Before John Cena adopted his more colorful persona, he had a memorable clash with Brock Lesnar at Backlash in 2003. The match showcased two powerhouses at the peak of their physicality. Lesnar, with a bandage on his head, and Cena put on a display of high-impact moves that shook the ring and left Lesnar’s blood smeared across Cena’s face. The visual of blood mixing with sweat added to the brutality of the contest, and it’s here we saw the F5 and Attitude Adjustment side by side, with the F5 coming across as a more devastating maneuver.
