If you create the ultimate fighter in a lab, it'll probably come out looking like Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate, as he's been called for years, has dominated in every combat sport that he's participated in. He's someone who, as they say in the streets, you don't want to mess with. But, Lesnar is also not the sort of wrestler that you'd think would be willing to put another over - except that's exactly what he just did at this year's SummerSlam.
Far from the squash matches that most have come accustomed to seeing from Brock Lesnar, the 46-year-old gave the much-deserved respect to Cody Rhodes following their match at the Hottest Party of the Summer.
Despite suffering a relatively clean loss at the hands of its most recent rival, Lesnar shook the hands of Rhodes, hugged and celebrated him as the winner - a sequence of events that Triple H says wasn't scripted.
Now, we don't know what's more special - seeing Lesnar lose or him elevating the status of another wrestler, personally.
With his actions, Lesnar stole the headlines. He might not have said anything but the former UFC superstar effectively announced to the rest of the WWE and its fans that the second-generation star is well-deserving of being the face of the company - a status that many previously felt like was immediately handed to him.
