It was more violent than it seemed. While it might be predetermined, wrestling can be a very physical and violent sport. Wrestlers are going to be hurt at some point in their careers and sometimes they are more serious than others. You can very clearly see some of these take place, and it seems to have been the case again earlier this month in a rather widely seem clip.
Earlier this month, WWE ran an event at Madison Square Garden, which ended with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar defeating Austin Theory to retain the title. After the match, Roman Reigns and the Usos attacked Lesnar, leaving him blood to end the show. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Lesnar was intentionally busted open hard way with no blade used. The clip has also been a success, becoming the most viewed clip on WWE’s Instagram account with 5.44 million views. Lesnar vs. Reigns in a title unification match is scheduled to headline WrestleMania 38.
It was an intense moment. Check out the huge brawl from Madison Square Garden:
Opinion: Is anyone surprised that Lesnar did something in a more intense and violent (or perhaps even hard) way than he had to? Lesnar is one of the more intense wrestlers in the world today and the blood did add something to the brawl. Now they need to make it work at WrestleMania, because otherwise none of this really matters in the slightest. They can do it, but this is going to be a tricky one.
