#3 Corey Graves on his segment with Brock Lesnar on WWE RAW

Brock Lesnar recently left a lasting impression on Corey Graves following a segment they were both in. The RAW commentator was stunned after The Beast Incarnate mockingly asked if he should "get naked" for his weigh-in opposite Bobby Lashley, after turning up in a full cowboy outfit.

Here is what Graves said about his experience on a recent episode of Throwing Down with Renee Paquette and Miesha Tate:

"Brock asked me, very politely by the way, if I would prefer that he get naked. Let me tell you, I'm very rarely intimidated in life and I don't go around looking for a fight, but I've never felt so small in my life when you see a behemoth like Brock Lesnar offer to disrobe on global television. How do you answer that? I'm never at a loss for words," said Corey Graves.

#2 Brock's push for him to look strong in the Royal Rumble Match

Brock Lesnar entered the Royal Rumble Match at #30 and took less than three minutes to eliminate the entire field and win the match. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, it was The Beast Incarnate's call for it to play out like that.

He wanted to book himself strongly heading into his WrestleMania match with Roman Reigns.

“The deal basically with the Rumble was Brock was to murder everybody and that was that. That was probably Brock’s call because it was kind of said to me that Brock was gonna get exactly what he wanted and that was to get himself as strong as possible for the Roman Reigns match. Everybody was supposed to get murdered by him and they all did," said Dave Meltzer.

Brock Lesnar broke WWE's record for the shortest time spent in the Royal Rumble Match before winning it, comfortably usurping Edge's performance when he won in 2010.
