10 Times Brock Lesnar's Ego Ran Wild In WWE

7. Screwing Strowman

It's safe to say that Brock Lesnar isn't Braun Strowman's biggest fan.

Their history of awkward, stilted interactions began in the 2016 Royal Rumble. They met midway through the bout, and looked set for a huge monster vs. monster showdown, but their exchanges gave the impression that neither man was totally willing to cooperate for the other. Strowman wouldn't sell for Lesnar, who looked bewildered, and by the time they were done, the audience were left wondering if there was heat between the two.

It happened again on the 2018 Royal Rumble pay-per-view, with 'The Beast' unleashing a brutal stiff punch straight to Strowman's head (admittedly, this came moments after Braun had potatoed him with a knee). Regardless, the biggest disappointment came at No Mercy 2017.

Their Universal Title match should've been an awesome spectacle. It was the hottest star in the company challenging WWE's biggest special attraction, but it turned out to be a boring, phoned-in house show match. Lesnar looked totally uninterestied in putting Braun over in defeat (residual heat from the 2016 Rumble, perhaps?), and when he eventually fell, Strowman looked like a chump.
