Lesnar beating the ever loving crap out of Cena at Summerslam. For as much hate as he (rightfully) gets at times, JBL sold the ass kicking when after the second or so barrage of suplexes, he just mutters "jesus christ..." as Cena is laying there a crumpled mess Would have been considerably more effective if John hadn’t beaten Brock in Brock’s very first match back, which was what, less than six months earlier? Really took the shine off the beating to my mind. Their Extreme rules match was April of 2012. Their Summerslam rematch was August of 2014.

Vader vs. Sting, GAB '92. Vader was always presented as a monster up until he ran into Hogan. Unless he just totally sqaushed Sting,Him beating just about anyone shouldn't be surprising

Mark Henry beating Orton for the World title at I think Hell in the Cell. Henry was on fire at this point. Orton just looked totally outmatched at the end and Henry just stared Orton down and shook his head telling Orton he couldn't do it. One World's Strongest Slam later and Mark Henry was world champ.

First thing that came to mind was HHH beating Cactus Jack at Royal Rumble 2000. Cactus even had help from the Rock and couldn't beat him. I can't believe Hunter was only six months or so into his push by this point. It's mind-blowing. And he wins clean! You're completely right. Weird, weird shit. And then beat him in the Cell the month after too. Also, Flair didn't win the Rumble clean, depending on how you define clean.

Really took the shine off the beating to my mind. Their Extreme rules match was April of 2012. Their Summerslam rematch was August of 2014. And Heyman retconned that by saying Brock was still recuperating from diverticulitis. It was actually a pretty smart way to kayfabe the loss.

Koloff ending Bruno's near-eight year run as champ. No shenanigans and the end of an era.

This thread is LOADED with amazing answers. Each post, I'm all "Yeah...that's the best answer."
Then another post...and I'm all "Well, wait...maybe THAT'S the one."
f*** my original plans. I'm spending the night watching the Network.

Triple H beating Randy Orton at Royal Rumble 2005. Moments before the match Bischoff says Evolution is banned from ringside. Also despite a ref bump and pulling out the sledgehammer, Triple H never uses it and gets the clean win with a pedigree. Kinda sealed the fate on Ortons first babyface run.

Okay, here's a kind of forgotten one but Austin v Jericho v Benoit at King of the Ring 2001.
Austin's mind wasn't even fully on the match because Vince told him just before his entrance that he wouldn't be at ringside to help him. It was a triple threat so he didn't need to be pinned to lose the title. Jericho and Benoit, the babyfaces, straight up double teamed Austin for large periods of the match. Booker T ran in and put Austin through the announce table.
Despite all that, Austin still won clean.

Maybe doesn't stack up against these other answers, but Lashley beating Reigns at Extreme Rules 2018 was pretty amazing... to me.

Power and Glory at Summerslam 90 Other than the part where they attacked Michaels pre match, injuring his knee, thus fighting Jannetty 2 on 1, you're right.

Orton just looked totally outmatched at the end and Henry just stared Orton down and shook his head telling Orton he couldn't do it. One World's Strongest Slam later and Mark Henry was world champ. This was my immediate thought. Henry just shrugging off the RKO all "f*** your shit", not cocky, not gloating, just full on Bane-style "I'm going to break you and there's nothing you can do about it". I feel like Brock's entire tear through the roster in 2002 until he beats Rock clean has to be a contender. Dude arrived as a force of nature.
