He made his debut on television in 2002, quickly ascending to the top of the card, winning the King of the Ring and defeating The Rock for his first WWE World Title at SummerSlam.
Along with his championship accolades, Lesnar was the man who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania in 2014.
