The rivalry between the two titans was highlighted during the premium live event, where both men brawled it out inside the devil’s playground. It instantly became one of WWE’s most memorable matches as it was well received by fans and pundits alike.

The bout received quite a bit of controversy, as both men wore the infamous crimson mask. Lesnar’s head bled profusely, and a medic was brought in during the fight. However, in another off-script fit, The Beast attacked the medic as well.

It was believed that Vince McMahon was livid at the time for he knew that the guidelines the company usually abides by, had been violated.

Lesnar was the 12th man to enter during the multiple-man match and many were expecting that he’d go the distance or even win the 30-man brawl. However, to everyone’s shock, Lesnar got eliminated by Bobby Lashley with just over two minutes spent inside the ring.

He was so enraged with what happened that he took off the top of the announcer's table, slammed a part of the steel steps onto it, and shoved the referee over the barricade, which was not part of the script.

Another instance was during this year’s Elimination Chamber. The match ended in disqualification after Brock Lesnar delivered a low blow to Lashley. He would later perform an F5 on both The All Mighty and the referee.

Those F5s were part of the script, however Lesnar additionally delivered a second F5 to the ref on a broken announcer's table, which wasn't.

During an episode of RAW, Lesnar was inside the ring after deeming to bring legitimacy back to WWE. Cena’s music then played as he showed up to confront the Beast before slapping him.

The off-script moment came when Cena was sent to the canvas and Lesnar repeatedly punched the 16-time champ. This resulted in the Cena’s mouth gushing with blood as they got separated by the red brand’s entire locker room.

Come Extreme Rules, and that familiar crimson hue was also seen on Cena during the match. Despite the predicament, Cena went on to win the match.
