Several fans would simply agree that Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant pro wrestlers to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. He had two terrific runs in WWE, both of which saw him winning major World Titles and being a huge draw for fans. Brock Lesnar was not seen on WWE television ever since he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 back in 2020. Brock Lesnar was also previously called out by a Superstar from Monday Night RAW.
After being away from WWE television for over a year, Brock Lesnar made his return at WWE SummerSlam in 2021, immediately setting his sights set on Roman Reigns. He also sported a ponytail, which was completely different from what fans were used to seeing him in.
Lesnar won the WWE Championship after defeating Big E, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and Bobby Lashley in a Fatal Five-Way match at WWE Day 1. However, he would lose the title to Bobby Lashley after Roman Reigns interfered in the match thanks to Paul Heyman turning on The Beast Incarnate. After a hiatus, Lesnar came back and attacked Roman Reigns again.
He challenged Roman Reigns for his titles at WWE SummerSlam. It featured The Beast Incarnate using a tractor to destroy the ring as well. He came back and started feuding with Bobby Lashley on Monday Night RAW. He ended up beating Lashley at Crown Jewel as well.
On the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, Vince Russo recalled how he had no idea that Lesnar was the man he spoke to. Shortly after the conversation, then-TNA star Kurt Angle informed the he that he had upset Brock Lesnar:
“I get a call from Kurt Angle,” Russo said. “And Kurt said to me, ‘Vince, what did you do?’ And I’m like, ‘Kurt, what are you talking about what did you do?’ ‘What did you say to Brock Lesnar?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ He goes, ‘Vince, this guy wants to kill you. You call him to speak to Rena [Sable’s real name], you don’t introduce yourself to him, you don’t have a conversation with him, and he says you totally disrespected him and now he wants to kill you.'”
