Brock Lesnar is a beast that only a few could tame before. And nobody has defeated The Beast Incarnate more times than Roman Reigns. With a record of 5-4, in the favor of the Tribal Chief, the upcoming bout looks interesting. Not only is it the Last Man Standing, but it is also their biggest clash in terms of match types.
While fans in the stadium roared when Lesnar returned, the consensus around this booking was mild on Twitter. People have been accusing WWE of repeatedly booking the same people again and again, and this just goes to show their point. But one former wrestler and current commentator, Corey Graves, has something to say to these people.
