WWE credits her as a pioneer who broke barriers for women in the sport. The couple tied the knot in 2006, and Lesnar, in his 2011 memoir Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival, expressed his deep affection for his wife, saying, “I don’t think my wife has ever regretted saying yes.

Sable’s Wrestling Career
Sable made her WWE debut in 1996, quickly rising to prominence. Two years later, she won the Women’s Championship at the 1998 Survivor Series.
Known for her iconic catchphrase, “This is for all the women who want to be me, and the men who come to see me,” she left an indelible mark on the sport.
Sable left WWE in 1999. In 2003, she returned to WWE and was put into a feud with Torrie Wilson, and another storyline as Vince McMahon’s mistress. In 2004, she left the company to spend more time with her family.
The Woman Behind the Persona
Although widely known by her stage name “Sable,” her real name is Rena (formerly Rena Greek and Rena Mero).
Initially, she pursued a modeling career, working with brands like L’Oreal, Guess, and Pepsi.
Despite her successful transition to wrestling, she admitted in a 1999 interview with the Ottawa Sun that she never envisioned herself in the ring. Her WWE character, described as self-absorbed and egotistical, was a stark contrast to her true personality.
Sable enjoyed the freedom of portraying a villain, explaining that playing the “bad guy” allowed her to say or do whatever she wanted, something she found liberating.
Legal Battle with WWE
In 1999, Sable filed a $110 million lawsuit against the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) over allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions.
She claimed she was asked to perform stunts in unsafe conditions, such as jumping from high ropes in heels, and refused to remove her top in the ring. The lawsuit, which was reportedly full of “provably false accusations” according to WWF’s lawyer, was eventually settled out of court.
Past Relationships and Finding Love with Brock Lesnar
Before her relationship with Lesnar, Sable was married two times.
She married Wayne W. Richardson in 1987. They had a daughter named Mariah and remained married until Richardson died in a drunk-driving incident in 1991.
She met her second husband, professional wrestler and former boxer Marc Mero, in 1993. After marrying Mero in 1994, she broke into the wrestling business through WWE. Before the couple divorced in 2004, she began dating Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar’s Proposal and Their Marriage
Lesnar, eager to show his commitment to Sable, broke into her house when she wouldn’t return his calls for two weeks.
He used a neighbor’s screwdriver to enter her home, disabled the alarm, and they spent a week together. Before departing, he proposed to her at the Orlando airport’s waterfall. The couple married in 2006.
How Many Children Do Lesnar and Sable Have?
Sable and Lesnar have two sons together, Turk (born June 3, 2009) and Duke (born July 21, 2010).
Lesnar acknowledged in his memoir that Sable was incredibly supportive, even going through part of her pregnancy alone while he trained for a fight.
Lesnar’s Anniversary Prank
On their fifth wedding anniversary, Lesnar decided to prank Sable by convincing her that their son had swallowed her wedding ring while they were on vacation. He had their house sitter fabricate the story, even producing a fake X-ray image from the internet showing a ring inside a child’s stomach.
For two days, Sable searched through dirty diapers in hopes of finding the ring. Lesnar later surprised her by renewing their wedding vows and presenting her with a new ring as part of the celebration.
Sable’s Playboy Covers and TV Series
Beyond her wrestling career, Sable appeared on the cover of Playboy multiple times. In an interview, she explained that she felt no reservations about posing for the magazine, as it was something she did for herself rather than for public approval.
Outside wrestling, she is considered to be a sex symbol and has been featured on the cover of Playboy three times. The April 1999 issue of the magazine with her on the cover was one of the highest selling issues in Playboy history.
She has guest starred on several TV series, including Pacific Blue, and appeared in the film Corky Romano.
Sable’s Net Worth Details
Sable’s net worth is estimated to be $4 million as of 2025. She gained widespread recognition for her work with the WWF/WWE during the 1990s and early 2000s.
After leaving the WWE, she made headlines by filing a $110 million lawsuit against the organization, citing sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions.
In addition to her wrestling career, Sable has appeared on the cover of Playboy three times and has made guest appearances on various television shows, including Pacific Blue.
