After making his WWE debut in 2002, Brock Lesnar, through an eventful journey, has gone on to become one of the most dominant wrestling performers of all time.
Here, DAZN looks at the achievements won by Lesnar during his time in pro wrestling.
Who is Brock Lesnar?
An outstanding college wrestler, Brock Lesnar made the switch to pro wrestling in 2000 when he joined OVW, a developmental division of WWE, where his colleagues included John Cena, Dave Batista, and Randy Orton.
In 2002, Lesnar was called up to the main roster with Paul Heyman as his manager and the ‘The Beast’ made an immediate impact.
In his debut year in WWE, Lesnar would capture the WWE title from The Rock at Summerslam 2002 before getting the upper hand on The Undertaker in the same year.
Prior to these successes, Lesnar had also won King of the Ring and had even managed to secure a win over Hulk Hogan. This incredible debut year ended with victory over Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 19.
After leaving WWE in 2004, Lesnar embarked on a mixed adventure that saw him attempt to play American Football before he ended up wrestling in Japan.
In 2005, Lesnar won the IWGP title following a three-way match against Kazuyuki Fujita and Masahiro Chono, but he would lose the crown to Angle in 2007.
Following a successful spell in the UFC where he became heavyweight champion, Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012 where he began a feud with John Cena.
Lesnar’s comeback was an incredible story, and it took on even more significance when he became the first man to defeat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30.
Still a destructive force today, Lesnar’s recent contributions have included memorable feuds with Bobby Lashley, Bill Goldberg, and Roman Reigns, and it doesn’t look like the veteran has any plans to slow down.
Adorned with accomplishments since day one, don’t bet against Lesnar adding more chapters of glory to his decorated story.
