#5. Shelton Benjamin reveals the truth about Brock Lesnar's new WWE character
Shelton Benjamin has known Brock Lesnar since their amateur wrestling days, and the former tag team champion recently opened up about his good friend's new character.
Benjamin revealed that Lesnar's character is really close to the superstar's real-life persona. The truth seems to be that Brock Lesnar is just being himself on WWE TV, and fans are thoroughly enjoying his current babyface run.
Benjamin stated that Brock gets highly comfortable around people he likes, and wrestling fans are finally getting to see the real side of the former UFC Champion. Here's what Benjamin had to say about The Beast Incarnate on the "Out of Character" podcast:
"I would say it's the most like he is in real-life amongst people that he likes," said Lesnar. "I tell people all the time, one of the cool things about Brock is you never have to wonder where you stand with him. Because he'll tell you, he'll show you. He either wants nothing to do with you, or you're a good friend. So, what you're seeing to me is Brock when he's relaxed and in amongst friends."
