Whenever WWE honors someone, the company almost every time puts a championship belt on their shoulder. However, recently, WWE honored Dallas Cowboys’ Micah Parsons and gave him a Brock Lesnar style salute on social media.
WWE named Dallas Cowboys’ Linebacker and Defensive End Micah Parsons the “reigning, defending, undisputed Defensive Rookie of the Year!”

Parsons has shown excellent skills on the field with a consistent effort. As a result, making him the Rookie of the Year is justified.
Even recently, Parsons defeated Tyreek Hill in a foot race during the Pro-Bowl.
#Cowboys LB Micah Parsons beat Tyreek Hill, Nick Chubb and Trevon Diggs in a “fastest man” race. Rookie was going all-out.

Brock Lesnar had an amazing rookie year in 2002

Even though he left WWE for quite a while, his return at SummerSlam 2021 was just as grand as when he first came to WWE. Everyone was pumped to watch him in action, but the 2021 version of Brock Lesnar was a changed man.
The fans witnessed the emergence of a new character when he returned at SummerSlam 2021. The Beast was talking more, joking around, having fun, clicking selfies, posing with fans, and everything else that the old Lesnar wouldn’t do.
This managed to grasp the fans’ attention and saw them engage more with his storylines and segments. But, the fans aren’t always happy when it comes to Brock Lesnar.

Fans thought it was in poor taste to push a megastar to the top when The Beast secured the victory in the Royal Rumble men’s match
They believed it would have been better to have a fresh face win the match and get a WrestleMania title opportunity than giving it to Lesnar, who quite frankly doesn’t need anymore pushing.
But Vince McMahon isn’t one who changes his mind based on what others think. If he felt it’s still the moment to push Brock Lesnar, that’s what WWE will do!
