5 Funniest Brock Lesnar moments in WWE

Brock Lesnar produced one of the biggest WWE surprises of 2019 so far when he won the men’s Money In The Bank ladder match, despite not being an official entrant.

The match was originally supposed to feature Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Sami Zayn, Ali, Andrade, Finn Balor, and Randy Orton. However, Zayn was found dangling upside down by his feet in the backstage area earlier in the night, so only seven men participated in the main event.

That was, of course, until Lesnar showed up just when it looked as though Ali was set to unhook the briefcase. The former Universal champion quickly took out the SmackDown Live star before grabbing the briefcase to become “Mr. Money In The Bank” for the first time in his career.

The following night on Raw, Lesnar teased that he could cash in his contract on either Universal champion Seth Rollins or WWE champion Kofi Kingston, but fans on social media were more interested in his unique entrance rather than what Paul Heyman had to say.

Instead of his usual stern face and menacing pose, Lesnar decided to have some fun following his Money In The Bank triumph by holding his ear close to the briefcase and treating it like a boombox.

With this week's hilarious antics in mind, let’s take a look at five occasions when the former UFC fighter proved to the WWE audience that there is a lighter side to his beastly character.

#5 Jamming out to his entrance music

You only need to have scrolled down your Twitter timeline a couple of times after the May 20 episode of Raw to spot somebody tweeting a remix of Brock Lesnar jamming out to the Money In The Bank briefcase.

Fans have become accustomed to seeing “The Beast” and his advocate, Paul Heyman, do the same shtick every time they appear on Raw, with Heyman lauding his client’s accomplishments while Lesnar stands in the middle of the ring and jigs on the spot every so often.

This week, however, he became the talk of the WWE Universe following his amusing entrance, as you can see below:

#4 ‘Paul, say something stupid’

Two weeks before CM Punk and Brock Lesnar faced each other at SummerSlam 2013 in a match billed as “The Best versus The Beast”, Punk gained the upper hand on Lesnar, Curtis Axel, and Paul Heyman during a confrontation on Raw.

Backstage interviewer Renee Young caught up with Heyman, as well as his two clients at the time, later in the show and asked for their response after Punk attacked Lesnar with a steel chair.

The question prompted these words from Lesnar:

“That’s the best of the best of the best of the best of the best that this world has to offer? I’m the BEAST… and the best… in the world…

...Paul, say something stupid.”

This was during a time when, much like now, Lesnar rarely spoke on WWE television, so his “Paul, say something stupid” line immediately got a huge laugh from the audience.

#3 Heath Slater’s kids

Brock Lesnar was a busy man in the summer of 2016. Not only did he make his MMA return to face Mark Hunt at UFC 200, but he also had to prepare to take on Randy Orton in the main event of SummerSlam.

The build-up to that year’s “Biggest Party of the Summer” was very chaotic due to the Raw and SmackDown Live rosters separating in the WWE Draft four weeks before the event.

At the time, Heath Slater was the only full-time Superstar who did not get drafted to either of WWE’s main-roster brands. The former 3MB member was informed that he would need to win a match on Raw to earn himself a contract on the show, so he made the unwise decision to interrupt Lesnar and explain to him that he needs a job for the sake of his kids.

Lesnar grabbed the mic from Paul Heyman and appeared to be considerate of Slater’s situation:

“Woah, woah, woah… I got kids, too, man. Come on in here, I feel you. Let’s talk about your kids...”

He then added:

“I don’t give a s*** about your kids.”

Needless to say, Slater promptly took a trip to Suplex City.

#2 The Mexican dance

One of the most memorable moments of Brock Lesnar’s first run in WWE came when he lost the WWE Championship to Eddie Guerrero at the No Way Out pay-per-view in February 2004.

A few days before the event, a sombrero-wearing Lesnar decided to have a little fun by dancing his way down the entrance ramp on SmackDown while a Mariachi band played instruments and sang in the middle of the ring.

Guerrero would go on to have the last laugh when, courtesy of interference from Goldberg, he defeated Lesnar in a career-defining match at No Way Out and we would never see antics like this from “The Next Big Thing” in WWE again.

Following the next PPV, WrestleMania XX, Lesnar lost against Goldberg and did not return to WWE television until 2012, the night after WrestleMania XXVIII, when he attacked John Cena on Monday Night Raw.

#1 Trading laughs with The Undertaker

Brock Lesnar looked on course to defeat Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship at the Battleground pay-per-view in July 2015. However, The Undertaker attacked Lesnar and caused a disqualification, setting up a match between the long-term rivals in the main event of SummerSlam.

Billed as a match “too big for WrestleMania”, The Undertaker picked up the victory in controversial circumstances when, moments after the referee failed to spot that “The Deadman” had submitted, Lesnar passed out to the Hell’s Gate.

The most memorable moment from the match, besides the finish, came towards the end when both men were recovering on the canvas after Lesnar kicked out of a tombstone. “The Beast” sat up first and began to laugh, prompting ‘Taker to sit up in his trademark fashion before laughing maniacally back in the face of his opponent.

While it was ‘Taker who made this moment special (and a GIF for years to come), Lesnar’s initial reaction to seeing his rival on the mat was also hilarious.
