WWE had to make a major change on the fly as they added ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar into an already stacked Fatal-4 way match for the WWE Championship match at the WWE Day 1 PPV.
However, no one imagined that Brock Lesnar will walk out of the PPV as the new WWE Champion, dethroning Big E’s reign as champion.
Since his return to the WWE program at the SummerSlam PPV, this Brock Lesnar seemed different. Now, we are not talking about his ponytail, beard, or his obsession with overalls. All of his mannerisms changed, and he started to smile more and cut promos.

Eventually, after winning the WWE Championship at the PPV, Lesnar broke the character and posed with fans with a smile on his face. Something which the WWE Universe has not seen in decades, or maybe never.
Brock Lesnar getting comfortable with the fans at WWE Day 1 PPV
Lesnar won the championship in one of the most hard-hitting matches on tonight’s card. With back-and-forth suplexes, splashes, slams, spears, it was hard for the WWE Universe to choose one winner.
However, Lesnar stunned everyone when he took blows from the other four men and still had enough energy left to deliver brutal F5s to his opponents.
Looks like Lesnar himself enjoyed his latest win. The fans in attendance took to Twitter who got the privilege to get a selfie from The Beast himself.
A fan took to Twitter and posted a selfie with Brock Lesnar with his newly won championship on his shoulder. Lesnar has a positive babyface smile on the face just like how the babyfaces of the company pose with fans.

The future for Brock Lesnar seems interesting as he has technically five matches left in his current WWE contract. However, once Paul Heyman gets into the mix, things will become interesting.
