The former UFC Heavyweight Champion’s title victories in WWE spread across several years. Since he has won them 7 times, he has also lost them an equal number of times. The first time that he lost his WWE Championship was back in 2002. Lesnar was battling The Big Show at Survivor Series ’02 when he had to let go of his title. After that, he gained it back. However, Kurt Angle swooped in and Lesnar lost his gold to him at Vengeance ’03 in a Triple Threat match including The Big Show.

His third reign came to an end at No Way Out in 2004 when he lost to the legendary Eddie Guerrero. That same year, he abruptly left the Stamford-based company to utilize his professional freedom on his own. Years after his return, he finally acquired the World Title again, only to lose it to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31. Drew McIntyre also defeated Lesnar for the same in 2020 at WrestleMania 36.
