“As surprised as anybody”: Former Champion reveals what he loves about the “new” Brock Lesnar

WWE Champion

Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant Superstar on the WWE roster today. He made a smashing return to the company in the final moments of Summerslam 2021. He kicked off a feud against the Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The plan was to have them collide in a trilogy of matches, which would conclude at Wrestlemania 38.

All didn’t go as per the plan and the Beast Incarnate ended up winning the WWE Championship at Day 1. He lost the title in less than a month to Bobby Lashley at Royal Rumble. He redeemed himself by winning the Men’s Royal Rumble match on the same night. He didn’t need to stay without a title for long.

The Beast Incarnate went on to win the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber. While such dominance isn’t rare to witness from him. But what has been surprising, is Brock Lesnar’s new, fun-loving, joke-cracking avatar. This has been a welcome change for the entire WWE Universe and they would definitely want this character to stay.

This character has been winning over the WWE Universe for over half an year now. One such really unique segment that he delivered was against former Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn. While this wasn’t a duo the fans would’ve imagined to ever see on screen together, they simply loved it. Recently in an interview with the New York Post, Zayn talked about his segments with Brock Lesnar.

“I enjoy the fact that my character was a very good foil to bring that out or Brock, I can’t take credit. Obviously, Brock was Brock. I was actually quite taken aback by his comedic timing and his sharpness and all that. I really didn’t expect it and I think very few people did because he’s been this destructor that had Heyman talk for him all these years. So I was as surprised as anybody,” mentioned Zayn.

Brock Lesnar is after Roman Reigns’ blood

The feud for the main event of Wrestlemania 38 really heated up after Roman Reigns attacked Brock Lesnar during the Madison Square Garden live event. He was left bloodied after the segment. Post this he came out announcing that “You don’t draw first blood on Brock Lesnar”. Since then he has been after the Universal Champion.

Over the last few episodes of Smackdown, Lesnar has been trying to get the best of Tribal Chief. He smashed a forklift in Reigns’ car, pick-axed it, broke a door and even smashed his entire locker room. But he is yet to get his hands on Reigns. Now things are all set to take an interesting turn, when they finally meet in the ring at the Showcase of Immortals.
