Brock Lesnar's initial run in WWE saw him become WWE Champion in quick succession, when he defeated The Rock at Summerslam 2002. Soon after, WWE came up with a Tag Team Tournament to crown new SmackDown Tag Team Champions at WWE No Mercy 2002. One of the quarterfinals saw Brock Lesnar team up with Tajiri of all people to take on Rey Mysterio and Edge.
The fast-paced pair of Mysterio and Edge somehow stole a victory, which enraged Brock to no end. He went on to unleash a brutal attack on his rivals, but this wasn't the end. Brock hit a thunderous F5 on Tajiri, his own partner. Suddenly, Undertaker hit the ring and began attacking Lesnar, who immediately fled the spot. Watching the behemoth in Brock team up with a cruiserweight like Tajiri wasn't something anyone ever expected to see.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
