Then again, Brock Lesnar is hardly a barrel of laughs himself.

The best thing about this segment from the 13 January 2020 Raw is the backstory. Unbeknownst to Lesnar, both R-Truth and Paul Heyman had made a bet behind the curtain that Truth wouldn't be able to make Brocky boy laugh. Heyman would end up losing that particular wager.

Truth's delusional babyface act was too much for Lesnar to take. He didn't even attempt to hide his merriment when the 24/7 Champ declared himself for the Royal Rumble, found out that Brock would be involved and then promptly "undeclared". In fact, Lesnar fell about the place laughing his ass off.

The 'Beast Incarnate' had done comedy before during his first WWE run, but nothing like this. Truth and Heyman's pact makes it clear that he was never scripted to giggle during the segment at all. If anything, Lesnar was supposed to stand there stoically like a p*ssed off man mountain before blasting Truth with an F5.
