The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar is enjoying his time at the WWE. Ever since his return to professional wrestling, he has donned the persona of the biggest heel in the company, the ultimate boss of WWE. Just like the Undertaker, he is known to stay in his character all the time. Brock’s heel work has been so good that WWE had even thrown in a segment before Royal Rumble 2020 with R-Truth to make him break character.

But, as the days go by, Brock is slowly opening up and coming to his own. He has now maintained a semi-face persona for the last two years and does not shy away from breaking character off-screen. A clip uploaded by WWE on Instagram shows the soft side of Lesnar that might prove it.

Brock briefly interacted with Jey’s son before saying “I left you hanging, come here” and gave him a fist. Although Brock has busted his dad many times, with F5 and Suplex, the young boy seems excited about receiving affection from a bona fide WWE legend.
