Brock Lesnar, known as “The Beast Incarnate,” is one of the most dominant and polarizing figures in professional wrestling. He made his debut in WWE in 2002 and quickly made an impact with his incredible strength, athleticism, and intensity.

The Beast’s Reign

Lesnar’s first stint in WWE lasted until 2004 when he decided to pursue a career in the NFL.

However, he chose a different path and signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and later joined the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, UFC.

Lesnar’s time away from WWE only added to his mystique. Fans wondered if they would ever see him step foot inside a WWE ring again. Their questions were answered on April 2, 2012, when Lesnar made a shocking return on the Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania XXVIII.

This marked the beginning of Lesnar’s second run with WWE. From that moment forward, he became a force to be reckoned with once again.

Championship Reigns

During his second stint in WWE, Lesnar accomplished numerous feats and won several championships. One of his most notable achievements came at SummerSlam 2014 when he defeated John Cena to capture the coveted WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Lesnar’s championship reigns were characterized by his dominant and destructive nature. He was a physical specimen who decimated opponents with his signature moves like the German suplex and the F-5.

The Beast Conquers The Streak

One of Lesnar’s most memorable moments in WWE came at WrestleMania XXX in 2014 when he faced The Undertaker. The Undertaker had an undefeated streak at WrestleMania, standing at 21-0. However, Lesnar shocked the world by defeating The Deadman, ending the unparalleled streak.
