“My whole life I’ve been wearing a flat top, crew cut. In UFC I grew my beard out once. I said I’m gonna let it all go (once I left WWE). Last summer, before any of this evolved, it was so hot, I said ‘I’m gonna cut my hair,’ so my kids cut my hair. They said, ‘We’re going to give you a mohawk.’ Then they go, I bet you won’t wear a ponytail.’ I wasn’t gonna lose a bet to my kids. So, I wore this look. It wasn’t a mastermind (plan), it was a joke. Here I am. Brock Lesnar is a big ass joke,” said the WWE Champion.

Lesnar has been aired on WWE television on a routine basis since his return to SummerSlam 2021. On March 5, he will defend his WWE Championship at a live event in Madison Square Garden and is all set to compete in the biggest Wrestlemania match of all time against Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a Champion vs Champion winner takes all title unification match.
