10-time WWE world champion Brock Lesnar was portrayed as a silent, stone-faced warrior for most of the first 19 years of his career. The Beast Incarnate rarely interacted with fans, entering and leaving arenas in quick, mercenary-esque fashion after destructing his opponents.

However, upon his return at SummerSlam 2021 after a 16-month absence, the Conqueror exhibited a changed demeanor. He was more exuberant, happy and relatable.

In January 2015, WWE COO Triple H was part of The Authority at the height of the stable's villainous run. Sitting ringside during a match on an episode of Monday Night RAW, The Game noticed a young 8-year-old fan chanting his name. The 14-time World Champion tried to stop his chants using heelish behavior, but in the process, caused the young fan to cry.

This led the King Of Kings to break character by explaining to the young fan that he had just been messing around. Stephanie McMahon broke character as well to help cheer up the child.

Later on, the fan and his father were invited backstage for a special meeting with the power couple in a heartwarming gesture, contrary to the evil characters they portrayed on screen.
