Brock Lesnar took part in a rare meet and greet in Canada, and it turned out to be a major success.
Canada’s Emerald Park Home Hardware advertised WWE star Brock Lesnar for a rare public appearance on Thursday. The event was scheduled to celebrate the store’s 10th anniversary, and plenty of fans showed up to meet the Beast Incarnate.

Lesnar was all smiles as he met with hundreds of fans, even playfully putting one in a side headlock. Lesnar was only scheduled to be two hours long, but the turnout was so big that the line wrapped around the building and down the street.
Brock Lesnar lives near the store on a large farm near Maryfield. He relocated there with his family to escape the spotlight. Just to give an idea of how many people showed up, a 2021 Census listed Emerald Park, Saskatchewan as having a population of 1,553. Lesnar’s appearance likely drew more people than those who live in the town.
Brock Lesnar reveals why he (almost) retired
Brock Lesnar is scheduled to face off with Oba Femi at WWE Clash in Italy this weekend. The contest is a rematch from WrestleMania 42, where Femi beat Lesnar, who indicated that he was retiring.
That didn’t last long, however, as Lesnar made a surprise return, attacking The Ruler to set up a rematch. Lesnar appeared on WWE RAW this week and explained how much the loss to Femi affected him, sharing that it hit him harder than any other one in his career.
“I didn’t quite get the chance to congratulate you last week on your big victory over me at WrestleMania. Congratulations, Oba. Well done. But that victory is going to cost you more than you could ever imagine. Oh, I’ve had my share of a** whoopings over the years, but none quite like that,” Lesnar said.
Lesnar also revealed what made him come back for the match in Italy in the first place.
