WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is not a man who is known for getting along with other WWE Superstars. There are several Superstars with whom it is known that Lesnar has a less than a positive relationship.

He has been involved in several confrontations backstage with other WWE talent and is known for rubbing people the wrong way. The fact that he is more involved with UFC, and does not care about WWE other than as an avenue to make money has also been a factor for people judging him.

However, there are WWE wrestlers who are good friends with Brock Lesnar -- or are at least close to 'The Beast Incarnate'.

In this article, we will take a look at 5 WWE Superstars who are actually friends with Brock Lesnar.


#5 The Rock

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has been a huge part of Brock Lesnar's start in WWE. Without The Rock, Lesnar might not have been the dominant force that he is today.

Currently, The Rock might have been away from WWE for a long time, focusing on his career in Hollywood, but there was a time where he was one of WWE's biggest Superstars. He was one of the faces WWE was known for in the Attitude Era, and along with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was partially responsible for helping WWE to defeat WCW.

When Brock Lesnar first made his debut in WWE, he was known as the 'Next Big Thing' in the company. While other Superstars were reluctant to put him 'over' with the crowds, The Rock was one of the first ones to agree to it.

That's exactly what he did, helping Lesnar to secure his first big win at WWE SummerSlam 2002. Other than this, Lesnar also mentioned being thankful to the Rock for helping him out behind the scenes towards the beginning of his run in WWE.

If the Rock does decide to return one more time, it would not be the biggest shock in the world for it to be in a program with Brock Lesnar.

#4 John Bradshaw Layfield

John Bradshaw Layfield is one of the WWE Superstars most well known for not taking a liking to WWE rookies.

He is not well-liked backstage for that very reason for putting the youngsters in WWE through trials and tribulations, which make their already difficult lives far more unbearable.

However, if there was one rookie that JBL had no problem with, it was Brock Lesnar. He obviously respected 'The Beast' and made his opinion clear to people when asked. He spent a lot of time when touring with WWE, traveling with Brock Lesnar.

That is exactly how good relationships develop between WWE Superstars, with their relationships and bonds getting stronger the more time they spend on the road together.

JBL has made it clear through his podcasts and tweets, that he considers Brock Lesnar to be a friend. The two Superstars have also been pictured together outside WWE, which adds more credence to their friendship.

#3 Bill Goldberg

Brock Lesnar is not known for losing to WWE Superstars cleanly. However, that's exactly what happened when Bill Goldberg returned to WWE at Survivor Series 2016.

In one of the shocks of the decade, Brock Lesnar was dominated and defeated by Bill Goldberg in a matter of 84 seconds. The fight was not what anyone had expected, as Lesnar is known for refusing to lose to anyone. Thus the complete nature of the loss came as an even bigger surprise.

During their feud early in WrestleMania XX, the two Superstars had clicked. Their WrestleMania match might be one of the most infamous of all time, given that they were both leaving WWE immediately following the event. However, during the program, they had actually become good friends.

Thus, when Goldberg wanted to come back for a feud, it made sense that it happened with none other than the Beast Incarnate.

#2 Shelton Benjamin

Brock Lesnar is known for being a ferocious and brutal WWE Superstars of all time. He has defeated and taken out most of the WWE wrestlers that he has faced.

However, before Brock Lesnar was such a big Superstar in the WWE, he was present in Ohio Valley Wrestling. There he was part of a tag team called Minnesota Stretching Crew. The man he was teaming with? Shelton Benjamin.

Even before coming to WWE to perform together, Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar had been roommates in college.

They were integral in each other's careers back when they were wrestling in OVW. By 2002, the two wrestlers came onto the main roster together. Benjamin and Lesnar are known to have kept in touch out of the ring.

Now, their friendship has taken on a new chapter, with Benjamin coming out to attack Seth Rollins on this episode of WWE RAW. The two are obviously well in touch with each other.

#1 The Undertaker

Brock Lesnar shocked the entire world at WrestleMania 30 when he played with The Undertaker -- who was almost a ragdoll by the end of the match. He became the first person to break the Undertaker's streak at the Grandest Stage of them all.

The biggest and best-known streak in WWE of all time was taken out by him.

The fact that The Undertaker was okay with losing to Brock Lesnar and sacrificing the Streak that had become such a huge part of the career of the Phenom spoke volumes of how much respect he had for Brock Lesnar.

One of the lesser-known facts about Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker is that the two are really good friends. Not only is there a lot of respect between the two Superstars, but it is also a fact that both WWE legends are friends with each other.

Even during that period when WWE and Brock Lesnar was not on the best of terms, the Beast kept in touch with the Undertaker.
