Braun Strowman is a big dude - even bigger than our last entry - but even he bit off a bit more than he could chew when he decided to throw that weight at Brock Lesnar.

The two were on each other's radars coming into the Royal Rumble event in 2018 and their chaotic build up - involving part of the Raw set being pulled down onto Lesnar's body thanks to Strowman - left the fans eagerly awaiting what was to come once the two (and Kane) clashed again.

With things getting heated from the get-go, Strowman landed an overzealous knee right onto Lesnar's face.

You do not p*ss off a Beast.

Lesnar replied with a couple of shoot bombs of his own, telling Strowman to 'slow the f*ck down'. It was clear that these two weren't on the same page and Strowman had some serious backtracking to do in order to salvage his relationship with the then Universal Champion.

Strowman recounted how he spoke to Lesnar about it being 'his bad' and that the two 'laughed about it afterwards'.

It was a wise decision for Strowman to swallow his pride and offer an olive branch to The Beast Incarnate, as - even though The Monster Among Men isn't one to be messed with - you never want to find yourself in Lesnar's bad books for too long.
