He's had some classics and he has had some stinkers too.
I've listed what I consider the best matches he's had. What's the best one?

The most memorable is either the Cena squash or breaking the streak, but I wouldn't qualify either as a great match. However, as fun as it was to see the Punk, Bryan, Styles, and multi man matches, I think the big moments should take the vote. It like how Hogan/Andre isn't that great of a match, but is still iconic for a good reason.

When he completely murked Cena and founded suplex city... I just can't remember which match that was
I, without hyperbole, had never seen Cena manhandled like that before. And it was glorious

I was very partial to the Finn match.

The Cena squash was the most entertaining, but I don't think Lesnar's had an outright good match since he left the first time at Wrestlemania XX.

Cena Rollins triple threat. One of my faves by anyone in the last 10 years.

Punk Rollins/Cena Bryan Balor Styles
In that order.
The Cena squash was less match and more spectacle.

The Summerslam 2014 murder of John Cena was probably the last time a WWE main event felt like a legit moment, rather than one of the manufactured hashtag-ready "moments" they bombard us with these days. The matches with Punk, AJ, Bryan, Finn and even the Rumble triple-threat were better from workrate standpoints. But Brock literally laughing off Cena's attempts at offense, squashing him like a damn bug, while that lone child in the crowd kept trying to will Cena on, gave the whole thing a surreal "is this really happening?" atmosphere that no other Brock match has replicated.

It was crazy. Imagine that happening to Austin, Rock or Hulk in their time?

imo, vs Punk and it a'int even close. I will also go on to say that it was better than Cena/Bryan on the same show.

I think the (somewhat understandable) vitriol surrounding his long, never-ending stint as an absent champion has really masked the fact that he's had a lot of great matches and moments. He's also never been able to escape the "he really just hates pro wrestling" stigma he earned over a decade ago.

I’m torn between a couple TBH.
But match-match, and not attraction type matches (of good ones he’s had..) gotta give it to his match with Styles.

I went with Styles, which was my favorite match that year, despite how short it was. My #2 is a match that has no votes as I write this, vs. Reigns at WM 31. That's the one where Rollins cashed in and made it a 3-way. It was a great surprise ending, but even before Rollins arrived, that was a really good hoss match. It's a shame every Reigns/Lesnar match since then has been crap.

Brock is someone who consistently ranks among my best workers in WWE. Seth Rollins may be better night to night but Brock’s best is better. I had the triple threat match with Cena and Rollins as my MOTY.

It’s not really a match, more two monsters spamming their biggest moves but his Mania match with Goldberg was so damn entertaining.

That first Cena match is still my favorite I'd say. The only ones that come close are the Bryan and Styles matches but the issue with those is that I didn't think they sold the idea that Lesnar could be beaten better. With the Cena match, Lesnar lost and yet Cena barely won. It was anyone's match and it luckily went Cena's way.

Punk by a lot. Styles & Bryan in the conversation.
