5 WWE Superstars who had backstage issues with Brock Lesnar

#3 Big Show

In his book, "Death Clutch", Brock Lesnar talked about his first stint in WWE in vivid detail. He shared his honest thoughts about several WWE Superstars, including Big Show. Lesnar and Big Show had locked horns on many occasions back in 2002-03, and are still good friends. For a short while though, there was heat between them. Brock Lesnar made it clear in his book that Big Show didn't respect him and thought that he would get intimidated by him like others, but that was far from the truth.

He thought I was just another dumb jock greenhorn who was going to be intimidated by him, but I dropped him to the mat with a double leg takedown, and he was crying uncle.

Another day, he was bullying everyone around, and I decided to bully him back. He got mad at me and told me, “I’ll be back up in the main events, making millions, and you’ll still be down here in Louisville setting up the ring.

Brock Lesnar and Big Show went on to become good friends

Big Show was dead wrong about Brock Lesnar's future though, as The Beast went on to become one of the greatest Superstars in WWE history and also became a mainstream star courtesy his UFC stint. Lesnar stated in his book that the two later became good friends and that he likes Big Show.

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.
