Anuj’s vivid articulation of the beauty of this sport is brought to the fore with his commentary on the ever-changing dynamic of wrestling storytelling and the ever-growing separation between fiction and reality. Don’t be surprised if he’s rambling about how black and gold NXT was as good as wrestling gets or if he makes a compelling case for why Samoa Joe is the most complete modern wrestler. When not writing wrestling media, he draws inspiration from comic books, animation, and video games. He balances his appetite for violence with table-top board games on Sundays.

Whenever someone ventures into their dream profession, they have a goal they want to achieve. When it comes to pro wrestling, the goal of most newbies is to dethrone an existing champion or be the opponent for a veteran’s retirement match. One such champion and veteran on many people’s lists is Brock Lesanr. While many stars have expressed their desire to defeat Lesnar in the past, one former UFC star wanted to retire Lesnar and many were fans of the idea. WHO WANTED TO RETIRE BROCK LESNAR? The star in question is none other than the Original Bro, Matt Riddle. In an interview with The MMA Hour after winning his NJPW championship belt, the former WWE star reflected upon his time at WWE and all the things that eventually led to his downfall at WWE. However, one thing that he talked about was what his goal was during his time at WWE. During the interview, he told how every star wishes to reach the status of Roman Reigns. However, what caught everyone’s attention was when he expressed what his goal was at WWE. He said, “I remember my goal in my wrestling career was to retire Brock Lesnar.” Riddle believed that this would have helped him achieve his dream of becoming an ultimate WWE star. 

Former WWE star stated that his ultimate goal during his time at WWE was to retire the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brock Lesnar: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Brock Lesnar? </b></h2>
If there is one Superstar that does not need any introduction, it's Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate was one of the most dominant wrestlers in WWE history, as his sheer physical and athletic superiority gave him an undeniable edge over his opponents. Lesnar has been in the business long enough to add a huge blend of experience to his already superhuman abilities. He has had a well-decorated career so far and is one of the strongest athletes to ever grace the WWE ring.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar’s Early Life </b></h2>
Brock Lesnar was born on July 12, 1977, in Webster, South Dakota to Ricard and Stephanie Lesnar. His parents did not have any connection with the wrestling world and ran a dairy farm. He has three siblings, two brothers and one sister named <span style="font-weight: 400">Troy Lesnar, Chad Lesnar, and Brandi Nichol Lesnar. Speaking of his education, Brock studied at Webster High School and was a big football fan throughout his school days. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar’s Wife and Children</b></h2>
Brock Lesnar met his life partner, Rena Greek, renowned by her ring name Sable while working with WWE. The couple finally tied the knot in May 2006 following an extensive dating period. Just like her husband, Sable has also made a name for herself in the wrestling world. She majorly dominated in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

As far as children are concerned, Lesnar became a father for the first time in 2002 as he welcomed a daughter named Mya Lynn and a son named Luke Lesnar with his then-fiancée Nicole McClain. Lesnar also has two kids with his wife Sable in the form of two sons, Turk and Duke Lesnar. Brock also essays the role of a stepfather for Mariah, who is Sable's biological daughter from her previous relationship.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar Net Worth 2024 (Update)</b></h2>
As per wealthygorilla.com, Brock Lesnar has a net worth of $25 million. The wrestler majorly earns from WWE while he also has a partnership with brands like Dymatize Nutrition and Death Clutch.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar’s Career Timeline</b></h2>
Brock Lesnar joined the World Wrestling Federation in 2000 and formed a team with Shelton Benjamin named The Minnesota Stretching Crew to win the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship a total of three times. His initial foray into WWE came in March 2022 during RAW. In his first game, he defeated The Hardy Boyz, and in June of the same year, won the King of the Ring tournament. He also became eligible to participate in the Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam where he outshined <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">The Rock</a> to become the youngest world champion in WWE's history.

