talkSPORT recently caught up with Braun Strowman to discuss a wide range of topics and they brought up the fact that Brock Lesnar hit him with a legitimate punch to the head during a Triple Threat match at the 2018
Royal Rumble which also included Kane.
After the Monster Among Men hit Lesnar with a knee that he didn't appreciate, Lesnar hit him with two very real blows to the head and Strowman has now reflected on how that all played out.
"We laughed about it afterwards. It is what it is," he explains. "We got to the back and I said ‘Hey, my bad” he said the same thing and we went about our business. We’re both grown ups, we both knew what we were getting into and at the end of the day, we’re both very dominant males and neither of us wanted to give in an inch, so in the end we took an inch from each other."
"Working with Brock I go in with the mentality that it’s a real fight. You have to. I remember Royal Rumble a couple of years ago, I got a little ants in my pants, so did he and we threw some heavy hitters at each other and carried on from there. Let’s face it, Brock’s one of the baddest human beings on the planet and I enjoy it, I like the physical aspect of it."
"I didn’t get into this thinking it was water polo or tennis or anything like that, I knew this was a full contact sport and when you’re in the ring with Brock Lesnar it is full contact," Strowman continued. "Ask anybody’s that’s worked with him. Brock brings the big fight and that’s why people pay money to see him."
It's hard to imagine many Superstars getting away with throwing two real punches like that during a match but Lesnar is Lesnar and it genuinely seems like Strowman understood why it happened and didn't mind. However, he's lucky he didn't end up with a concussion!
