And Brock was coming out, and I was going to blast him with a chair from behind before the match even started.”

Matt Hardy revealed he was already angry with Lesnar. He continued, “And I was pi*sed off at Brock already during the course of the day because he was trying to cut my s**t out during the match and it was supposed to be a big night for me too because I was supposed to be having a competitive match with him.”

He had cracked ribs for the longest time and he just said every time was just real grouchy. He’s like, it was almost like trouble to have a match with him that night at given spots. He was like ‘make sure don’t hit me, don’t hit me in my lower back.’ He said, ‘ I don’t want you in my cracked rib. Make you sure you hit me behind my back.”

The 47-year-old then said, “When I came out, I was running as hard as I could and I swung that chair as far as I could. Anyway, Because I was gonna lay into him, and I caught him with the lip of the chair in the back of the head and I split his head open to the skull. And it was brutal.”

Blood was running everywhere. He said ‘why the f**k did you hit me in the head?’ So man I’m sorry! I said ‘I apologize I didn’t mean to.
