Nick Khan Says Brock Lesnar Is “A Gem to Work With”

Brock Lesnar’s return at Survivor Series WarGames didn’t just fire up the fans—it impressed WWE President Nick Khan in a big way. While Daniel Cormier raved about how dangerous Lesnar looked in the ring, Khan made it clear that working with The Beast behind the scenes is just as remarkable as seeing him perform.

During his appearance on Daniel Cormier TV, Khan responded directly to Cormier’s reaction to Lesnar’s physical condition and presence. That’s when Khan peeled back the curtain and explained what Brock is really like when the cameras are off.

After Cormier talked about seeing Lesnar look more intimidating than ever, Khan followed up with rare insight into the backstage reality:

“When he walks into a room, he looks and usually is the baddest dude on the planet. And that’s what he looks like, and that’s his personification. By the way, he’s a gem to work with. Easy. So, as long as he sort of knows things in advance, there’s no issues. We’re honored to have him back. I’m happy he’s here.”

Khan doubled down on just how impactful Lesnar is to WWE’s current product. According to him, Brock doesn’t just look the part—he still elevates every moment he’s involved in. Even his entrance at WarGames stood out as a reminder of why he’s one of WWE’s most explosive attractions.

Lesnar may be known for destruction, chaos, and dominating opponents, but behind the scenes, Khan wants fans to understand there’s another side: reliable, respectful, and committed to delivering when WWE needs him most.

Nick Khan putting that level of respect on Brock’s name shows just how valuable he remains to WWE in and out of the ring.
