Brock Lesnar's book, 10 years on: 5 things we learned - Vince McMahon heat, why he envied Kane in WWE

#1 Brock Lesnar left WWE for family reasons

It is common knowledge that Brock Lesnar did not enjoy the full-time WWE lifestyle, but that was not the only reason he left in 2004.

The four-time WrestleMania main-eventer wanted to start a family with his then-girlfriend, Rena (formerly known as Sable), and he knew WWE’s schedule would have made that dream impossible.

“It wasn't about being tough [handling WWE’s gruelling schedule]. It was about having a life. A year or two bouncing around town to town, bar to bar, girl to girl, Vicodin to Vicodin, vodka bottle to vodka bottle, is not a life. I love being in the ring and performing. Bringing people to their feet. Getting people to hate my character. Entertaining the fans. ... But I wanted to have a family too, and I knew there was no way to do that with the schedule I worked,” Lesnar said. [H/T Bleacher Report]

Brock Lesnar married Rena on May 6, 2006. They have two sons together, Turk (born in 2009) and Duke (born in 2010). Lesnar also has two twins, Luke and Mya Lynn (both born in 2002), from his relationship with Nicole McClain.

As the tweet above shows, Mya Lynn joined the Arizona State Sun Devils track and field team in 2019. A Minnesota State Champion, she is one of the best shot-putters in America.
