5 Backstage stories about Brock Lesnar you might not know

#4 Big Swole told Brock Lesnar she could beat him up

Big Swole recalled on the AEW Unrestricted podcast that she had an interesting interaction with Brock Lesnar at a WWE show in 2016 before competing in a match against Nia Jax on RAW.

At the time, Big Swole – then known as Aerial Monroe – was relatively unknown in the wrestling world, but that did not stop her from trying to stand out when she saw Brock Lesnar.

After noticing that Brock Lesnar was politely being stopped by multiple people in the backstage area, she decided to make sure her first meeting with The Beast was memorable.

“I walked up to him and I was like, ‘Brock, right?’ He was like, ‘Yeah.’ ‘I just want to let you know that I could whoop your a**.’”

Big Swole said Brock Lesnar found it amusing that she had the confidence to say that straight to his face, and she could tell he was “p****d off” with being stopped by everyone.

“And he's like, ‘That's funny. What's your name?’ I'm like, ‘I'm Ariel.’ ‘Ok, I'll remember that. You can whoop my a**?’ ‘Yeah, I can whoop your a**.’ He said, ‘Okay, okay,’ and he walks off.”

While Nia Jax went on to defeat Big Swole in a match that lasted just 69 seconds, Brock Lesnar’s appearance on RAW that night ended with him receiving an RKO out of nowhere from Randy Orton.
