WWE Rumor Roundup- Released superstar's stunning comeback, The Rock's return opponent revealed, Brock Lesnar credited for saving a wrestler's life (13th June 2021)

#2. Former WWE star reveals how Brock Lesnar saved his life

Former WWE superstar Zach Gowen was a guest on the Rewind Recap Relive podcast, where he opened up about his feud with Brock Lesnar.

Gowen was the first and only one-legged competitor in the WWE. He faced a few massive names during his yearlong stint with the company. Gowen's storyline with Brock Lesnar is particularly remembered for the Beast Incarnate's sheer ruthlessness. Lesnar even tossed the amputee wrestler down the stairs as part of the WWE TV angle.

Zach Gowen faced Brock Lesnar in a singles match on the SmackDown episode of August 19, 2003. Gowen got absolutely brutalized that evening.

Gowen revealed that he legitimately got knocked out from a powerbomb during the match, and the situation could have gone awry had it not been for Lesnar's presence of mind.

The original plan was for Lesnar to deliver three powerbombs, but the former WWE champion quickly realized something was not right with Gowen.

Lesnar felt Gowen's body go limp so he didn't execute the third powerbomb, releasing him instead:

"He was supposed to give me three powerbombs, like a triple powerbomb where you hold on, and then after two, he felt I got knocked out. Like he felt my body go limp for a second. I hit the back of my head on the mat. I was knocked out on the powerbomb. It was supposed to be three, but he felt that I was in danger, so he just let me go. He might've saved my life if we're being 100% honest at that point," said Gowen. (H/T SeScoops)

Brock Lesnar was still new to the wrestling business back in 2003. While he might have been green early on, the Beast Incarnate thankfully always possessed sound in-ring awareness.
