Fans can argue the ins and outs of that nickname, but one thing is for certain: Brock Lesnar has become a regular highlight on WWE telly due to his multi-faceted personality. One minute, he's laid back and borderline goofy. The next, he's the familiar wrecking machine of old.

Many were worried when WWE pulled Paul Heyman from Brock's side and asked the largely mute brawler to start fighting his own corner on the microphone. Somewhat remarkably, Lesnar has been a revelation on the stick. He's cutting the absolute best promos of his entire pro wrestling career, and seems relaxed.

It also always seems like something newsworthy will happen whenever Brock is advertised for a show. He has a star power which few others on the roster can match, and he's successfully retained the element of danger despite hamming it up during 'Mania season.

Brock Lesnar in a cowboy hat. What else will 2022 throw up?
