5 Times WWE Superstars apologized for hurting an opponent

#1 Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar apologized to each other in WWE

The WWE Universal Championship match at the 2018 Royal Rumble is best remembered for Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar legitimately coming to blows.

Lesnar defeated Strowman and Kane to retain his title in a 10-minute match. In the early stages of the physical encounter, The Monster Among Men caught Lesnar in the jaw with a strong knee strike. Seconds later, The Beast Incarnate retaliated by deliberately punching Strowman in the head.

The one-time WWE Universal Champion later told talkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy that he exchanged apologies with Lesnar after the match.

“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. We’re both grown-ups, we both knew what we were getting into,” Strowman said.

Braun Strowman went on to say that he and Brock Lesnar are dominant males who did not want to let the other gain the upper hand. Ultimately, both superstars’ real-life aggression overcame them during their in-ring battle, but they quickly resolved the issue backstage.
