WWE SummerSlam: Brock Lesnar's crazy spot with Paul Heyman

It’s a move we’ve all seen a thousand times before and yet it still holds a special place in all wrestling fans’ hearts.

When Brock Lesnar picked up Paul Heyman in a fireman’s carry, everyone inside the Nissan Stadium knew what was coming next.

The Special Counsel for Roman Reigns had been begging Lesnar to end his attack on the Samoan when he was effortlessly lifted then twisted and slammed down through the commentary table in the devastatingly fluid manner unique to Lesnar. Clearly the F-5 knows no mercy…

Finishing a 56-year-old administrator is one thing, but defeating the reigning WWE Universal Champion is quite another as Lesnar was soon to discover.

The former UFC star Lesnar arrived to the ring in a tractor and immediately set about ploughing his opponent with a flurry of early moves. Diving off the tractor and onto Reigns set the tone early in the bout and Lesnar continued to be the aggressor, dishing out a belly-to-belly suplex and German suplex as his opponent seemed too stunned to reply.

This all changed when Heyman was brought out to distract Lesnar, and whilst he would pay for this bold – or foolish, depending on your perspective – move later in the contest, it did allow Reigns to get a foothold in the bout. Reigns put Lesnar through a table and followed up the move with two Superman punches which seemed to do little to The Beast Incarnate.

Following some showmanship involving the tractor to fire up the Nashville crowd, Lesnar hit Reigns with a sequence of German suplexes and an F-5 attempt which couldn’t quite reach the 10-count.

Lesnar soon realised that performing an F-5 on Reigns was a very
