Back in mid-2003, Brock Lesnar had turned heel on Kurt Angle on an episode of SmackDown, joining forces with Vince McMahon in the process. The Beast went on to have a short-lived feud with Zach Gowen, a one-legged guy who was already feuding with McMahon on the Blue brand. On the August 19, 2003 taping of SmackDown, Lesnar faced Zach Gowen, with the latter's mother watching the match from ringside.

For the next 10 minutes or so, Lesnar destroyed Gowen with a series of devastating moves, including his signature move, F5. Lesnar headbutted Gowen several times and hit him with several chair shots. As Gowen was being stretchered out, Lesnar threw him off the stretcher to a chorus of boos. The vicious beatdown was instrumental in Lesnar gaining massive heel heat at the time. Lesnar went on to lose a WWE title match to Kurt Angle at SummerSlam, even though Vince McMahon tried his best to help Lesnar win the contest. Gowen lasted a few more months on the main roster, before being released.
