Brock Lesnar is arguably the most dominant force in WWE today. Not only is The Beast Incarnate popular in the world of wrestling, but has made a name for himself in MMA too.

The nine-time world champion has worked on his own for most of his career and never won tag team championships. However, he has competed in many tag team matches in the past.

During his time in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), Lesnar used to team up with former roommate Shelton Benjamin. The Beast Incarnate has teamed up with The Big Show, Rey Mysterio, and many other big names on the main roster.

He also had some tag team matches with top superstars as his partner in OVW. Keeping in mind how Lesnar is a solo star in WWE, take a look at the eight forgotten tag team partners of Brock Lesnar.


#8. Brock Lesnar competed in a tag team with X-Pac

Before making his main roster debut, Brock Lesnar competed in a few dark matches to prepare for what’s to come. During that time, he teamed up with a few well-known stars, including Ron Waterman.

One surprising name that teamed up with Lesnar on a WWE Live show on March 10, 2002, was D-Generation X member X-Pac. The two men took on Randy Orton and Crash Holly and defeated them to come out on top.

Soon after the match, both Lesnar and The Viper were promoted to the main roster.

Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar have been bitter on-screen rivals in WWE. Their match at SummerSlam 2016 saw Lesnar nearly drill a hole into Orton’s head with his forearm.

Before they became rivals, Lesnar and Orton teamed up for a match during their days on the developmental circuit. On a WWE Live show on January 19, 2002, the two top superstars teamed up to take a loss from Steven Richards and Tommy Dreamer.

It turned out to be the only time the two megastars teamed up in WWE. Ever since, they have remained on the opposite side of the ring. Soon after making their main roster debuts, The Beast Incarnate and The Viper became the youngest WWE and World Heavyweight Champions, respectively.

#6. Brock Lesnar wasn’t too happy teaming up with Tajiri in WWE

Tajiri and Brock Lesnar never competed in WWE except for the 2003 Royal Rumble match. Months before the big match, Lesnar was forced to team up with Tajiri to compete against Edge and Rey Mysterio.

The match took place on an episode of SmackDown in October 2002 as part of a tournament to crown new tag team champions. Edge and Mysterio went on to win the contest, and Lesnar wasn’t too happy with the decision.

He beat down his partner to make a statement after the match. The Beast Incarnate successfully defended his WWE title against The Deadman inside Hell In A Cell at No Mercy.

During his time in Ohio Valley Wrestling, Batista was known as Leviathan. Before making his main roster debut, he teamed up with Brock Lesnar for a match on WWE Live.

The two heavyweights took on the makeshift team of Randy Orton & Shelton Benjamin. Lesnar & Batista defeated Orton & Benjamin. The two stars teamed up once again to take on Spike Dudley and on Tazz for a taping of WWE Jakked. They went on to lose that match.

Unfortunately, fans never got to see The Beast Incarnate go head-to-head with Batista in a one-on-one match.

#4. Brock Lesnar teamed up with late WWE Superstar Eddie Guerrero

Eddie Guerrero put on some legendary matches against Brock Lesnar in WWE. The two superstars competed for the top title at No Way Out 2004. Eddie defeated Lesnar to win the WWE Championship after a good match. It became one of the most memorable title victories of all time.

Before their memorable match, Eddie and Lesnar teamed up on an episode of RAW in June 2002 to defeat Bubba Ray Dudley and Rob Van Dam. It was the only time the two men were on the same side in a WWE match.


#3. Chris Benoit and The Beast Incarnate teamed up in WWE

Chris Benoit and Brock Lesnar faced each other a few times in WWE. Most of their encounters came in tag team matches. In one instance, the two men teamed up for a big match in WWE.

At No Mercy 2003, Lesnar, Benoit & Edge were booked to take on Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin). Edge was attacked before the match, and The Beast teamed up with Benoit for a Handicap Match instead.

Lesnar and Benoit won the match after Benoit forced Haas to submit to the Crippler Crossface. It was a good match that showed the quality of all the superstars involved.

Later in 2003, Benoit suffered the wrath of Lesnar in a WWE Championship match and went on to lose the competition.

After a good contest, Cena punched Angle with steel chains and pinned him to pick up the win for his team. The two megastars teamed up a couple of times again for live shows for WWE.
