Brock Lesnar is not often seen laughing and he is all business inside the ring. It was a rare thing during his heel run previously. The veteran WWE star R-Truth recently revealed how he got involved in a bet to make Lesnar laugh during a segment. R-Truth also recently revealed what WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon did.
R-Truth made Brock Lesnar pop
In January 2020, R-Truth and Lesnar met in the middle of the ring for a promo segment where Truth declared, and then undeclared, for the WWE Royal Rumble match. Truth ended up making Lesnar laugh in the promo as he thought he would be going up against Paul Heyman, not Lesnar, in the Rumble. Also to be noted, a former WWE had star demanded the contract of Lesnar.
Speaking to Ryan Satin on Out of Character, Truth reflected on the segment and revealed that Lesnar was not aware about what Truth will be saying during the segment. He revealed having a bet, if Truth could make Lesnar laugh. Eventually, the former United States Champion was successful in making Lesnar laugh. They also had a great moment backstage following the segment:
“The thing about that is they didn’t want Brock to know what I was going to say. I’m like, ‘I feel like, personally, Brock should know what I’m going to say.’ Paul was like, ‘No Truth, we got a bet going, we want to see if you can make him laugh. Can you pop Brock?’ I said, ‘I can make him laugh, but I want him to laugh in a happy way. I don’t want him to turn into Brock Brock.’ I agreed to it and when I saw Brock starting to hold his laugh in, I knew he was going to laugh when I hit the Paul Heyman line because he thought I was talking about him. When I hit it and he laughed, I did all I could to not laugh. Laughing is infectious. When Brock laughed, I tried my best to hold it and I was holding it as much I could. That was one of my best moments. When we got to the back, me and Brock hugged and he was like, ‘that was funny. You’re funny!’ It was a good moment, a good TV segment,” he said.
