Lesnar has shown a more light-hearted side to his menacing on-screen persona in recent months. The WWE Champion even told a knock-knock joke to Bobby Lashley on last week’s episode of RAW, ending with the punchline, “Bobby who? Exactly.”
Speaking on his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, WCW legend Konnan questioned why WWE shows a giant graphic of Lesnar’s sword tattoo during his entrance. He also critiqued the former UFC Heavyweight Champion’s recent attempts at humor:
Lesnar will defend the WWE Championship against Lashley in a first-time-ever singles match between the two heavyweights at the Royal Rumble on January 29.
Konnan has enjoyed the Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns rivalry
Roman Reigns’ positive COVID-19 result forced the company to cancel his planned match against Brock Lesnar at WWE Day 1 earlier this month. The Beast Incarnate still competed at the event, winning the WWE Championship from Big E in a Fatal 5-Way match.
Overall, Konnan admitted that he is a fan of the Lesnar vs. Reigns storyline, especially the interactions both men have had with Paul Heyman:
As things stand, Heyman currently represents Lesnar as his advocate. The former ECW owner previously worked as Reigns’ special counsel and has dropped hints recently that he still has allegiances to the Universal Champion.
