For his part, Lesnar took a moment to acknowledge the raging fans, nodding in appreciation before ultimately leaving the ring. It was a rare sight to see the crowd pay one of the most prolific combat athletes of all time such respect and gratitude after a loss.

The wrestling community has long admired Lesnar for his showmanship, tenacity, and uncanny athletic ability, especially for a man his size. An absolute unit, as some people say, Lesnar is a former NCAA wrestling champion that transitioned to the world of professional wrestling in 2002. Lesnar also had a successful time in mixed martial arts, even winning the UFC Heavyweight Championship in 2008, among other things.

WWE fans are still discussing the ending to WWE Backlash given Lesnar's defeat. Most assumed the WWE would squeeze at least two more PPV events between the two, culminating in a clash at SummerSlam in August if only to

lengthen Roman Reigns' championship reign

(pun intended).

Regardless, the standing ovation was a clear indication of their continued support. The event showed that even in the face of adversity, Brock Lesnar's legacy remains strong, and fans are

eager to see what the future holds for the wrestler

Speaking of Backlash, the most recent WWE PPV event saw the return of Carlito. It's now believed that the Puerto Rican wrestler is

open to signing with the WWE again
