13 Looked Out For Paul Heyman
WWE and Paul Heyman were at odds for a few years when the ECW experiment failed. Heyman moved forward following his own business goals after leaving wrestling in the past. Brock Lesnar coming back to WWE in 2012 led to the shocking return of the mad genius.

Brock Lesnar's relationship with Sable isn't one that fans have much information about. However, Brock once revealed a hilarious prank he played on her, showing a different, much nicer, and funnier side to his personality.
Brock convinced Sable to leave her wedding band off instead of taking it on a trip, and it then went missing, as he hid it. Brock pretended their child had swallowed it, which led to her going through his diapers until Lesnar revealed his joke.
9 Picking Up Stranded Legends
The trips to Saudi Arabia for WWE's PPVs in the country are long ones, and because of that several legends took the time to go on a private jet. Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Jimmy Hart were traveling in style when their plane ended up having technical issues.
However, this is where Brock Lesnar stepped in. He organized for his plane to pick the three of them up, and the legends all traveled back with Brock on his plane instead.

Brock Lesnar primarily does work in the main event scene, but that doesn't mean he's not aware of the wrestler's lower down on the card. When he first worked for WWE, Drew McIntyre was struggling, working as a member of 3MB as a jobber.
