Rip Rogers says Brock Lesnar once "backhanded" a fellow wrestler after being on the receiving end of a locker room joke.
Lesnar was trained by Rogers in WWE's former developmental system Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), between 2000 and 2002. OVW boasted several future main-eventers at the time, including Batista, John Cena, and Randy Orton. Another lesser-known wrestler, Vivacious Charles, was also part of the roster.
On Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, Rogers revealed what happened when Charles attempted to joke around with The Beast Incarnate:
"This guy named Vivacious Charles just ribbed [pranked] Brock about something. Brock just stood up and backhanded him. Boom. Charles was on the ground about ready to cry. His jaw's broke." [1:11:50 – 1:12:01]

Rip Rogers knew not to mess with Brock Lesnar
Locker room "ribbing" has been common in the wrestling business for decades. While many wrestlers enjoy playing pranks behind the scenes, others get frustrated when certain jokes go too far.
Rip Rogers did not disclose what Vivacious Charles did to upset Brock Lesnar. However, he realized after the incident that The Beast Incarnate was not the right person to mess around with backstage:
"I said, 'Brock, he's just ribbing you,'" Rogers continued. "He goes, 'What's that?' I said, 'Oh God.' I wasn't gonna ruffle his feathers, oh hell no!" [1:12:02 – 1:12:17]
