10 Wrestlers Who Beat The Hell Out Of Each Other Backstage

3. Chris Jericho/Brock Lesnar

What was that about having "steel balls"?

Jericho was furious after watching SummerSlam 2016's main event between Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar. He believed that 'The Beast' had gone over the score towards the end of the bout by punching Randy in the skull, and he wanted to have it out with Brock at Gorilla.

Admittedly, this entry is cheating a wee bit because they didn't actually come to proper blows. Is it worth including though? Absolutely, because it's not every day someone steps up and gets in Lesnar's face for real. Jericho deserves some credit (again) for being the guy who was willing to let Brock know that he wasn't chuffed about his behaviour in the ring.

Lesnar did shove Jericho pretty hard, and they came close to throwing punches. WWE will be glad that didn't happen, but the story predictably grew arms and legs online within a few days. 'Hey, remember that time Jericho choked out Brock backstage'? That sort of thing.
