In a recent interview on the “2 Bears 1 Cave” podcast, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes made a bold prediction about the future of WWE, stating that Jacob Henry, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, could become the next Brock Lesnar. Rhodes’ comments have sparked excitement among wrestling fans, who are eager to see if Jacob can live up to his father’s legacy and follow in the footsteps of the legendary WWE star.
“His son has got a preliminary contract with us, Jacob,” said Rhodes. “His son, Jacob, is probably gonna Brock Lesnar us all when he does arrive. We are all looking forward to it.”
While Jacob has not yet stepped into a professional wrestling ring, he has been making waves in the world of amateur wrestling and football, much like Lesnar did before him.
WWE announced in August 2024 that Jacob, a University of Oklahoma student, had signed a deal with the company, although the details of the contract and his expected debut date are still unclear.
The Next Brock Lesnar?
Over the years, several wrestlers have been labeled as the “next Brock Lesnar,” including former WWE star Parker Boudreaux and Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson. However, none of these wrestlers have been able to deliver on their early promise and live up to the hype surrounding Lesnar.
Rhodes’ prediction that Jacob could become the next Lesnar is significant, given his own experience and success in the wrestling world. As the current Undisputed WWE Champion, Rhodes is well-positioned to recognize talent and potential, and his endorsement of Jacob is likely to generate a lot of excitement among wrestling fans.

A Second-Generation Superstar
As the son of a WWE Hall of Famer, Jacob Henry has a lot to live up to. However, with his background in amateur wrestling and football, he appears to have the skills and athleticism to succeed in the wrestling world.
Mark Henry is widely considered one of the strongest wrestlers of all time, known for his incredible feats of strength and power. If he can harness his father’s strength and power, combined with his own unique style and charisma, Jacob could become a major force in WWE.
While it’s still early days for Jacob, the fact that he has already signed a deal with WWE and has the endorsement of Cody Rhodes suggests that he has a bright future ahead of him. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Jacob can step into the ring and live up to his father’s legacy, and potentially become the next Brock Lesnar.
