Brock Lesnar established himself as a bona fide star in the WWE ever since his debut in 2002 when he showed up as Paul Heyman’s Next Big Thing. He quickly rose to the top when he won the WWE Championship from The Rock at Summer Slam. Since then, he has never looked back except for his rivalry against The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns who has humbled The Beast many times.
Current WWE Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns has cemented his status as the superior one in his rivalry against Brock Lesnar. Despite his monumental wins against Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 and Summer Slam 2022, a former WWE Champion credits Lesnar as a bigger star than Reigns.

Brock Lesnar’s legitimacy as a fighter in the combat sports history needs no introduction. The Beast has conquered every mountain he has aimed for. He was the NCAA Champion before he joined WWE. He moved to UFC and became a Heavyweight Champion there before coming back to WWE again in 2012.
While speaking to Wrestling Inc. in an exclusive interview, the former Hardcore Champion Al Snow stated his opinion on one of the most dominant wrestlers of today. He said, “The single biggest star in wrestling? Probably Brock Lesnar, I would say. I would say probably Lesnar, without a doubt.”
Al Snow has been in the business for over 4 decades and based on his experience, he felt that Lesnar is the top-ranked pro wrestler among all active wrestlers now. After retirement from active wrestling, he works as the Head of Kentucky’s OVW, so his expertise is legitimate.
Other than Al Snow, WWE Legend Goldberg praised Brock Lesnar in the Chris Jericho Podcast by calling him an absolute mastermind. But Al Snow has other reasons for considering Lesnar to be at the top.

Al Snow explains why Brock Lesnar is better than Reigns
Al Snow has also given reasons as to why he feels Lesnar is better than Reigns despite the Tribal Chief’s position in WWE. He further states, “I would really, really say that he’s a guy that Mr. And Mrs. Walmart know his name, and then a close second would probably be Roman Reigns.”
Popularity among the general public is one of the most important metrics for a WWE Superstar. Lesnar has been a superstar since his debut and has been a wrestling genius from his amateur wrestling days. Being at the top of the Combat Industry for over 2 decades has ensured that he is now a household name for people even outside of the USA.
