A Mexican standoff with Brock Lesnar
The ‘Bulgarian Brute’ took to twitter to answer some of his fans’ questions. When asked if he had ever fought Brock Lesnar in the ring, Rusev replied saying that the two had faced off in Mexico. Their bout in Mexico in 2016 was truly incredible to behold. The two men stared each other down in the ring before engaging in their duel.

“I couldn’t stand straight after the match till the chiropractor fixed me,” Rusev said, referring to the fight. Lesnar had completely dominated the Superstar. The match stayed interesting and competitive until Lesnar unleashed his suplexes. ‘The Beast Incarnate’ executed 4 German suplexes consecutively.
Rusev barely took a breath, when he was grabbed again and thrown to the other side of the ring in a suplex. Adding to the destruction, Lesnar picked up a near unconscious Rusev and hit him with his signature move, the F5.
Rusev was out cold after this barrage, and was pinned by Lesnar, who walked away with the win. Lesnar returned to the ring after some harsh provocative words by Rusev’s wife Lana. He delivered a final F5, just a cherry on top of an already brilliant display. It’s a miracle Rusev could even crawl after all that punishment.
