The 5-time WWE Champion watched the main event closely and gave his unfiltered assessment. Bret was a little critical of Lesnar for a particular thing, and that is, focus. Bret Hart believes the ‘Beast Incarnate‘ may have underestimated the ‘Head of the Table.’

Bret said, “I think Brock, there’s a bit chance that he may have underestimated Roman Reigns’ desire to finally come back, and give a taste of his own medicine.”


Adding further on his excitement before the match, the ‘Excellence of Execution’ said, “To me, it was going to be a very interesting battle today because I know both guys had their mindset on proving something. I think Brock maybe underestimated how Roman Reigns was going to be a different fighter this time.”
