5 recent news and rumors about Brock Lesnar: The Beast Incarnate hugged RAW star after segment, Update on WWE Day 1

#3 Disco Inferno compares CM Punk and Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar made his shocking return to WWE at SummerSlam, which came 24 hours after CM Punk's pro wrestling comeback. The Straight Edge Superstar has now been embedded into AEW and is wrestling regularly. He and Lesnar were recently compared in terms of star power.

Former WCW wrestler Disco Inferno claimed on a recent episode of Keepin' It 100 that The Beast Incarnate is a far bigger star than CM Punk, both in wrestling and the UFC. He said it's not even close, with Brock Lesnar being one of the biggest draws in UFC history.

Regardless, both Punk and Lesnar are among the biggest names in wrestling, be it WWE or AEW. Seeing the two of them perform at this level in 2021 has been incredible.

#2 Mark Henry is a big fan of Brock Lesnar's current character in WWE

Brock Lesnar's recent form on SmackDown has showcased his excellent personality. His babyface run is going well, with The Beast Incarnate clearly having a great time. The fun he is having has translated to the viewers as well. One of them who is enjoying Lesnar in his current role is AEW's Mark Henry.

The World's Strongest Man heaped heavy praise on Brock Lesnar on Busted Open Radio, calling it the best thing that could've ever happened to him. He also said that Lesnar's smile does something to his soul before highlighting how quickly he changes from happy to angry.

"He's very entertaining. His timing is very good, and now we get to see that because he's not stone-faced. He's not angry Brock all the time. Now, you noticed when Paul Heyman started saying, 'Reigning, defending,' Brock's face turned red. His expression changed," Mark Henry said.

Hopefully, Brock Lesnar retains his current persona beyond his feud with Roman Reigns. There is a lot of mileage in it.
