Corey Graves recently shared his honest opinion on the Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley match at the Royal Rumble.
The two behemoths went to war at the premium live event last weekend. In the end, Roman Reigns cost Brock Lesnar the bout. The Tribal Chief struck the Beast with the WWE Championship. Lashley subsequently pinned Lesnar to win the title and kick off his second reign with the gold.
Graves spoke about the hard-hitting affair this week on his After the Bell podcast. He stated that it was hard to see the two men bashing each other in the ring. The WWE commentator also mentioned that he did not have the stomach to see Lashley taking several German Suplexes at the hands of Lesnar.
"In my opinion, it did not disappoint," said Graves. "However, it didn't satiate my need. What we saw for a brief period of time was Bobby and Brock living up to the hype - two big badasses. Watching Brock Lesnar German Suplex Bobby Lashley on his neck about 11 times was hard to watch. I was cringing each and every time. But Bobby kept getting back up, and we were like, okay here we go. This is a throwdown." (From 12:27 onwards)
Given the way Reigns' interference influenced the outcome, many fans are hoping to see Lesnar and Lashley face off again at some point soon. Time will tell whether the powerhouses face off again.
