Brock Lesnar has opened up about his struggles with anxiety as a WWE Superstar

Brock Lesnar has spoken in a rare out of character interview about his struggles with anxiety as a WWE Superstar.

Brock Lesnar, for the longest time, has had the perception of being a characterless fighter, which are both very much linked to his runs in WWE and UFC.

However, Lesnar has shown off in the last few months with his new character that he is much more than that, and is actually one of the funniest members of the WWE roster.

Now, in a new interview with Pat McAfee, Lesnar has humanised himself once again, detailing his battles with anxiety.

Speaking on the SmackDown commentator’s podcast, Lesnar spoke about how he often deals with anxiety when performing at WWE shows, via WrestlingInc:

“I have a total crash after being in front of audiences. Like, I go hibernate in Saskatchewan. Like, my downers – like, the anxiety from that – like, takes me a few days to recover. Forever, yeah it’s been that way. Like, I used to be on – have big wrestling matches in high school and – like, to come down from big arenas it’s like, I get nervous around people and I’m awkward as f*ck. Yeah, but I’m putting on a show.

Lesnar explained that he isn’t exactly a people person, and likes to “be left the f*ck alone”:

“Like I’ve got to go through all this thing, and that’s just who I am. I like to go and just get away from the people. And it’s not that I dislike people. I mean, it’s not been that way, but some people, yeah, I don’t like. I just like to be left the f*ck alone, and because I’m like – like, I’m in front of an audience then it just exhausts me. And so I’ve got to go and like, recharge up.

Lesnar, like he has been since his 2002 debut, is still right at the very top of WWE, and is challenging for the WWE Championship at
