‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar enters the ring as ‘Cowboy’ Brock. He has a broad smile on his face, a ponytail on his head, and poses with the fans. As he does not have Paul Heyman by his side, Lesnar cuts his own promos and is more of a fun-loving persona. Yes, Brock Lesnar is a babyface now!

The WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, loves the all-new redefined Brock Lesnar. On his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, ‘The Nature Boy’ was asked what makes ‘The Beast Incarnate’ a good babyface.

He said, “He’s real… Let me put it like this: a good babyface never goes out and promises something; he can’t deliver. Nobody predicts. You say what you think. You let the people draw their conclusion, but he is so powerful right now as a babyface.” 

Can babyface Brock be at the same level as babyface Stone Cold Steve Austin?

The 16-time World Champion also stated that Brock Lesnar could be as big as Stone Cold Steve Austin in a year if he remains a babyface. Ric Flair continued, “If he works full-time and elected to spend more time, he could be at the same level in another year if he stays like he is now like Steve [Austin] was as far as being over.”
