WWE star Bobby Lashley has spoken highly of the man-of-the-moment and World Champion Brock Lesnar ahead of the showdown at the Royal Rumble. The Beast Incarnate recently pinned Big E at the Day 1 pay-per-view to capture the World Championship belt and remains in red hot form heading into the Royal Rumble. Lashley, however, remains unperturbed by his rival’s form as he knows that Lesnar is heartless inside the ring which helps him to be a top fighter and he will have a tough contest. He also believes that Lesnar is a sort of fighter who can break the neck of his opponent and walk away without any fuss because that is a part of his job.
“Brock is heartless in a good way for a fighter, because I know that he’s gonna be the toughest fight that I’ve had… I’ve stood in front of many of these guys [other performers] throughout the years… They’re hopping around, they’re trying to get in character… They’re faking it. When I looked at Brock, it was a little different. Brock will go out there and break your neck and walk out with his security guards and Paul and prance right out of the arena and not care about anything,” Bobby Lashley said in the latest edition of WWE’s The Bump.
The Next Big Thing, as Lesner is nicknamed in WWE, made his debut in 2002 after a two-year stint at Ohio Valley Wrestling. It took him no-time to establish his name for the company as he defeated the likes of WWE stars Matt Hardy, Rob Van Dam, Booker T and The Rock to become a RAW sensation.
Lesnar made his first departure from WWE in 2004, as a global star. He, then, returned to the company for a second stint from 2012 to 2020 where he dominated the World Championship.

It was in 2021 that Lesner returned to the company for his third stint sporting a farmer look with a beard and ponytail. He pinned defending champion Big E to become the reigning WWE champion.
The World Champion will take on Bobby Lashley in the Royal Rumble. However, he remains more keen to face Roman Reigns in the upcoming SmackDown. “A comment? I do have a comment. Tell Roman Reigns I’ll see him this Friday on SmackDown,” Brock Lesnar said.
His bout with Reigns at the SmackDown for the Universal Championship was postponed after The Tribal Chief tested positive for COVID-19. It is expected to be a mouth-watering contest as the duo have shared a long rivalry besides having enthralled the fans with their stature. Moreover, Lesnar is also expected to enter the contest, as the favourite. Meanwhile, The Beast Incarnate was added to the event’s other world title contest.
