Braun Strowman Remembers Getting Punched By Brock Lesnar
One of the World Championship matches that were booked in the Royal Rumble 2018 pay per view event was a triple threat match for the WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship where the champion Brock Lesnar defended his title against Braun Strowman and Kane.
Kane was featured in this match so that he could take the pin. The actual feud was between Brock Lesnar and Strowman. But the feud did not continue for long as Lesnar started a new feud with Roman Reigns and Strowman went on to feud for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship.
Braun Strowman who is also a former two times WWE Intercontinental Champion recently spoke to BT Sport where he talked about getting punched by Brock Lesnar during their WWE Universal championship match that took place at Royal Rumble 2018 pay per view event. He said;
“Sh*t got real! I mean at the end of the day it’s two scary guys, two dominant males not wanting to give an inch to either one and we took it from each other. Things happen, we’re not playing, we’re not ballet, we’re not badminton.
“We’re physical, he’s 300lbs, of just unadulterated animalistic beast and I’m a 385lbs monster. Things happen. At the end of the day, we made one hell of a segment, that’s what really happened.”
“I pat myself on the back, I think I’m the only person in history to take an overhand right from Brock Lesnar and not get knocked out. Anytime you get in the ring with The Beast and mix it up, the bigger the challenge the better. If you’re not wrestling the best, then who’d you beat?”
