Shoot Breaks Out in Universal Championship Match at ‘Royal Rumble’

Uh oh… It is being reported by multiple sources that a shoot broke out during the Universal Championship Triple Threat match at the ‘Royal Rumble‘ between Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman.

As fans were quick to point out, Strowman hit Lesnar with a hard knee likely by accident. This resulted in Lesnar hitting Strowman across the face with a stiff shot.

Take a look at this in the two tweets we’ve featured below.

Lesnar allegedly told Strowman to “slow the f–k down’ according to WWE analyst Justin LaBar on Twitter. WWE has since edited this out.

Watched back Braun's knee to Lesnar and then Lesnar's punch to Braun. They've edited and cut the sound for the brief second Lesnar screams "slow the f*** down" to Braun after giving him a stiff punch. #RoyalRumble

It is also being reported that WWE officials spoke with both men when they went to the back to explain why that incident should never have happened.

It seems everything is fine with both men and neither will receive any punishment. Neither had any intent to be reckless and it does happen by accident from time to time.

Below we have featured a highlight from the match.
