Brock Lesnar was one of Cody Rhodes‘ biggest rivals ever since the latter’s return to WWE. The Beast Incarnate was also arguably his second-most challenging feud after The Bloodline. The WWE Undisputed Champion recently revealed that the former MMA star gave him a special gift shortly after their trilogy of matches ended.
Speaking on Flagrant, The American Nightmare revealed that shortly after their feud ended in 2023, the Conqueror sent him an entire cow’s worth of steaks from his farm in Canada. Brock Lesnar also took a photo of himself with the cow, and he was someone who truly enjoyed farming. Cody Rhodes said that Lesnar had built his reputation as one of the most premiere athletes on the planet who could take anybody out at the drop of a hat.
However, his professionalism and understanding of what others wanted were some of the most underrated things about him. He was professional with the 39-year-old throughout their interactions, and the former AEW EVP felt blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with him. I hope you are not mad at me for sharing this, but he sent me an entire cow worth of steaks.

I did get to tell him one thing before Bad Blood in Atlanta, which to me is the thing every wrestler wants to hear, ‘Thank you for the house. ’ Tickets were really good for Atlanta.
We sold out, then we sold out again because you open up and open up when he was introduced to the fray. I got that moment. I got nothing back.
