In an interview with Pat McAfee on his show, Brock Lesnar had some advice for White. Although Lesnar did admit that it’s tough to run a successful empire, he also wanted White to help his fighters to make them household names. Just like his current employer, WWE.

“I don’t watch a lot of fighting anymore just because there’s so many guys… stories. It’s hard to follow. I wish Dana could figure out how to book things different. Like, come on man, and let’s start getting behind some of these guys, and maybe protect somebody for a while so they can become a household name. You can cha-ching them,” Lesnar said.

“But he’s in the business of putting on super fights every week, and it’s tough to do and it’s tough to stay on top,” he continued.

Brock Lesnar won the Men’s Royal Rumble 2022 match and will challenge WWE universal champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38. As of now, Lesnar is slated for a WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match.
