#1 Brock Lesnar gives it back to Braun Strowman with full force

Brock Lesnar met Kane and Braun Strowman in a Universal title Triple Threat match at the 2018 WWE Royal Rumble PPV. At one point during the match, things got real pretty quick as Strowman seemed to hit Lesnar with a stiff knee to the face. Lesnar, completely taken aback by this very-real shot, decided to give it back to Strowman. Moments later, Lesnar punched Strowman right in the face.

The match ended with Lesnar coming out the victor and still the WWE Universal Champion. The incident made waves on social media, and Strowman went on to recall what happened backstage after the sequence.

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.

The incident was a clear signal from Lesnar that he wouldn't mind roughing a Superstar up if they decided to get real with him during a match.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
