Brock Lesnar is one of the most remarkable icons in WWE and UFC history. He has accomplished so much over the course of his long career, that is still nowhere near climax. Along with his prosperous career, Lesnar has also found happiness in his family, with his wife Sable, a former professional wrestler, and his four children.

Brock Lesnar and Sable have been together for a long time. But, before that Sable was married to Marc Mero, a former boxer and WWE star in the 90s. The couple had a very eventful life together in WWF until Lesnar came in.

Mero attacked H and made Sable his manager. After that, Marc Mero had an injury that made him sit out until 1998. Meanwhile, Sable rose to prominence, iconically defeating Luna Vachon, with her trademark finishing move, “the Sable bomb”.

Later, Sable had a feud with Jacqueline, who was Mero’s manager at that time. In 1998 September, she lost to Jacqueline in the Women’s Title match, because of her husband’s interference.

But, she got revenge in November at Survivor series partnering with Christian and performing the ‘Sable bomb’ on both Mero and Jacqueline.

Sable also had a dramatic evening gown match in 1999, in which she lost to Debra, following a change of ruling by Shawn Michaels. Besides, Sable had a lawsuit against WWF, citing unsafe work conditions and sexual harassment. She had to quit Vince McMahon‘s company following the lawsuit because she allegedly refused to go topless.
