Why did Shane McMahon allegedly go after Brock Lesnar backstage at WrestleMania in 2018? Details behind the incident

One of the superstars present at WWE WrestleMania 34 was Brock Lesnar, who headlined the event alongside Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. However, the aftermath of the match almost saw The Beast Incarnate clash with another notable name, Shane McMahon.

At the 2018 WrestleMania event, The Beast Incarnate was upset despite defeating The Tribal Chief. This came after fans in attendance visibly expressed their negative reactions to the match. The former UFC fighter then made sure to also express his own negative feelings when he reached backstage, throwing the Universal Title at Vince McMahon, who was sitting in gorilla position at the time.

WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg, who was sitting beside Vince, recalled the moment on his podcast. He shared that Shane McMahon wanted to go after Brock after the incident. However, Brian James prevented that from happening.

"I remember Shane being in gorilla and being hot and trying to go after Brock. I said, 'Let it go.' You know what I mean? Let's just stay right here, and all keep our teeth."

The WWE Hall of Famer then added that he was even almost hit by the title due to its rotation. Still, he also shared that Lesnar had good aim and didn't really intend to hit anybody, not even Vince. He stated that Brock threw it in Vince's direction but didn't really aim it at him, which is why the title landed on the table instead, in front of the 77-year-old.

Shane McMahon and Brock Lesnar were also present at this year's WrestleMania

From what it looks like, the altercation between Lesnar and McMahon has since smoothened over. Both stars were even present at this year's Show of Shows, although they had completely different outcomes.

Brock Lesnar opened the Night 2 of WrestleMania 39 against The Nigerian Giant Omos. In a quick five-minute bout, the former Universal Champion came out victorious.

Shane was also present for the second night of the event but as a surprise star. After more than a year, Shane emerged to challenge host The Miz to an impromptu match. Unfortunately, the returning star suffered a torn quad almost immediately and was helped out of the ring.

Co-host Snoop Dogg did some quick thinking and took Shane's place. He successfully "fought" The A-Lister, even hitting him with The People's Elbow to pin him, much to the fans' delight.
