Fans are the pivotal aspect of the wrestling business. Each wrestler, regardless of their gimmick, heel, or babyface, tries their best to connect with the fans in their way. But when you are built like a superstar like Brock Lesnar, you don’t need much character work. Lesnar is a rare breed who never needed any significant character work to connect with fans.
Whenever Lesnar makes slight change work to his character, it receives massive pops and reactions. Recent fan footage of Lesnar stealing a fan’s cap has gone viral and left fans floored over the change in his mannerism.

Lesnar is not known as a wrestler who interacts much with the crowd or fans. But after his match against American Nightmare Cody Rhodes at Summer Slam 2023, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar was interacting with the fans while leaving the stage. The uncharacteristic side of Lesnar has left fans floored.
The video was shared on Twitter on 8th August by WrestleFeatures, a fan page. In the 30-second clip, Lesnar was walking off the stage on the ramp, touching the hands of the fans. He even took the WWE merchandised cap of a fan and wore it before returning it.
Many fans are happy with the new version of the Beast Incarnate without his long-term manager Paul Heyman. Ever since Heyman sided with the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, Lesnar has been on his own on the stage.
His promo work, mic skills, and gimmick work have been top-notch. He has created a few unforgettable segments with Sami Zayn, Reigns, and Bobby Lashley that everyone will always remember. Cowboy Lesnar and his baby face turn while feuding against Sami Zayn are some of the best works he has put on in the last year or so. WWE fans were quick to admire his work in the comments section.
Fans admire Lesnar’s gimmick change and character work
Fans took to Twitter to admire Lesnar’s gimmick change and admired his character work to follow up the gimmick. Lesnar, who prefers limited interaction with people, is now interacting more with fans beyond his promo segments.
One fan tweeted appreciated the disassociation of Heyman from Lesnar.
He’s some bloke. Ever since Paul Heyman stopped managing i think he’s been allowed to show great a character he is.

Another fan appreciated his work while warning that this might be his last stint as a wrestler.
What I’m thinking is he’s probably on his last year of professional wrestling that’s why he’s having fun I don’t think he’s had this much fun in a long time he might retire soon

Another fan called this to be the best version of Lesnar “Grumpy Lesnar is the greatest version”
Sometimes happy sometimes grumpy Lesnar is the greatest version of him we’ve ever seen!!

Brock is 100x better without Heyman being his mouthpiece. Lesnar is arguably one of if not the best athlete WWE has ever had, and he has personality and charisma to go with it. These last couple years have been his BEST. Wish it was always like this to be honest.

It is quite possible that Lesnar sees this part of his career as giving it back to the talent and the fans. He has spent the last few months elevating other regular talents like Omos, Lashley, and Rhodes, and in the process fans have started to love him even more.
