5 Real-life Brock Lesnar stories we learned in 2021

#3 Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins have respect for each other

Seth Rollins briefly feuded with Brock Lesnar in 2015 before crossing paths with the former MMA star again in 2019.

Over the years, Lesnar has developed a reputation as someone who can occasionally be difficult to deal with behind the scenes. Jon Moxley, for example, disliked working with the 44-year-old, claiming he was “met with laziness” after trying to discuss ideas for their WrestleMania 32 match.

Rollins, by contrast, had a different experience working with Lesnar. He revealed on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions show that he even shared a drink with his former in-ring rival after their WrestleMania 35 encounter:

“I really enjoyed working with him. I learned a lot from him and I knew he likes Coors Light, so I had a nice bucket of Coors Light in his locker room, just as a thank you. I think that really won him over. We sat down after and had a couple of drinks. Sorry to ruin your mystique, Brock, but you’re actually a nice guy when you wanna be,” said Rollins.

Seth Rollins also told an interesting story about his Battleground 2015 main event against Brock Lesnar. The match ended in a no contest after The Undertaker attacked his long-term rival, setting up a WrestleMania 30 rematch at SummerSlam 2015.

Brock Lesnar did not know The Undertaker was going to appear at the event until the day of the show. According to Rollins, his opponent felt “blindsided” and “upset” by WWE’s last-minute booking decision.
