Brock Lesnar is one of WWE’s most fearsome characters.

Known as “The Beast Incarnate”, Lesnar was consistently the main attraction during what fans came to call the “Ruthless Aggression Era” of WWE.

“The Beast” was a genuine athlete with fantastic strength and movement. As well as WWE, where he won the World Championship at only 25 years of age, and reigned as Universal Champion for 504 days, Lesnar is a former UFC heavyweight champion and a former professional American footballer.

He is known for his Suplexes and his favourite finisher the F-5. A fearsome specimen with an unbreakable game-face.

However, lately this persona has undergone a change.

Since his return to WWE in August 2021, he has adopted a cowboy/farmer look and has been known to interact a lot more with fans at ringside.

However, one fan went one further and even managed to make him break character.

WWE: Brock Lesnar breaks character because of ringside fan's shouting

Brock Lesnar breaks character

A fan footage video is doing the rounds of Lesnar reacting to a fan’s comment. As “The Beast” makes his way back into the ring, a fan calls him out, shouting: “Brock, that’s enough... rub some dirt on it... you ain’t hurt!”

And Lesnar can clearly be seen turning in the direction of the fan laughing. Many have commented on the video with a number claiming the fan was either very brave or very foolish for calling out “The Beast.”

Others saw it as evidence of Lesnar’s new persona, commenting that he seemed to enjoy his so called baby face run on WWE. Others say that it shows that behind the mask he adopts as a top sportsman, Lesnar is a genuine man, one fan suggesting that one of the reasons he has not interacted very much in the past is that he is naturally introverted.

Other fans commented that the reason for Lesnar’s smile was that “rub some dirt on it” would have been typical words he would have heard during his upbringing, when he picked up an injury playing sport or working on his parent’s farm. It is a fair bet that Lesnar has worked through a number of painful blows during his varied sporting career.

What is Brock Lesnar's WWE future?

Lesnar has been absent from WWE programming ever since he lost to Roman Reigns at WWE SummerSlam on July 30 and it could be a while until we see him again.

WWE usually features Lesnar at major pay-per-views and stadium events. He currently isn't on the card for Crown Jewel 2022, which will run on November 5 in Saudi Arabia. It is thought that the 45-year-old could return either side of New Year.

He has recently been seen completely clean shaven, meaning that when he does come back to the ring, it could be with a new look. Or maybe a return to his original persona.

Whatever happens, it is unlikely to be dull.
