We all know Brock Lesnar as a very dangerous man who takes his opponents to suplex city whenever he wants but little do we know about his other side. The Beast, as he is famously known has a softer side as revealed recently by WWE wrestler Natalya.

Natalya shed light on Lesnar’s backstage behaviour when she appeared on the Sports Guys Talking Wrestling Podcast. Without wanting to reveal too much into the beast’s offscreen character, she said, “People don’t know this and maybe this is too much to say, I don’t want to ruin Brock’s persona… Brock watches all of our matches in Gorilla. The last match that I had on SmackDown, he watched and he critiqued and gave us feedback, gave us advice, told us what we could do better. He stayed there and watched, and it was so cool getting advice from him, he’s such a badass but I really look up to him. I really like him, and he gives back.”

Natalya continued, “When it’s time to give back to somebody, he’s getting knocked on his a** because he knows how to fight and I love that about him, he really leads by example. I think he’s very very talented at what he does, and what I see backstage is him giving back. I like to go to Brock for advice and he does know what he’s talking about. He told me a dream match for him would’ve been to wrestle Bret Hart. We were talking last week and he said that would’ve been a dream match because I told him how much Bret was a fan of his work. I think Brock is awesome.”

Keith Lee reveals that Lesnar is a cool guy

Former WWE and current AEW superstar, Keith Lee also praised Lesnar for being a decent human being. He said, ”He’s [Brock Lesnar] always been so cool with me. It’s not something you expect based on specific stories and what have you. The reality was, I didn’t even know I was in the Rumble until like two hours before. They bring in a bunch of people.”

“The entire locker room is full, and I’m like, ‘I don’t want to be in the way.’ You keep your back against the wall, and then you find out you are on. You’re like, ‘Here we go.’ I don’t know what’s going on and then they start sorting out everything and there is a meeting because the Rumble is basically built around Brock. I got to chat with him and we sorted things out”, said Lee.
