The Monday Night Raw episode of March 13 saw some glorious fights between the top wrestlers on the roster. Be it Cody Rhodes’ win against LA Knight or The Bloodline’s attack on Kevin Owens, all of it was worth watching. However, the irony of the entire episode lives in the views of Brock Lesnar’s segment against the 7ft 3In giant, which received huge backlash online.

For the ones who missed this most attractive segment, here is what happened. The Giant man, Omos, was engaged in a ‘cringe’ handshake with The Beast Incarnate. As soon as their hands collided, the latter felt something different. When Lesnar initiated a move against the Nigerian wrestler, he tried to throw him out of the top ring. However, it didn’t go smoothly, as Omos was subsequently trolled on social media. But the ironic thing happened when the stats of the most viewed segment from Monday’s show came to light.
