The former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar made his much-awaited return to live TV on Monday Night RAW last night. He kicked off the show with a promo, only to get interrupted by Paul Heyman, Theory and eventually Chad Gable and Otis. It seemed that ‘The Beast Incarnate’ had messed up his signature F-5.
Brock Lesnar had botched the move
‘The Beast Incarnate’ sent a message to the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, his opponent at SummerSlam. After Theory, Otis and Chad Gable looked to involve themselves in the segment, he found two willing messengers in The Alpha Academy.
After attacking both men with steel steps and a steel chair, Lesnar picked up Otis and delivered an AA through the announcers’ table. It’s clear that this was supposed to be an F5 since the commentary team announced it as an F5 and WWE also shared a video of the move on their Twitter page.
However, the move ended up resembling John Cena’s finisher, ‘AA’ as Otis crashed through the announcers’ desk on his back and did not get the required spin for ‘F-5’. Usually, Lesnar’s move is close to an AA but there is a spin on it that allows the opponent to land in a flat linear position face down. With the AA, made famous by John Cena, the opponent lands on their back. Otis was likely unable to lift himself up and get the spin he needed to turn the move into an F5.
Roman Reigns has not wrestled on WWE’s last two premium live events and he is set to defend his titles against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam on Saturday, July 30 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennesee.
