KEY POINTS

  • Paul Heyman said that Brock Lesnar thinks he deserves to be in the main roster
  • Lesnar thought of leaving the company if he doesn’t make the main line-up
  • He is now the WWE Champion and had become a UFC Heavyweight champion

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar is undoubtedly the most vicious and aggressive wrestler in the ring and proof of that is the WWE Championship belt around his waist.

However, we won’t be able to see his dominant self should he continued with his plans during his early years with the company. Reports posted on SportsKeeda said that Paul Heyman talked about the plans of Lesnar leaving the company if he isn’t going to make the main roster.

Lesnar was signed to Ohio Valley Wrestling after his successful wrestling career in the collegiate ranks as he is pursuing a pro wrestling career. He even had the chance to be partners with college roommate Shelton Benjamin before being called up to the main roster.

“Brock Lesnar had learned all he was going to learn in developmental and he was tired of developmental money. Brock Lesnar knew that he was the biggest box-office attraction that WWE was going to have, and Brock Lesnar was tired of waiting,” Heyman said.

“So, Brock made a decision: move me up to the main roster or kiss my a-- goodbye. It was a no-brainer of a decision.”

WWE decided to move him up to the promotion’s main line-up and made his debut when he attacked Spike Dudley, Al Snow, and Maven during a match while being accompanied by a then long-haired Heyman. Back then, Lesnar was dubbed as the “hottest free agent.”

That served as his launching pad to even greater heights in the wrestling world. He will always be known as the man who broke the undefeated streak of The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, which stands at 21 wins prior to the match.

He also fought in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and became the UFC Heavyweight Champion after beating Randy Couture in 2008 via second-round stoppage. He dropped his last two fights and returned to the WWE.
