Brock Lesnar made his way to WWE's main roster in the spring of 2002 and had become the biggest Superstar in the company in a matter of months. Former WWE Diva Sable made her return to Vince McMahon's promotion immediately after WrestleMania 19, and was a mainstay on SmackDown for the next year or so. Around this time, Brock Lesnar and Sable grew closer and were inseparable by the time Lesnar quit WWE in March 2004.
Brock Lesnar and Sable's relationship only blossomed further, as the latter was supporting him through thick and thin, especially when he was at the lowest point of his life. Today, Lesnar and Sable (real name Rena Lesnar) are still happily living together and have two children. In the following list, we will take a look at five things you should know about Brock Lesnar and Sable.
The stories used in this article are taken from Brock Lesnar's book, "Death Clutch"
#5 Brock Lesnar's hilarious prank on Sable
A long time ago, Brock Lesnar appeared on 'HQ on ESPN' and shared a hilarious story with the panel. Lesnar once played an amusing prank on his wife Sable, mere days before the couple's fifth wedding anniversary. Their son had just turned a year old, and Lesnar decided to take Sable on a tropical vacation. Lesnar instructed Sable to leave their wedding band at home as he didn't want it to get stolen by any chance. Brock Lesnar had already let the housekeepers in on his plan, and they later told Sable that the toddler had swallowed it.
Brock Lesnar's prank kept Sable busy for two days
A horrified Sable kept searching through her son's dirty diapers for the next two days, in hopes of finding the wedding band. Lesnar finally told her everything, and one wonders what her reaction must have been. Lesnar then presented Sable with a new wedding band, and here's hoping that the gift must have been enough to calm her down after what she went through over the past two days.
#4 Sable was the one who encouraged Brock Lesnar to settle things out with Vince McMahon
During his final few weeks with WWE in 2004, Brock Lesnar was set to travel to Savannah to wrestle on an edition of SmackDown. By this time, Lesnar had had enough and decided he wasn't going to do the show. He took a flight back home and had made up his mind at that point that he wasn't going to wrestle for WWE again. At the residence, Sable was the one who convinced Lesnar to end things the right way, instead of simply quitting without giving prior notice to Vince McMahon.
Go to Savannah, settle up face-to-face with Vince, handle your business the right way.
Brock Lesnar went on to have a meeting with Vince McMahon
Brock Lesnar agreed to what Sable said, and headed to the event. There, he had a heated meeting with Vince McMahon, and the two parties finally made an agreement. Lesnar was set to wrestle Goldberg at WrestleMania 20, following which he would part ways with WWE. At WrestleMania, Goldberg defeated Lesnar and the two megastars left WWE on the same night.
#3 Brock Lesnar hated it when Sable was still working with WWE while he had quit
Brock Lesnar left WWE immediately after WrestleMania 20, where he was on the receiving end of a Stone Cold Stunner that was met with a loud pop from the audience who was collectively against Lesnar for quitting. Sable, on the other hand, was still working for WWE, and Lesnar wasn't happy about it at all.
I hated it when Rena was on the road. There is a lot of testosterone in the business, and I was worried about what some jacka** might do or say to her. But Rena is a remarkable woman, and she can take care of herself. She did finally leave WWE, but not because they were treating her wrong or anything like that. She didn’t do it because they disrespected her. She left for me. My wife is an amazing woman.
After Brock Lesnar's departure, Sable kept working for around three months
Sable worked for WWE over the next three months and had a brief feud with Torrie Wilson. On the June 29, 2004 edition of WWE SmackDown, Sable lost a singles match to Wilson, and this was it in terms of a wrestling career for her. Sable hasn't wrestled a match ever since and is happily raising a family with Brock Lesnar.
#2 Sable wheeled Brock Lesnar out of a hospital that wasn't taking good care of him
Soon after UFC 100 was done and dusted with, Brock Lesnar realized that his heath was getting worse and worse with each passing day. He knew at that point that he needed to take care of his body and take some much-needed rest for a while. He went to a local doctor and found out that he had mononucleosis. What happened soon after must be giving chills to Brock Lesnar to this day.
Not long after we got to western Manitoba, I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst pain I have ever experienced. I never felt like that before. I was sweating buckets, just drenching the sheets, and I was delirious. I didn’t even know where I was. I remember seeing Rena looking at me, and then I fell back asleep.
Brock Lesnar went through excruciating pain over the next few days
Brock Lesnar was immediately taken to a hospital, where the CT machine was broken and the staff kept stalling until Lesnar had had enough. Both Brock Lesnar and Sable realized that they quickly needed to go to a "real hospital". Sable wheeled Lesnar out of the facility and it was a painful four-hour drive to a hospital in Bismarck, North Dakota. It took a long time, but Lesnar finally got well and was grateful towards Sable and his family for their support during those trying times.
#1 When Brock Lesnar got into Sable's home with help from a neighbor, while she was away
Like every couple, Brock Lesnar and Sable's relationships had its fair share of ups and downs. Soon after Sable left WWE, something happened between them that made her decide to leave him. Sable packed her bags and left for her home in Orlando. For the next several days, she refused to talk to Lesnar and had made it clear that didn't want anything to do with him. Lesnar, on the other hand, wanted to spend his life with Sable and decided to make a final attempt to make her change her mind.
Brock Lesnar went to great lengths in his attempt to get Sable back
He flew to Orlando and took a taxi to Sable's home, who was away at the time. Lesnar decided to enter the home from the backyard, and that's when a neighbor spotted him. The neighbor had seen him with Sable before and wasn't suspicious. He loaned him a screwdriver after Lesnar told him that he was working in the backyard and needed the tool. Lesnar opened a sliding door using the screwdriver and waited for Sable.
After a long time had passed, Brock Lesnar called Sable from her home phone, and she wasn't happy one bit. When she arrived back, the two made up and spent a week together. As Lesnar was set to leave, he finally popped the question to Sable at the airport, and she said yes. The rest, as they say, is history.
