Brock Lesnar is one of the most aggressive professional wrestlers of all time. Many regard him as an indomitable force who has the potential to take on anyone in a real fight as well. The Beast Incarnate has been a former UFC Champion with an incredible 5 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no-contest record, making him a dominant fighter of this generation.
Standing at an imposing 6’3″ and weighing over 286 pounds, he is a dominant force in professional wrestling. Yet, a few stars in the industry still have the potential to challenge the former WWE Champion in a real-life fight. In such a setting, there are no rules or regulations, meaning anything could happen.
Therefore, let’s take a look at three AEW stars who have a chance of defeating Brock Lesnar in a real fight:
#3. Wardlow
Wardlow has an incredible stature of 6’2″ and weighs around 260 pounds. His physique closely matches that of Brock Lesnar, making him a tough opponent for The Beast Incarnate. With a background in amateur wrestling, the AEW star has the potential to take on Lesnar in a real-life fight. The former TNT Champion has showcased his incredible strength multiple times on-screen in All Elite Wrestling.
Additionally, his age of 37 gives him an edge over Lesnar, who is 48. However, Wardlow does not have a tested MMA record, which makes him inexperienced against the former Universal Champion. However, with past experience in Boxing and Jiu-Jitsu, Mr. Mayhem has the potential even to take down The Beast Incarnate.
