Braun Strowman Reveals What Happened Backstage After Brock Lesnar Punch At WWE Royal Rumble 2018

Early into the Universal title match between Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman and Kane at the 2018 Royal Rumble pay-per-view, The Monster Among Men delivered a stiff knee to the side of The Beast's head.

A fired-up Lesnar handed the worst possible receipt to Strowman, delivering a straight right hand to the face.

Braun has been speaking to

recently and has revealed what happened when he got backstage and saw Brock: “We laughed about it afterwards,” Strowman said.

“It is what it is. 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. Ask anybody’s that’s worked with him. Brock brings the big fight and that’s why people pay money to see him."
