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.
He then came back on this past week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, where he destroyed Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory.
Foley spoke on his FOLEY is POD podcast about a recent conversation Lesnar had with McIntyre during a plane ride. He revealed how Lesnar told the two-time WWE Champion to limit the amount of damage he allowed opponents to inflict on him in matches:
“He brought up that when he and Brock first got together, Brock was like – and this shows you the wisdom of Brock Lesnar – he was like, ‘You have to stop bumping for everyone,'” Foley said. “Because you get caught up in that idea of having a great match every time, and you forget that you’re trying to build a character at the same time.”
