The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar is enjoying his time at the WWE. Ever since his return to professional wrestling, he has donned the persona of the biggest heel in the company, the ultimate boss of WWE. Just like the Undertaker, he is known to stay in his character all the time. Brock’s heel work has been so good that WWE had even thrown in a segment before Royal Rumble 2020 with R-Truth to make him break character.
But, as the days go by, Brock is slowly opening up and coming to his own. He has now maintained a semi-face persona for the last two years and does not shy away from breaking character off-screen. A clip uploaded by WWE on Instagram shows the soft side of Lesnar that might prove it.

Brock Lesnar introduced his new Cowboy Lesnar persona while building up his feud with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38. It was one of the rare occasions where Brock did some promo work without the assistance of his long-term friend and manager, Paul Heyman. The character gave us many memorable moments like promo with Bobby Lashley, Sami Zayn, and Roman Reigns. The crowd loved his character, and since then he has kept it going.
WWE uploaded a reel on Instagram on 11th August showcasing Cowboy Lesnar with his hat and the caption “Brock gets Ucey“, a phrase coined by Sami Zayn. In the reel which is from Summer Slam 2023 before the event got underway, Lesnar is interacting with a young Samoan boy who is Jey Uso’s younger son, Jeyce Fatu.

Brock briefly interacted with Jey’s son before saying “I left you hanging, come here” and gave him a fist. Although Brock has busted his dad many times, with F5 and Suplex, the young boy seems excited about receiving affection from a bona fide WWE legend.
