Current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is one of the most successful athletes in history. He began his amateur wrestling career in high school and won the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) heavyweight wrestling championship in his sophomore year. He made his official WWE debut in 2002 where he was signed to Raw before joining the Smackdown brand permanently.

Lesnar became the youngest WWE Champion by winning the title at the age of 25. He went on to win the 2003 Royal Rumble match and successfully defeated Kurt Angle in the main event of WrestleMania XIX. Brock left WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in the NFL. He joined NJPW IN 2005 where he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in his first match.

Lesnar also competed in UFC where he won the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Brock is the first person to win a world heavyweight championship in WWE, NJPW and UFC. Lesnar is also the first 2-time and longest reigning Universal Champion in WWE history. Although he is scarce in presence, Brock is still a major attraction wherever he goes.
