The sight of Brock Lesnar launching another human around a squared-circle will never not be awesome.

That being said, the 'Beast Incarnate's once-effective gimmick of sporadically rocking up to Raw or SmackDown, obliterating some unfortunate full-timers, and silently dancing around the ring whilst Paul Heyman did his talking for him, had worn a little thin by WrestleMania 36.

So, when a ponytail-boasting Brock did make a shocking comeback on the night of SummerSlam 2021, the idea of the returning former UFC Heavyweight Champion once again clashing with Heyman's new client Roman Reigns didn't immediately get pulses racing.

Little did fans know, that new facial hair and top knot weren't the only things different about this familiar foe.

During his time away, Brock had actually hilariously embraced his inner cowboy, with the still rather terrifying force of nature gradually morphing into one of the coolest protagonists in wrestling after eventually donning a cool new hat and reminding folks that he was secretly one of the finest talkers on the roster.

Cowboy Brock clearly had the time of his damn life organically popping the crowd and showing the world how effortlessly he could step into the role of undeniably awesome babyface. And it was a hell of a ride while it lasted.
