Brock Lesnar is undoubtedly one of the strongest Superstars to have walked the WWE ring. His matches, his moves, his workout routine, and his physique is an example of the same. However, the real question is – is he THE STRONGEST Superstar?

If one is to include former and current Superstars, the answer is no. Former WWE Superstar Mark Henry was the strongest when he was still working with the company. In fact, he was the World’s Strongest Man. But, that’s officially. What about unofficially?

It so happens that Brock Lesnar reportedly benches over 600 pounds and swaths over 1,000 pounds. This figure in itself would put Lesnar at the top. Now, let’s assume he did this when he was younger, well, technically Henry was pronounced the Strongest Man in 2002. Brock Lesnar has hit these numbers much afterwards.

Next Roman Reigns weighs around 265 pounds. The Beast has executed moves where he has actually picked up and thrown Reigns over. This is evidence of the immense strength Lesnar possesses.
