The match between Eddie Guerrero and Brock Lesnar on WWE SmackDown (November 7, 2002) continued the theme of smaller, more cunning challengers testing the dominance of the Undisputed WWE Champion. Brock Lesnar once again relied on his overwhelming strength and power, controlling large portions of the match by throwing Eddie around the ring and using punishing slams and suplexes to wear him down. Eddie Guerrero, staying true to his “Lie, Cheat, and Steal” persona, tried to survive by using speed, quick counters, and underhanded tactics to frustrate the champion and create openings. Guerrero briefly gained momentum with his technical skill and high-flying offense, but any sustained comeback was quickly shut down by Lesnar’s raw athleticism. In the end, Lesnar’s power proved decisive as he caught Eddie and delivered the F-5 to secure the win. The match further established Lesnar as an unstoppable champion while also showcasing Eddie Guerrero’s toughness and cleverness, reinforcing his role as a dangerous underdog who could challenge anyone despite being physically outmatched.
