10 Most Violent Moments Of Brock Lesnar's WWE Career

Brock Lesnar is a fantastic athlete and someone who can perform amazing feats inside the ring, particularly for a man of his size. However, his strength and power are something that has always made the Beast stand out which is something that he's tapped into over the years, which has been enhanced by WWE's booking.

The company has often put Lesnar into some truly violent situations where he has been able to aggressively dominate his opponents. It has often caught the attention of an audience and helped to make Lesnar an even bigger threat, whether it is him using weapons or his own bare hands, Lesnar has had some truly violent displays that people won't forget.

10 Attacking Spike Dudley (Raw, 3/18/2002)

When Brock Lesnar made his debut in WWE he did so with a bang, showcasing his violent side immediately. The Beast hit the ring and attacked everyone in sight, launching wrestlers around like they weighed nothing. However, it was when he got his hands on Spike Dudley that the violence stepped up.

Lesnar didn't need any weapons here to make an impact, instead, he caught Dudley in mid-air and dropped him with a lethal clothesline. That was then followed by countless powerbombs that dropped Dudley with real impact, with each one getting an increasing response from the crowd.

9 Suplex City Vs. John Cena (SummerSlam, 2014)

Brock Lesnar's match against John Cena at SummerSlam in 2014 was one of the most shocking in WWE history, purely because of how one-sided it was. This ended up being a very violent situation simply due to the fact Lesnar spent the entire match rag-dolling Cena around the ring.

This was the famous night that Suplex City was born as Lesnar threw Cena onto his neck an unforgettable 16 times. The reason this was such an impressive violent display was the fact Cena was on the receiving end of it, as nobody had ever seen him dominate in such a way.

8 Hulk Hogan Gets Caught In A Bloody Bearhug (SmackDown, 8/8/02)

WWE wasted no time in pushing Brock Lesnar when he first arrived in WWE, and that included him getting to compete against Hulk Hogan. However, rather than just competing against a legend like Hogan, Lesnar added his own violent touch to the proceedings.

Lesnar gripped Hogan in a bear hug, which is often a rather forgettable submission move when most people apply it. However, Lesnar's was so powerful and tight that it led to Hogan spitting up blood which created a great visual.

7 Throwing Matt Hardy Through A Wall (SmackDown, 11/21/02)

Backstage segments often bring plenty of crazy moments, particularly when it comes to backstage brawls. That was the case when Brock Lesnar and Matt Hardy ended up in a confrontation in 2002 on an episode of SmackDown.

Lesnar wasted no time in showcasing his physical dominance by pinning Hardy up against the wall. That was then followed by him throwing Hardy into the opposite wall, using so much power that Hardy went crashing through into the other room.

6 Breaking Hardcore Holly's Neck (SmackDown, 9/12/02)

Injuries take place inside the wrestling ring as this is ultimately a dangerous business, and that became clear when Brock Lesnar faced Hardcore Holly on SmackDown. Lesnar hit his traditional powerbomb that was a big part of his arsenal back then, but things didn't go to plan.

Holly landed wrong and it led to him unfortunately breaking his neck, showcasing the sheer power that Lesnar commanded. While it was an accident, it was one of his most violent moments from a legitimate standpoint.

5 Destroying The Undertaker (No Mercy, 2002)

Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker have had many iconic matches throughout the years as the two men have been bitter rivals inside the ring. However, their Hell In A Cell match at No Mercy in 2002 was certainly the most bloody and violent, with the Beast holding nothing back in this one.

Undertaker was already heading into it with a cast on his hand, which gave Lesnar something to aim at as he wound up a chair to attack the injury. But he didn't stop there as he brutalized Undertaker in a truly violent display of dominance.

4 Brutalizing Spanky (SmackDown, 8/14/03)

Brock Lesnar often works brilliantly with smaller wrestlers, especially those who can bump well for him. That was the case with Spanky, who is best known as Brian Kendrick. The two men competed in a one-sided match that saw Lesnar completely brutalize him in the most aggressive manner possible.

Lesnar delivered some unforgettable chair shots that rang around the arena, but they weren't even the most memorable part. That was when he just launched Spanky into the ring post, back-first in a truly crazy bump.

3 Zack Gowen's Destruction (SmackDown, 8/19/03)

Giving Brock Lesnar a chair is something that always brings a little extra violence, but that was increased back when hitting others in the head was allowed. That led to an insane moment of violence when Lesnar competed against Zach Gowen, which led to a brutal moment outside the ring.

The two brawled out of the ring when the Beast grabbed a chair and unloaded one of the most lethal chair shots in WWE history. It left Gowen a bloody mess with the situation taking place right in front of Gowen's mother to add to the drama of the situation.

2 Going Extreme (Extreme Rules, 2012)

When Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE he was booked in a manner that produced far more violence and aggression than WWE's PG product did at the time. That was clear when he competed against John Cena at Extreme Rules and wasted no time at all in busting him open with some ground and pound.

He then used a variety of weapons to completely dominate Cena throughout the night, leaving him a bloody mess. It was a visual that nobody expected to see and is something that instantly got the attention back to him.

1 Busting Randy Orton Open (SummerSlam, 2016)

Arguably the most violent moment of Brock Lesnar's career took place when he assaulted Randy Orton in the middle of the ring at SummerSlam. It was a truly shocking scene, particularly for the PG world of WWE as Lesnar used legitimate elbow strikes to the head of Orton to completely bust him open.

The fact that WWE decided to book this was crazy, as Lesnar had to hammer down elbow strikes to make Orton bleed in this situation. It was shocking to watch and the fact it led to a concussion and a backstage fight with Chris Jericho who bought thought it was a real fight proved just how serious it was to watch.
