Why did Brock Lesnar punch former Universal Champion for real in their match 6 years ago?

Brock Lesnar punched a WWE Superstar for real in a match six years ago. This happened at the 2018 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. The Beast Incarnate was defending his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and Kane.

The Beast's clash against two monsters guaranteed an action-packed contest. However, a real incident resulted in Brock Lesnar punching Braun Strowman in the face.

Strowman revealed all the details in an interview with Chris Van Vliet. During the match, The Monster Among Men got lost in the moment and started getting rough with Brock Lesnar. The former Universal Champion kneed The Beast Incarnate which resulted in the latter punching him in the face for real.

"I got a little overzealous with him, and he had to check me. And that's just, at the end of the day, it's two big, dominant dudes out there going at it and things happen. This ain’t ballet. I stiffed him on accident with a knee, and he wasn't happy with it. So he clobbered me on the side of the head. And I like to think I'm the only human on Earth that's ever taken a right hand for Brock that didn't go night-night. I went 20 more minutes in the match. It didn't feel good. I mean, you see the slow motion my skull moves, and then the skin catches up."

Brock Lesnar hasn't been seen on WWE TV since last year's Royal Rumble. He was rumored to have faced Dominik Mysterio at the Elimination Chamber but was removed from the show after his name was revealed in the Vince McMahon scandal.

While some may feel Brock Lesnar is done with WWE, Triple H in an interview with Mail Sport said he is open to a conversation if the Beast incarnate is interested.

“If and when he decides that he would like to do something, we’d be open to the conversation, but we’ll see.”

The former Universal Champion is very private and inactive on social networking platforms. However, there have been a few pictures of him that have circulated online during his absence from the ring. The Beast Incarnate now seems to have taken a break from his career.

There are a few instances where he has been seen watching his kids participate in their respective sports. The former WWE Champion is enjoying his life being just a father and spending time with his kids in their important years.
