#5 Brock Lesnar convinces Vince McMahon to let Goldberg beat him
At Survivor Series 2016, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg faced off in one of the biggest matches of the year. This was a bout that was 12 years in the making. To the absolute surprise of the WWE Universe, Goldberg ended Lesnar in mere minutes. In reality, it was Brock Lesnar himself who managed to convince Vince McMahon to let Goldberg beat him.
The original plan for the match was to let Brock avenge his WrestleMania 20 loss to Goldberg, as this was only going to be a one-match deal for the WWE Hall of Famer. The Beast somehow managed to change Vince McMahon's decision. The rivalry continued beyond Survivor Series, and saw Lesnar being eliminated by Goldberg in the Royal Rumble match. The feud finally came to an end at WrestleMania 33, where the two behemoths competed for Goldberg's Universal title. Lesnar finished off Goldberg in a matter of minutes to win the belt.
