#4.) The Rock vs Brock Lesnar – 2002

The Rock vs Brock was a huge special attraction main event at SummerSlam 2002. Mind you, this was hardly over four months into Brock Lesnar’s WWE debut and he was tearing everybody apart. He won the King of the Ring tournament early on, earning a WWE title shot against then-champion The Rock.
