10 Things We Learned From Roman Reigns On 'Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast'

5. He Legitimately Punched Brock Lesnar At 'Mania

The main event of WrestleMania 31 was unquestionably the best match of the night - and not just due to Seth Rollins' earth-shattering cash-in. Until Rollins' music hit, Brock and Roman had been absolutely tearing one another apart (although in all honesty, it was Lesnar was doing most of the tearing). When speaking on the match, Reigns revealed that there had been no prior agreement to work stiff with one another; they were simply doing so because it was the main event of 'Mania, and "you gotta represent". He also claimed to have legitimately punched Brock in the face several times, a tactic to enrage the Beast and make his beatdown of Roman even more ferocious and believable. Judging by the state of Lesnar's face the next night on Raw, there's probably some truth to that tale.
