Brock Lesnar is a rare specimen. The superstar carries an intimidating aura and has left an impression of being reticent and on his own. Lesnar has found himself at the center of controversy a few times after engaging in some backstage altercations with fellow superstars. His previous confrontation with Chris Jericho grabbed all the limelight after the latter took offense to the fact that Lesnar busted open Randy Orton in 2016. Another report had emerged in the past over The Beast Incarnate clashing with another superstar. Moreover, the superstar in question has come out to clarify the air.

Recently, ex-WWE superstar Ryback gave clarity on the infamous rumors of Lesnar attacking Ryback in the backstage area. He disclosed who was actually responsible for the blatant lies.

Though he left the organization in 2016, fans still remember him for his impact on the business. But one of the most spoken incidents about him is an altercation with Lesnar where the latter reportedly hit Ryback in the face 3 times, giving him a black eye in 2012.

Rubbishing those rumors, the star has explained the full story on his Instagram handle. He quoted: “Someone in WWE leaked out that Brock Lesnar had attacked me in a backstage altercation and gave me a black eye. I’m here to tell you that was an absolute lie.” 

The ex-WWE star disclosed that the attack was planned to hurt his credibility. Ryback said, “And it was this guy here, Michael PS Hayes, that we found out reported to Dave Meltzer that very lie with WWE trying to hurt my credibility with its fanbase but failed miserably.”

He concluded by mentioning the status of his relationship with Lesnar: “Me and Brock got along really well. He was always very sociable and approachable with me.” Check out the post below:

This definitely clarifies a lot of things and finally puts the issue aside. However, there was this one time when Lesnar did actually get in an altercation with a fellow legend.

During the closing moments of the match, the 46-year-old made Orton bleed profusely, ending the match in a TKO. Just like fans, other wrestlers backstage too were perplexed.

Chris Jericho, close friend of Orton, confronted Lesnar head-on as he didn’t appreciate his assault on The Viper. Despite Triple H and others acting as peacemakers, it took Vince McMahon to step in and separate the two, by telling Y2J that it was part of the plan.

 Nonetheless, what do you think about Ryback’s statement on the supposed brawl between the two?
