The heartbreak took some time to set in here, as most people in the building (and those watching at home on pay-per-view or the new WWE Network) sat in utter disbelief that it had even happened at first. Brock Lesnar had hit another of a series of F5s, and went for a pin where fans were totally shocked to hear a third slap of the referee's hand on the mat.

Most assumed it was a mistake, or that they'd misheard, or that some kind of Dusty Finish was afoot; the moment wasn't confirmed to be the heartbreaker we all know today until the Superdome scoreboard flashed the updated win-loss record of 21-1.
