Returning WWE Name Recalls Near Miss With Brock Lesnar

WWE

A returning WWE name has recalled nearly breaking their wrist whilst trying to escape from a rampaging Brock Lesnar.

Pat McAfee made his surprise return at the WWE Royal Rumble on January 28, returning to his commentary position to the joy of Michael Cole.

The pair would reunite again for The Pat McAfee Show where McAfee would recall a previous occasion where Lesnar went wild at ringside, saying:

“That was real close. How about when he was walking back towards us? What was that all about?

“I almost broke my hand the Friday before WrestleMania. Broke my wrist, almost.

“That was when Brock was beating the f*ck out of everybody with the chair.

“He was walking back, I heard the countdown in my ear, we still had another 25 seconds on live air and Brock was nowhere near stopping what he was doing.

“He had already hit 10 people with a chair, just killing people. He was walking back towards the commentary table.

“I’m like, ‘No, no no.’ We ran through the ring bell area, and a cord being pulled by a camera person, trips me through my shin.

“I go down, I catch myself on pavement. I get up, ‘Did I?’ [rolls his wrist]. Could you imagine actually f*cking with that guy?

“No way. He slammed those f*cking stairs like Bam Bam.”

McAfee was able to compete at WrestleMania 38, despite this near miss, taking on Austin Theory and Vince McMahon.

With Lesnar being eliminated from the Men’s Royal Rumble by Bobby Lashley, it appears that the two will clash further down the road, with Elimination Chamber being a likely opportunity according to recent reports.
