Spare a thought for the poor sods who bought ringside seats opposite the hard cam, because they had to stare at a big screen for the closing moments of the main event. Still, it was worth it for folks watching from home - Brock Lesnar literally lifting the ring with a tractor was some laugh.

Has that ever been done before? Probably not.

Lesnar is no stranger to ring-related hijinks. Years ago, he and Big Show destroyed the thing on an episode of SmackDown after working a superplex spot. No tractors back then, man. In 2022, farmer Brock sloooooowly drove his vehicle to ringside and then used it to great effect.

Take a bow, Roman Reigns. The way the 'Tribal Chief' bumped for the corner lifting was a riot. This is the kind of moment that'll be replayed over and over for years and years to come. WWE adores these unique set pieces, and it's easy to see why.
