R-Truth reveals unscripted moment with Brock Lesnar on RAW
R-Truth shares story of making Brock Lesnar break character in 2020, while reports indicate no immediate return plans for The Beast.
R-Truth shared details about making Brock Lesnar break character during a 2020 RAW segment, stemming from a backstage bet with Paul Heyman. During his appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, the 52-year-old wrestler described the spontaneous interaction that led to one of his career’s memorable moments.
R-Truth explained how the unplanned segment unfolded:
I got to Gorilla and Paul was there. He said: ‘We have a bet.’ I asked: ‘What bet?’ He replied: ‘That you can make Brock laugh.’ I suggested telling Brock what we would do, but Paul refused. It was completely improvised and worked perfectly.
The segment concluded with Lesnar delivering an F-5 to R-Truth.
WWE has no plans for Brock Lesnar’s return
Sportskeeda’s Chris Featherstone reported on December 21 about Lesnar’s status with WWE:
I’ve been told there are no internal discussions about Brock Lesnar returning to WWE. The belief within the company is that he won’t be back in the near future.
Recent speculation about Lesnar’s return emerged after Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes mentioned the former Universal Champion during an October RAW episode. These references appear to have been isolated incidents rather than hints at an upcoming appearance.
