Triple H recalls "audible groans" when Brock Lesnar vs. Omos was first pitched for WrestleMania 

WWE's Chief Content Officer Triple H recently spoke about the initial backlash when the company floated the idea of Brock Lesnar vs. Omos for WrestleMania 39.

In the buildup to WrestleMania, there were several rumors surrounding Brock Lesnar's opponent. Some fans even speculated that The Beast may have a dream match with Gunther, feuding for the Intercontinental Championship. Around Elimination Chamber, Bray Wyatt issued a challenge to the winner of Bobby Lashley vs. Brock. This got some fans talking about another high-profile matchup. However, WWE went with Omos vs. Brock Lesnar instead, with the match being featured on Night 2 of the Showcase of Immortals.

During the WrestleMania Sunday Press Conference, Hunter recalled how there was some resistance when WWE announced Brock vs. Omos. He detailed that the match delivered at every level. The Game suggested that despite being one of the shorter matches of the night, the bout caught people's attention and went beyond expectations.

"You had Brock and Omos tonight. Completely different from anything else that you saw tonight. You know, some people, when that match was first brought up, there were some audible groans on it maybe, right? But it delivered. To me, it was a spectacle and it delivered. It caught people's attention and it made them stop and see it. It did what it needed to do." [From 26:11 - 26:40]
