There is no WWE Superstar on this list whose real-life personality contradicts their on-screen persona more than Brock Lesnar. Because of his absence from social media and public events, the aura of his character and persona is often preserved.

Punk is now an AEW star and he had an all-time classic against Lesnar at SummerSlam 2013. Although he lost the match, CM Punk described Brock Lesnar as a "sweetheart" and said that he considers himself lucky that The Beast Incarnate wanted to work with him.

Not only was Lesnar receptive to Punk's ideas of calling the match on the fly, but he later offered his help for the latter's MMA career in the UFC. He said that Lesnar doesn't get enough credit for being a great family man:

"They'll talk about the freak strength and the crazy athletic things he's done in his career, the accomplishments.

All the fame and the money and everything is really just a side effect of being successful at what he wants to do. And he does what he wants, when he wants. That's the beauty of Brock Lesnar," said Punk.
