Brock Lesnar is one of the most recognizable combat athletes on the planet, not just for tossing guys around with F5s in WWE or smashing opponents with those brutal hammer-fists back in his UFC days. He’s also made a name for himself with some seriously iconic looks over the years. That trademark buzz cut and intimidating scowl? Classic Lesnar! But lately, it’s his long hair that’s been turning heads and grabbing fans’ attention.
Recently, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ showed up at an event with his wife, Rena Mero, better known as Sable from WWE, and they took a picture. However, in that picture, it didn’t look like the Brock Lesnar we’ve all come to know. He was rocking long hair, a full beard, and a sharp suit. Honestly, a lot of people didn’t even recognize him at first. The look totally threw fans off, and before long, speculations have started about the motivation for this new look.
Among the many theories floating around, one fun possibility that popped up is that Brock’s daughter, Mya Lesnar, might’ve dared him to switch up his look. Mya, who recently made headlines by winning her fourth straight Mountain West Conference shot put title for Colorado State University, has been on a tear lately—and some fans think she might’ve had a hand in her dad’s surprise makeover. There’s no solid report to back that up, of course, but it’s one of the more entertaining rumors making the rounds.
But that’s not the only thing people are guessing about. As soon as the picture dropped, netizens quickly jumped into the comments with reactions to the 10-time WWE champ and former UFC heavyweight king’s new look. The fans had hilarious banter, wild takes, and everything in between. So let’s check out some of the stuff people are saying.
Fans react to Brock Lesnar’s long hair and full beard look
A user quickly saw Lesnar resembling a video game character and wrote, “He looks like jacked Arthur Morgan from Red Dead 2.” The user here is referencing a character named Arthur Morgan, who is the main protagonist of the game Red Dead Redemption 2, produced by Rockstar Games. Morgan also has a similar appearance to Lesnar in the photo. The only difference is that the WWE star is way more muscular.
After that, a user speculated about the change in his features, writing, “Brock started growing out his hair as a dare from his daughter and the man is still committed to the bit.” That might be true, but there’s no confirmation on it yet. Another user just didn’t understand the change and wrote, “What a strange man.” Those who are used to seeing Lesnar with a buzz cut definitely cannot relate to this sudden change.
Another one took a hilarious dig, writing, “Living in the middle of nowhere, Saskatchewan will do that to people.” Brock Lesnar lives in Saskatchewan, Canada, in an area that’s a bit far from town. The joke is that maybe he couldn’t find a salon to cut his hair. That comment was then followed up with, “That and having enough F– You Money to not actually deal with people unless you really want to.” The user was implying that Lesnar’s more introverted personality might be the real reason behind it.
A fan didn’t hesitate to drop another hilarious comment: “Otis big uncle Viking Icelandic Nordic Eskimo.” The user was basically comparing Lesnar’s look to that of a Viking raider from Norway, known for their big beards and long hair. They also mentioned Otis, another WWE wrestler who sports a similar beard but with much less hair. So, the user was drawing a connection between the two.
Whatever the reason might be, one thing’s for sure, Brock Lesnar’s new look has definitely brought him back into the spotlight. Fans have been waiting for his comeback ever since SummerSlam 2023. With that said, do you think Mya Lesnar was actually behind this change? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
