#4.) Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe vs Braun Strowman – 2017

One of the most action-packed SummerSlam main events of all time saw Brock Lesnar defend the Universal Championship against three of the most dangerous competitors in WWE. Roman Reigns had taken Lesnar to his limit two years before at WrestleMania, Samoa Joe was seconds away from beating Lesnar a month prior and Braun Strowman was the only man who could make Brock Lesnar look like an underdog.

The stage was set and as it turned out, the night would really be a highlight reel for Braun Strowman, who manhandled Lesnar in a way that nobody had prior to that. Sending him through table after table, he topped it off by putting the table upside down on Lesnar, causing him to be stretchered away. He did later come back in the match and braved the injury to hit an F-5 on Roman Reigns and walk out still Universal Champion. It was another narrow escape for The Beast Incarnate.
