Back in 2015, UFC President Dana White had a Twitter exchange with a WWE fan, which saw him dubbing Vince McMahon's promotion 'fake'. The comments weren't taken lightly by the pro wrestling industry, and Brock Lesnar was one of the guys who didn't like White's comments. According to White, all the WWE Superstars he met were great people, but the presentation was still fake. Brock Lesnar, while speaking with ESPN's SportsCenter, took a major shot at Dana White and praised Vince McMahon in the process.

"I think Vince McMahon is better at it than Dana [White] and that might rub Dana the wrong way." - @BrockLesnar on WWE vs UFC
Brock Lesnar left WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in NFL. When that didn't work out, he went to NJPW and later built a career for himself in UFC. Lesnar became a huge mainstream star in MMA and brought his popularity with him to WWE when he returned in 2012.
Lesnar left Vince McMahon's promotion on a bad note in 2004, but it seems like he is well aware of the pains that a WWE Superstar has to endure, and didn't mince his words while criticizing Dana White for taking a shot at the company.

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.
