Brock Lesnar and Tyson Fury were both part of the WWE Crown Jewel 2019 event which was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury faced Braun Strowman while Brock Lesnar squared off against his old nemesis Cain Velasquez. These two clashes were the major draw for the event. Fury flew to Saudi Arabia with the same entourage that he usually brings to boxing matches.
Brock Lesnar was challenged
Tim Allcock, a member of Fury’s team, allegedly risked Brock Lesnar’s wrath by challenging The Beast Incarnate backstage. During a 2019 interview, IFL TV host Kugan Cassius told Tyson Fury’s brother, Tommy, about the event. He also mentioned that Allcock’s behavior was reported.
“He offered out Brock Lesnar. It didn’t go down too well, to be honest with you. It was in the corridor, and Tim was just looking over at Brock Lesnar. I think Brock Lesnar, according to Tim, said to him, ‘What are you looking at?’ and he went, ‘What do you mean what am I looking at? What, do you want a fight or something? Come on, then.’ And then there was a complaint made about Tim over that comment, but Tim was saying, ‘I was ready.’”
After an eight-minute match, Tyron Fury defeated Braun Strowman via count out. Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar retained the WWE Championship against Cain Velasquez in an 88-second match. ‘The Beast Incarnate’ has been away from the company for quite some time. Lesnar is reportedly preparing for a massive return as we inch closer to Royal Rumble 2023. ‘The Beast Incarnate’ had last appeared on Crown Jewel when he faced Bobby Lashley in a singles match. Lesnar initially took a lot of punishment but quickly turned things around with a shockingly easy victory over the All-Mighty. WWE is now preparing to write the latest chapter of the feud between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley.
