In 2002, Brock Lesnar defeated The Rock to become the youngest WWE Champion in history.
One of the most memorable SummerSlam matches of recent years was the match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in 2018, which ended in a controversial finish. The match was heavily hyped as a showdown between two of the biggest stars in WWE, but the finish was met with booing from the crowd.
