5 Brutal Brock Lesnar moments in WWE

#4 Brock Lesnar legitimately punch Braun Strowman at WWE Royal Rumble 2018

Royal Rumble 2018 saw a triple threat match for the WWE Universal Championship with ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar putting his title on the line against Kane and Braun Strowman.

At one point during the match, we saw Braun Strowman hit Brock Lesnar with an errant knee strike to the jaw, which was clearly a little reckless but still unintentional. Lesnar was incensed, and in return, clocked Braun Strowman with a right hand in the side of the head. Strowman got rocked but managed to stay on his feet.

While on the face of it, what Brock Lesnar did here may not be as violent as some of the others on this list, Brock’s punch was totally unscripted and could have legitimately knocked Braun Strowman out. It would have been an absolute disaster if Lesnar had knocked out Strowman during the match.

Speaking in an interview later, Strowman revealed what happened backstage after the incident:

We laughed about it afterwards. It is what it is. We got to the back and I said ‘Hey, my bad” he said the same thing and we went about our business.
