Published 10/02/2021, 12:39 PM EDT

Last night’s Friday Night SmackDown witnessed the first night of the WWE Drafts from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore. However, the draft wasn’t the only thing that caught the attention of fans. As they also witnessed ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar taking it to the Bloodline faction when he attacked the Usos while the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns watched from outside.

Ever since Paul Heyman “betrayed” Brock Lesnar, it looks like the entire demeanor of ‘The Beast’ has changed. The WWE Universe is familiar with a Lesnar, who just gets in the ring and feeds on his opponents. Seeing Lesnar cutting his promos is definitely a nostalgic feeling for all the pro-wrestling fans.

After Lesnar annihilated the Bloodline faction, we saw a backstage segment where Kayla Braxton was interviewing Jeff Hardy, who got drafted by WWE SmackDown during the drafts.

“The Beast Incarnate” suddenly appeared and interrupted the interview. Then the two legends shared a brief stare-down. However, PWInsider reported the segment was pre-taped.

It looks like WWE wants to give the WWE Universe a full exciting ride as long as Brock Lesnar is still with the company until his contract expires.

This brief altercation is buzzing so much because back in 2020, ‘The Charismatic Enigma’ Jeff Hardy had confessed that he wants to face Lesnar before he hangs up his boots for good.

During this brief segment, Lesnar stated he is a free agent now and can show up whenever and wherever he wants. He further added that it is all because of Paul Heyman.
