Brock Lesnar is known to play it rough inside the ring. The wrestler is famous for his crazy techniques used to dominate his opponents. While talking on a recent episode of his podcast, one WWE commentator looked back to a specific Brock Lesnar match last year. Brock Lesnar put in the last of his efforts when he was feuding with The Tribal Chief for his WWE Universal Championship. Though it was fun to watch from afar, the commentator revealed how he considered it to be his last moment on planet Earth.

One time in 2022, The Beast Incarnate quite literally ‘flipped’ the ring. While this stunt made the crowd go wild, the hazards it posed to people who were around the ring cannot be overlooked.

Roman Reigns was set to defend his title belt against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2022. However, the former UFC star surprised him by driving a tractor into the arena. The grand and surprising entrance was much appreciated by fans. The main event got even crazier when Lesnar used his tractor-driving skills to flip the entire ring at an inclined angle. He stopped when the squared circle was at a certain angle, steep enough to throw Reigns out in the open. But it wasn’t a fun time for Corey Graves, who was sitting just in front of the ring.

During the recent episode of After the Bell, Corey Graves confessed, “That was a near-death experience. That wasn’t a memorable, fun, WWE experience. I was convinced that was it for me. It was curtains for old Gravy.

It is clear that he blames the WWE legend’s actions for giving him a big scare.

As traumatic as it was for Graves, it wasn’t the first time that Lesnar has gone to an extreme level to threaten his opponents. In fact, another WWE personality recalled a life-threatening experience with the 46-year-old a few years ago.

On his Something to Wrestle podcast, Bruce Prichard once revealed that Brock Lesnar helped break his nose in Saskatchewan. In a segment during the early 2000s, the WWE had Lesnar locked up in a room by the FBI with a forklift inside. When Lesnar was trying to remove walls, they started caving in. Brock, being the beastly wrestler that he is, tried breaking out by kicking the walls.

His inhuman strength helped him with his quest. However, the wall eventually fell on Prichard’s face, breaking his nose in three different places. Although his fate could’ve been much worse than that, Prichard still recalls Lesnar as the reason for the broken nose he received that day.
