How WWE star responded after finding out his wife was cheating with Brock Lesnar

WWE star Marc Mero wanted to go after the man who his wife was cheating on him with - until he found out it was the absolute specimen that is Brock Lesnar.

Mero was married to fellow WWE wrestler Sable for a decade, even adopting her daughter from a previous marriage to Wayne Richardson.

Sable left WWE on bad terms back in 1999 and filed a $110 million lawsuit against the company.

However the former women's champion returned in 2003 after patching things up, though Mero was not with the company.

He was looking after daughter Mariah while Sable was on the road but with communication becoming less frequent, he grew suspicious.

Knowing her passwords, the former Intercontinental champion stumbled across a voicemail from another wrestler and the content of the message revealed that they were together.

Understandably, Mero was livid and wanted to find out who the individual was.

Speaking on the Steve Austin Show, he said: "I remember thinking, 'something's going on. She [has] got to be seeing someone.' So I remember, she didn't answer the phone one night, so I really cut this promo on her cell phone and I was like, 'how could you do this, not answer your phone? We had an agreement that we talk at night.'

"I hung up the phone and I thought, 'what a jackass I am. Why would I do that? She's out there trying to earn a living. She's out there doing something she loves.

"So I think I called back her phone. I knew her password because we were that close. We knew each other's passwords and stuff. So I thought, 'let me delete this before she hears it, right?'.

"So I called back her number and punched in her code. It says, 'you have two unheard messages.' And okay, I have to listen to the first one to get to mine and it was another wrestler talking about them two.

"And I was like, 'oh my God,' Steve, I'll tell you, we've all been in this position before. My heart was broken. You can't sleep, you can't eat, you're sweating.

"I remember thinking, 'when I find out who this guy is, I'm going to kick the living tar out of this man!'"

However, Mero's tune quickly changed when he learned that his wife's bit on the side was a 6 ft 3 and 295lbs behemoth who is a NCAA and UFC Champion.

Mero and Sable divorced shortly after and both later remarried, with the former Playboy cover star having two kids with Lesnar.

He added: "And then, I found out it was Brock Lesnar! Steve, this gives forgiveness a whole new meaning! Our marriage was over. We ended up getting divorced, but God bless them! They got married. They have kids. They live a happy life and kudos, man!"

Mero, meanwhile has remained positive and found success as a motivational speaker.
