5 things you may not know about Brock Lesnar and Sable's relationship

#4. Brock Lesnar didn't like that Sable was working with WWE after he quit

Brock Lesnar left WWE in early 2004 following his defeat against Goldberg at WrestleMania XX. At the time, he wanted to pursue a career in the NFL. However, his then-girlfriend, Sable, continued working in Vince McMahon's company.

In his book "Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival," The Beast Incarnate disclosed that he was not happy that Sable was still working in WWE. However, she was not yet ready to let go of her career:

"Rena was still on the road with WWE, and she was flying into Phoenix to be with me. I didn’t like the fact that she was in that environment anymore. I already knew she was the woman that I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, but she wasn’t ready to let go of her career yet," he wrote.

Meanwhile, the former WWE Champion understood why his then-girlfriend did not want to follow in his footsteps and leave Vince McMahon's company at the time:

"I guess I can’t really blame Rena for not walking out when I did. We weren’t married, I had just made myself unemployed, and the odds of a guy who never played college football making an NFL roster were not good. But none of that stopped me from trying to get her to quit. 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 jackass might do or say to her. But Rena is a remarkable woman, and she can take care of herself," Brock Lesnar added.

Sable had a busy year in WWE in 2004. In March, she joined forces with Torrie Wilson to feud with Stacy Keibler and Miss Jackie. They squared off in a Tag Team Evening Gown match at WrestleMania XX.

Sable and Wilson won the bout. Nonetheless, the former Women's Champion later turned heel and feuded with her former tag team partner, Torrie Wilson.
