The Rock Remembers “SummerSlam” Loss to Brock Lesnar

WWE “SummerSlam” 2002 was a historic night, as Brock Lesnar became the youngest WWE Undisputed Champion in company history when he defeated The Rock cleanly in the center of the ring.

Aug. 25 marks the 13th anniversary of that epic confrontation, with WWE acknowledging the title bout on social media:

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been a huge supporter of “The Beast Incarnate” over the years, showing some love for the masterpiece they created on Twitter Tuesday morning:

We poured blood & sweat around the world together. The fun we had. Pleasure "Doin' the honors" for my boy & the biz. https://t.co/S4R0WguSO9

Rumors have circulated over Lesnar and Rock having a long-anticipated rematch at WrestleMania 32 next year, which Johnson discussed in an interview with Fox 7’s Chris Van Vilet back in March.

“In Dallas? Possibly. There’s a lot of things that are up in the air. We’ll see. I would love that rematch. Whatever it is I think that you want to create something that is going to be special, memorable and especially in Dallas at that stadium and you have a shot at breaking the attendance record. It’s gotta be special.”

Editor’s Note

It’s crazy how time flies by. Lesnar vs. Rock feels like it was yesterday. I wouldn’t be opposed to a WrestleMania 32 match between the two at all.
