Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant heels to ever step foot in a WWE ring. He made his WWE debut in the spring of 2002, after honing his craft in OVW for around two years.
Brock Lesnar wasn't interested in pro wrestling while growing up on a dairy farm, to the point that he didn't even know who Vince McMahon was. As per Jim Ross, Lesnar was fed up with being broke, before he bagged a contract with WWE around two decades ago.
"We had Brock committed and on his way along with Shelton Benjamin, on their way to Louisville within days of the wrestling season being over literally that week. I wasn't worried about it whatsoever. Brock was tired of being broke, and I remember he got the biggest rookie contract to that point. He was a no miss guy."
Brock Lesnar had two stints with WWE, and was pushed as one of the most dangerous entities in the company during both runs. He is the first Superstar to have broken The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak, and has squashed WWE legends like John Cena and Randy Orton on big stages.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
