Only a select few world-renowned athletes have reached glory like Brock Lesnar. No matter whatsoever sport he competed in, he always came out on top. Therefore, fans are unlikely to see many wrestlers from his tribe. Besides dominating the pro wrestling industry, he also proved his mettle in the UFC, once the WWE closed its doors on him.
Even though it is his employer, The Beast Incarnate doesn’t care what his employer, the fans, or well-known individuals have to say or write about him. For context, he returned to the sport in 2016, after establishing a career in the UFC. Stephanie McMahon has already commented on the incident.

For background, he did make his return to the UFC in 2016 following a protracted absence. He was the center of discussion since he had already solidified his status in WWE and wasn’t likely to make his return in UFC. Given this, “The Billion Dollar Princess,” reacted when asked about it in the following manner:
“We are not supporting the fight necessarily but, again, it’s not a competitor to us, and the more that our superstars, that’s how we refer to our talent, the more they do outside of WWE, the more awareness it generates and the broader the audience can be that is then brought back into our properties.”
The company will not back Lesnar, she made that quite clear. When asked regarding the same, Lesnar stated, “I really don’t give a sh*t. I don’t know. I don’t care what she says.” That he doesn’t require any support—rather, his name alone buys the tickets—says a lot about his reputation.