[caption id="attachment_1963171" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1963171 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1393475587.jpg" alt="Brock Lesnar" width="1920" height="1264" /> GLENDALE, ARIZONA - APRIL 22: Brock Lesnar, former WWE champion and UFC champion, flexes for the crowd during a game between the Arizona Coyotes and Washington Capitals at Gila River Arena on April 22, 2022 in Glendale, Arizona.

Further, during his time with the company, Lesnar competed with a lot of wrestlers including <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-undertaker/">The Undertaker</a>, Hulk Hogan, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a>, Kurt Angle, and many others. In a surprising turn of events in 2004, the superstar decided to put a halt on his wrestling career to pursue his passion for football. Following his childhood dream of playing the sport, Lesnar didn't want to turn 40 with any regrets of what could have been. He joined the training leagues and soon caught wind of the scouts.

He was then called up for trials. However, a short while before the trials, Lesnar met with a big motorcycle accident, which injured him badly. According to Paul Heyman, Lesnar still went for the trials and completed the dash in record time. Sadly, the groin injury that he had sustained as a result of the accident proved to be the poison to his NFL career as it kept acting up. Lesnar was released from the Minnesota Vikings just half a season after he had joined.

Following his very short stint in the NFL, Brock decided to join the Japan-based wrestling promotion named New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He was quick to make an impact there also as he defeated Kazuyuki Fujita and Masahiro Chono to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. In 2007, the star wrestler lost to Kurt Angle and thus decided to take a break from wrestling till 2012.

It was a dramatic comeback for Lesnar in WWE in 2012 as he lost to John Cena before defeating <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/triple-h/">Triple H</a>. The rivalry between Triple H and Lesnar continued for months as the two took turns to defeat one another. In 2014, the star returned to Raw to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating The Undertaker and Cena.

He then went on to carry the Universal Champion title for a record 504 days following a victory against Goldberg at WrestleMania 33. It was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns'</a> who put a dent to the Brock's winning streak by defeating him at the SummerSlam. Following that he won the WWE Championship and after some months took a break from the company.

Lesnar made his comeback to WWE at SummerSlam PPV after being out of action following his loss at WrestleMania to Drew McIntyre. The most surprising part about his comeback was that he rocked a ponytail and a beard, something that the WWE Universe never expected. The Beast then feuded with the reigning WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and lost.

[caption id="attachment_1908643" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1908643 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Brock-Lesnar-Roman-reigns-2.jpg" alt="Brock Lesnar: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more" width="1920" height="1280" /> Image Courtesy: Imago[/caption]

The pair was again set to face each other at the Day 1 event, but Reigns had to pull out of the match. Lesnar was then added to the Raw WWE Championship match in which he defeated Lashley, Rollins, Kevin Owens, and defending champion Big E. 'The Beast Incarnated' then faced Lashley at the Royal Rumble event and lost his title after interference from Reigns. Later that night, he entered the Rumble match at the 30th spot and won the whole thing. Following that, he continued making appearances at WrestleMania and Smackdown taking on different opponents.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar’s Contracts</b></h2>
Brock Lesnar has a lucrative contract with WWE that pays him a handsome amount of $12 million annually.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar’s Partnerships and Endorsements</b><b></b></h2>
The wrestling has formed a partnership with brands like Dymatize Nutrition while also being associated with the fashion brand Death Clutch.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar’s Wrestling Career stats</b></h2>
Brock Lesnar has so far featured in 434 wrestling matches, winning 312 games and losing 114 fixtures. He has a winning and losing percentage of 71.9 and 26.3 respectively, while eight of his matches ended in a draw.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Brock Lesnar’s Records</b></h2>
Brock Lesnar once made it to the history books for holding the Universal Champion title for a record 504 days. The feat was later achieved by a handful of other superstars as well, and thus he currently occupies the sixth place on the esteemed list. In 2004, Lesnar stole the limelight by breaking The Undertaker's winning streak at WrestleMania while he also made a name for himself by winning the iconic Royal Rumble twice.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brock Lesnar’s achievements</b><b></b></h2>
