Webster, August 19, 2023 - Brock Lesnar is known as one of the most destructive opponents in WWE. Following his return in 2012, Lesnar quickly became one of the most popular wrestlers in the company. He has won the WWE Championship 7 times, the Universal Championship thrice, and more accolades. ##
Brock Lesnar's time as WWE Champion ended when he faced Drew McIntyre at the main event of WrestleMania 36 Part 2. The match was recorded on March 25–26 and shown on April 5. After this, Lesnar was absent from WWE until 2021. ##
Various sources later said that Lesnar's contract with WWE ended after the WrestleMania 36 match, making his situation uncertain. In March 2022, Lesnar personally said that he first retired from pro wrestling after WrestleMania 36. But he changed his mind and returned in 2021. ##
Lesnar, with a new cowboy/farmer appearance featuring a beard and ponytail, made his comeback at SummerSlam on August 21, 2021. This time, he appeared as a good guy (face) and confronted Universal Champion Roman Reigns right after Reigns had defended his title successfully against John Cena. ##
