Without a doubt, Brock Lesnar is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world of professional wrestling. He is known for his work in promotions such as WWE, UFC, and NJPW. Lesnar is regarded as one of the most prolific athletes in the world, having won every major championship in WWE, UFC, NJPW, and NCAA.

In a recent tweet, WWE on BT Sport dubbed Brock Lesnar as “The greatest combat athlete to ever walk the earth“. And rightfully so. Lesnar first joined the WWE promotion in 2002, where he was set up to be a big player. He challenged and defeated powerhouses like The Big Show and The Rock. The Beast also won the WWE Championship at the age of 25, thus setting the record for the youngest performer to win the championship.

He quit WWE two years later, following a humiliation at WrestleMania 20 at the hands of Goldberg. Brock went on to other promotions, like the UFC, where he won the UFC Heavyweight Championship. He held on to the title for a total of more than 700 days. Brock later returned to WWE in 2012.

Brock Lesnar has accomplished a lot in WWE. He has won the Royal Rumble match twice, the Money In The Bank ladder match, and the King of the Ring tournament, and has headlined WrestleMania 5 times. He also famously ended The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak at 21-1.

In the tweet where WWE declared Brock as “The greatest athlete”, they also warned Omos, who Brock is currently set to face at The Showcase of The Immortals, that he is coming for him. This was an excellent move on WWE’s part to hype up Brock as a bigger threat to Omos. Brock Lesnar and Omos have been feuding since MVP presented the challenge to Brock a few weeks ago. He accepted the challenge and hit MVP with the F5 for good measure. This match had only a few weeks of build-up and is already one of the most anticipated matches of WrestleMania 39.

On the March 13th edition of Monday Night Raw, Omos and Brock had a confrontation in the ring, where Omos displayed his monster-like strength by throwing him out of the ring. Throwing Brock around like a ragdoll is a feat that only a handful of superstars have been able to perform. Omos is shaping up to be a pretty big threat to Brock these past few weeks.

Omos and Brock Lesnar are set to confront each other on the go-home episode of RAW. It will be a spectacle to watch the two behemoths collide at The Grandest Stage of Them All on April 1. Stay tuned to find out who emerges victorious.
