Lesnar was truly a living legend in WWE.
Details: After 48-year-old former MMA fighter and now WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar announced his retirement from wrestling following his defeat to Obi Femi at WrestleMania 42, he received a rather unexpected call from Saudi Arabia.

Lesnar admitted that just 15 minutes after the match ended, where he symbolically left his gloves and boots in the ring, he received a call from the legendary Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who congratulated Brock on an outstanding career:
"I was surprised when Ronaldo called and congratulated me for my career within like 15 minutes of the match. I guess greatness recognises greatness," Brock admitted.
Brock Lesnar made his WWE debut back in 2002. He was also a UFC heavyweight champion and holds a professional fighting record of 5-3-1.
