Brock Lesnar’s victory over John Cena at SummerSlam 2014 is widely regarded as one of the most dominant and one-sided matches in WWE history. During the match, Brock Lesnar showcased his incredible strength and brutality, dominating John Cena from the start. Lesnar delivered 16 German suplexes. The match concluded with Lesnar hitting the F-5, and pinning Cena to secure a decisive victory.
The outcome of the match surprised many fans and created a memorable and shocking moment in WWE history. Lesnar’s dominant performance established him as an unstoppable force and further solidified his reputation as “The Beast Incarnate.” While talking on the Notsam Wrestling recently, John Cena recalled getting squashed by Brock Lesnar and revealed the thought behind the idea.
“Brock is one of the most giving performers when it’s his time, and he will make anyone look great. But I remember Brock being like, ‘Hey you know, I had dinner with Steve Austin last night and we came up with this idea where I just start suplexing you and don’t stop. And then beat you.’ I said, ‘Yeah!’ He said, ‘What do you mean?’ I was like, ‘Well, we both collectively agreed that you just beat the (Undertaker’s) streak. We will ruin that if we have a 50-50 match,” Cena stated.
The 16-time WWE champion further admitted that it was not his night. And they had to showcase the enormity of Brock beating the streak and not waste Undertaker’s loss. So they couldn’t just go out there and have a 50-50 match. The Leader of the Cenation concluded by saying that this business is all about giving, working together, and making others instead of being selfish.
