In the industry of pro-wrestling, there are certain rivalries that just click with the audience. Like Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker vs Kane, John Cena vs Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar.

The two heavyweights have collided with each other several times and have produced few grand matches when performing together. However, while the WWE programming has portrayed both the athletes as opponents, it looks like the athletes have a lot of respect for each others in-ring work.

Reigns and Lesnar are currently in a feud over the WWE Universal Championship, which has been set on Reigns’ shoulders for well over 400 days now.

‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar is WWE’s ruthless conqueror and has never shied away from letting his thoughts be known to anyone. The fact that Reigns has complimented his in-ring skills multiple times hints that Lesnar is on good terms with Reigns.
