Two of the biggest superstars in the history of WWE!
The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar are the two biggest, most iconic, and very protective WWE Superstars in the history of the company. Throughout their career, they have been at the top of the mountain and have dominated their opponents.
These two have had an iconic rivalry among themselves as well, with The Beast famously breaking The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak of 21-0 at WrestleMania 30. They then went on to have a series of matches at SummerSlam 2015 and Hell in a Cell in the same year.
Brock Lesnar as of late has dominated the RAW main-event scene as he was the Universal Champion for the most period of time ever since WrestleMania 33. He recently lost to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35, losing his Universal Championship and putting over Rollins big-time. The win was so huge because we rarely see the Beast being pinned on WWE TV.
The same goes with The Undertaker, whom not many superstars can claim to have a victory against. Though his mystique was definitely hurt with his streak ending, he still is one of the most protected wrestlers in all of WWE.
But there are a few wrestlers who have done the unthinkable task of defeating both of these icons in a one-on-one match.
In this article, let's take a look at 3 WWE Superstars who have pinned both Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker. How many of them can you guess before reading the article?
#3 Kurt Angle
The Olympic gold medalist was the first to achieve this feat!
Kurt Angle, the Hall of Famer, is arguably one of the greatest technical wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring. During his run as the WWE Champion, Angle defended his championship against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2003.
In a match that saw Lesnar take out the referee, and Vince McMahon interfering to help Lesnar break the submission, the Olympic gold medalist overcame all the odds and made Brock Lesnar tap out to the Ankle lock, thus retaining his title.
The former RAW General Manager has also secured a win against The Undertaker. At No Way Out 2006, The Undertaker and Kurt Angle battled it out for the World Heavyweight Championship in a classic match that lasted nearly 30 minutes.
The end of the match saw Angle countering the Hell's Gate submission into a roll-up to win and retain his title. In what is considered one of the top matches of the Phenom's career, he hugged Angle after the match as a sign of respect.
#2 Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns was the one to end Lesnar's 504 days reign as the Universal Champion!
Number 2 on the list is none other than "The Big Dog" Roman Reigns, who many consider as Vince's new poster boy in WWE.
Roman Reigns has had quite a rivalry with Brock Lesnar. These two first clashed at WrestleMania 31 where Seth Rollins pulled off the "heist of the century". They later met at the main event of WrestleMania 34 that saw Lesnar pick up a shocking win against a bloodied Reigns.
After feuding with Lesnar for a long time, Reigns finally managed to defeat and pin him at SummerSlam 2018 to win the Universal Championship, albeit a little interference from the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.
As for his win over The Undertaker, that's something I'm pretty sure most of you remember. Roman is the only guy other than Brock Lesnar to have ever defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania. He pulled off this incredible feat in the main event of WrestleMania 33, which led to him becoming one of the most hated superstars in recent times.
With fans already complaining about Roman being pushed down their throat, Vince just took things to a whole new level by letting him pin The Undertaker clean at WrestleMania 33. The crowd's reaction to open RAW the next night was one of the loudest and longest ever in WWE history.
#1 Triple H
The Game is one of the biggest rivals of The Undertaker!
The third superstar to have defeated both Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker is the COO of WWE, Hall of Famer, the King of Kings, Triple H.
Triple H has faced the Undertaker thrice at WrestleMania but has never been able to defeat the Dead Man. But last year at the Super ShowDown PPV in Australia, Triple H pinned The Undertaker in their No Disqualification match, with some help from two of his best friends, Shawn Michaels, and the Sledgehammer.
He then also went on to defeat The Brothers of Destruction alongside Shawn Michaels as D-Generation X in his comeback match at the Crown Jewel PPV in Saudi Arabia.
As for Brock Lesnar, the Cerebral Assassin faced the Beast at WrestleMania 29 in a No Holds Barred match with Triple H's career on the line. In what was a grueling match, Triple H managed to pin the Beast after delivering a Pedigree to him on the steel steps.
