Brock Lesnar is one of the most ferocious wrestlers on WWE’s roster, but last night we saw a vulnerable side of him. Even though he lost the match to Cody Rhodes, Lesnar arguably got the victory in fans’ eyes because of this moment. Not only did the moment shock everyone watching at the time, but it felt like Lesnar grabbed everyone’s collar and made them watch the match.

No one would have imagined Brock Lesnar, of all people, bleeding in this match. If anyone, Cody Rhodes, who regularly bled during his indie wrestling career, made perfect sense. But the most outrageous part is that Lesnar bled without the help of any other foreign material.

Brock Lesnar’s crash into the turnbuckle was the only thing that made him bleed out

In wrestling, it is a hidden rule that bleeding can happen in many ways. While the camera is away or the audience’s attention is on the opponent, the wrestler can take a corner and cut themselves open with a razor blade. But there is also the method of using a sharp object in the match, like thumbtacks, that the opponent uses carefully to pry open the wrestler.

But in the Backlash main event, Lesnar didn’t initiate the bleeding with these methods. Instead, Lesnar used the exposed turnbuckle to go headfirst into it. Earlier in the match, Rhodes had taken off the cover, and it got exposed. When Rhodes dodged a running splash in the corner, Lesnar met with the exposed turnbuckle. As you can see in the video above, through that brutal contact, Lesnar started bleeding out.
