punk for Brock. CM Punk wanted revenge on Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar. This led to a match at the 2013 SummerSlam, which still stands as one of Brock's best matches in WWE. CM Punk ultimately lost, which was the right choice, but he looked terrific as well.
Punk went toe-to-toe with Brock and had a realistic shot at beating him, which always makes for the best Brock matches.
4 Seth Rollins
Roman's feud with Brock often overshadows Seth Rollin's feud with Brock. However, Seth had the better feud. Seth stole the title away from Brock in the Heist of the Century, and he had the phenomenal triple threat with Brock and Cena at Royal Rumble. In 2019 when Brock came for Seth Rollins, he delivered again.
Rollins put on a gutsy performance in the opening match of WrestleMania 35, where he beat Lesnar for the Universal Championship. Seth and Brock even topped themselves at SummerSlam 2019, where a heavily injured Rollins found a way to beat The Beast clean.
3 The Undertaker
The Undertaker and Brock definitely had a great feud. Their characters played each other perfectly. Undertaker represented the might of the darkness and the supernatural, and Brock was like the might of man at peak strength. It was like watching Superman and Lex Luthor. Brock controversially ended the Undertaker's Streak at WrestleMania 30.
They then had a classic follow-up match at SummerSlam that was better in quality and build than their WrestleMania match. Then they had an excellent blow-off match in Hell in the Cell, with Lesnar coming out on top and having the run of a lifetime.
2 Goldberg
Goldberg and Lesnar should have been a classic in the early 2000s, but their leaked exits ruined that match. They completely redeemed themselves in the next decade. Goldberg returned and squashed Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016. That was an incredible moment, and everybody was talking about it. It was the perfect way to set up their WrestleMania 33 match.
The match arguably didn't need the Universal Championship, but other than that, it was perfect. Two behemoths just destroying each other until one couldn't get up. It was like an action movie, and Brock got his win back.
1 John Cena
When Brock initially came back, it was John Cena who made Brock look dangerous. Brock came back and busted the lip of the Face That Runs The Place in the PG no-blood era. John was the best WWE had to offer at the time, and if he was no match for Brock, who was? Brock made Cena a believable underdog post-Super Cena era.
While Lesnar losing in his first match back at Extreme Rules was the wrong call, Cena paid Brock back in full by taking not just one of his biggest losses but one of the biggest losses in history. Cena was victimized at SummerSlam 2014, and Brock became a megastar. Plus, there was the Night of Champions match and the classic triple threat Royal Rumble match in 2015. Cena is easily Lesnar's best opponent since his return.
