Bronson Reed reacts to Brock Lesnar’s slip during WWE Raw
Bronson Reed says he doesn’t think Brock Lesnar was too fazed after slipping during his entrance on WWE Raw.
Lesnar came out in the closing moments of the show but, just as the pyro was going off, he went “ass over teakettle,” as described by Bryan Alvarez in this week’s Raw report. A laughing Lesnar got right up afterward, put his cowboy hat on Bron Breakker’s head, and then went to the ring.
During an appearance on the No Contest podcast with O’Shea Jackson Jr. & TJ Jefferson published on Wednesday, Reed commented on the slip, saying:
“Knowing Brock Lesnar as I do, I’ve only known him for a short amount of time, he is a very intense individual. He is the beast. That is him. I saw him slip and somehow back-roll and get straight back to his feet. And in my mind, I was like, he’s either going to laugh this off, which he seemed to do – he laughed it off and we got to business – or he’s going to be very angry and all those guys in the ring are going to pay for it.“
“I did see it, but I just let it slide and made sure to get back to business,” he added.
Reed later said that Drew McIntyre had mentioned the entrance was slippery for his entrance as well.
“I don’t know who wrestled beforehand because Drew said in his entrance he almost slipped. So I don’t know if someone had wet their hair or if oil or something was out there on the entranceway.”
Reed continued to say that he doesn’t think the slip fazed Lesnar too much, and that it didn’t impact how the fans reacted to him, when maybe it would have for somebody else.
“I don’t think it fazed him too much,” Reed said.
“If that was someone else and they slipped, they’d probably fall on their ass and that would be it, and people wouldn’t engage anymore. It would be hard to get the people back. But because it’s Brock Lesnar, he almost back-rolled and got straight back to his feet, took his cowboy hat off, and you knew he’s going to still beat the hell out of people. So if it was going to happen to anyone, at least it was him.”
Reed’s comments about Lesnar’s slip come in around the 22-minute and 45-second mark of the podcast (cued in the video below):
