2) Lesnar Defeats The Rock
As I discussed earlier in this article, Lesnar winning the King of the Ring had huge significance. Winning the tournament would put Lesnar in the main event match at SummerSlam, taking on one of the WWE’s greatest stars of all time, The Rock. Lesnar would go on to to win the match capturing his first ever WWE Championship at the age of 25. Lesnar would also set a record becoming the second fastest wrestler to win the title since his debut at 126 days. Only Ric Flair has done better than Lesnar winning the Championship in 113 days. Lesnar’s victory against The Rock cemented Lesnar’s legacy as a top dog early on in his career.
