In the annals of combat sports, few names command as much respect and awe as Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate, as he is often called, achieved greatness in WWE by defeating a top wrestler. Then he took an unexpected detour to the unforgiving world of mixed martial arts and UFC. 

This transition raised eyebrows, as Lesnar left behind a thriving WWE career to step into the octagon. It was a move that left fans, critics, and fellow wrestlers curious, if not slightly skeptical. Nevertheless, maybe WWE has not discussed it but he secured successful wins against seasoned opponents in both rings, famous for their Hollywood roles.

Dwayne Johnson made his debut in the movie “The Scorpion King” in 2002. He was the main Scorpion King in the movie.  Back in 2002, at WWE SummerSlam, the world witnessed a clash of titans as Lesnar squared off against The Rock. The Great One, already poised for a Hollywood career, defended his WWE Undisputed Championship against the rising Beast. 

The match had a surprising outcome as Lesnar became the youngest WWE Champion ever by defeating The Rock, leading to speculation about The Rock’s departure and a pivotal moment in their careers. Randy Couture portrayed the character Sargon in the second installment of “The Scorpion King” series in 2008. In the movie, he played the role of the antagonist Sargon, and killed the Scorpion King’s father.

In November 2008, UFC fans witnessed a pivotal moment when Brock Lesnar defeated Randy Couture for the Heavyweight Championship. Lesnar won the UFC Heavyweight Championship in just his third UFC fight. Later it boosted the UFC 91 Pay-Per-View buy rate beyond one million, showcasing his meteoric rise in MMA.

However, even though The Rock and Lesnar are different personalities, they do share one common ground.
