3 Things You Didn't Know About Brock Lesnar

'The Beast' Brock Lesnar is back in WWE and wreaking havoc. Just as UFC fans had become convinced that they would soon see Lesnar back inside the Octagon, his appearance at the Hell in a Cell WWE pay-per-view made people think otherwise.

However, if there is one thing that's clear it is the fact that Brock Lesnar has been talking about returning to UFC, and he will, but only after his USADA period is clear. It does not appear to be long, but January is still 4 months away, and before that Lesnar wants to continue to participate in WWE.

He is set to take on Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia, but it is also likely that in February he will face Daniel Cormier for the UFC Heavyweight Title.

Currently, the idea of him returning for the UFC Heavyweight Title Fight remains something that is yet to be confirmed, but at the same time, it remains that one more thing that no one is sure about.

In this article, we will be looking at three different things about the Beast which you do not know.

#1. Wrestled Akebono:

Big Show and Akebono Sumo wrestled at WrestleMania 21

WrestleMania 21 was one of the best parts of WWE's programming of the time, and it was full of extremely interesting matches. However, one of the matches on the card that people have tried and failed to forget is the Sumo Wrestling Match between Big Show and Akebono.

Akebono weighed more than the largest athlete in WWE before one of the shortest matches, as he defeated Big Show in a matter of seconds, and just like that the match with all the hype was over. The thing that people don't know is that Big Show is not the only WWE wrestler to have wrestled the sumo wrestler, Akebono.

Akebono had quit the idea of the sumo wrestling and had taken part in MMA for the shortest period. He had then moved onto wrestling.

In New Japan Pro Wrestling, he even got a shot at the NJPW Title when he faced Lesnar. Lesnar would defeat him and retain the title on that occasion.

#2. Won first WWE Match by TKO:

Brock Lesnar has dominated from his very first day in WWE

Wrestling in WWE means that you are in the world of sports entertainment, where reality stops and the performance of the contender's steps in.

Very rarely are there finishes where a winner wins by anything other than a pinfall or a submission. But when it comes to Brock Lesnar, the rules don't apply.

He decimated three hardcore competitors in his debut, although it was not in a real match. In his first-ever match in WWE, Lesnar faced Jeff Hardy.

He hit Hardy with a series of Powerbombs during the match, knocking him unconscious. The referee called the match immediately and handed the win to Brock Lesnar via TKO.

Even before coming to UFC, Lesnar was looking at doing the best he could from a legitimate point of view.

#1. Held all the championships!

Lesnar remains one of the freaks of nature

Let's take a step back and consider. Brock Lesnar has held the WWE Universal Title when he faced and defeated Goldberg. That is not all as he has also won the WWE Championship, and is still the youngest Champion till date within 5 months of his debut in WWE.

In WWE he also won the Royal Rumble competition, not to mention the King of the Ring Tournament as well.

He has been the holder of the UFC Heavyweight Title after he defeated UFC Legend, Randy Couture to pick up the title.

He has held the NJPW's IWGP title after winning it in his debut Triple Threat match.

What's more, he has even held the amateur wrestling championship, when he held the NCAA Heavyweight Championship.

Brock Lesnar remains truly one of a kind, and there is very little he has tried where he has not succeeded
