The former WWE star Ryback recently spoke about the reports that emerged regarding Brock Lesnar. It stated that he and ‘The Beast Incarnate’ were involved in a real-life altercation backstage in WWE. It was back in 2012, that the report emerged (H/T Bleacher Report) that Lesnar left a WWE arena early after a physical confrontation with Ryback before a show. At the time, it was unclear if the rumor was an internet hoax or whether the incident really happened.
Ryback snubs the rumor of having a tiff with Brock Lesnar
Speaking on The Ryback TV, the one-time Intercontinental Champion confirmed that the alleged fight never took place. Ryback also clarified that the eye injury he sustained in the summer of 2012 was given to him by former WWE star Camacho:
“It [the rumor] was done to try to hurt my credibility with the fans that, ‘Big bad Ryback isn’t so big, bad and tough.’ That altercation never even happened. Me and Brock get along great. I got hit in my eye by Haku’s kid Donny Marlow [Camacho], as I know him as in Florida Championship Wrestling.”
Ryback further stated that rumors about Brock Lesnar injuring him were simply untrue:
“He [Camacho] had to knock me off my feet in a pay-per-view match, and he forearmed me and it got me straight in the eye. It blackened up. From that, I got the black eye, the red eye. Someone came up with a story that I got beat up by Brock Lesnar. I didn’t even know that story was going around for the longest time with any of that.”
‘The Big Guy’ had turned down a new WWE deal in 2016 and decided to leave when his contract expired.He was part of the same WWE roster as Lesnar for four years but the two men never faced each other.
