Brock Lesnar is undoubtedly one of the most dominant pro wrestlers to have ever competed inside the squared circle. He had two tremendous runs in WWE, both of which resulted in him winning major World Championships and being a huge draw for fans. Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE television ever since he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 last year. Brock Lesnar was forced to start a WWE tag team as well.
Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre recalled the “heart-stopping moment” when Brock Lesnar eliminated Braun Strowman and Keith Lee, and almost himself during last year’s Royal Rumble match in his latest book, A Chosen Destiny.
“In came Keith Lee and Braun Strowman, but they started to fight each other instead of Brock and he seized the chance to hurl them both over the ropes together. Watching backstage, that was a heart-stopping moment for me. When Brock went to take out Keith Lee and Braun Strowman, he grabbed them both around the legs and hoisted them over the ropes with such momentum that he nearly went over and eliminated himself.”
“Imagine . . . There have been occasions when people accidentally got eliminated. Things have gone wrong, many times. Brock went right over the ropes with those two but saved himself and bounced himself back onto the canvas.”
“The anticipation inside Minute Maid Park was reaching hysteria. Whoever eliminated Brock Lesnar was going to win over the fans big-time, and that person was due to be the sixteenth man in the ring: one Drew McIntyre. If Brock had eliminated himself, that would have stuffed my triumphant storyline!”
