Samoa Joe recalled his 2017 match against Brock Lesnar at WWE's Great Ball of Fire show.
At the premium live event, Lesnar retained his Universal Championship over the current Ring of Honor World Television Champion in a highly anticipated match that ended within the 6:25 minute mark.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Joe spoke about his match against Lesnar. He also recalled his SummerSlam Fatal Four Way Match featuring Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns from the same year.
"Sometimes you feel that vibe. You hit that nice symbiosis with the crowd. They’re into it. You’re feeling it in the ring. The competitiveness is amping up. Sometimes, you don’t know until you get to the back and reassess. Then there are nights when it’s just undeniable, and that’s what happened on the nights you just mentioned," said Joe.

Brock Lesnar is currently set to compete in yet another SummerSlam main event
The Beast Incarnate will challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of SummerSlam 2022. He will cross paths with arch-rival Roman Reigns yet again, but this time it will be a Last Man Standing match.
The two men previously met at this year's WrestleMania 38, headlining the show on Night 2. The Tribal Chief walked out with two world championships that night, dethroning Lesnar as the WWE Champion.
Over the past couple of days, several reports have suggested that Brock Lesnar was unhappy following Vince McMahon's shocking retirement announcement. He also seemingly walked out before an episode of SmackDown.
However, The Beast Incarnate indeed appeared on WWE TV and took out the Money in the Bank briefcase holder, Theory, in the closing segment of SmackDown.
Lesnar vs. Reigns for SummerSlam 2022 is still currently on the card. It could also be the former UFC star's final shot at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
