The former WWE wrestler, Matt Riddle, has made several shocking accusations against other stars of the promotion. Riddle fired his final shot at Brock Lesnar a few hours back by exposing how ‘The Best Incarnate’ forgot the script for his Elimination Chamber match in 2022.
Riddle also revealed that Lesnar wasn’t supposed to go out guns blazing in the match like he did. As a result, the timing of the match was reduced by “15 minutes”. Riddle disclosed that Lesnar’s on-screen advocate, Paul Heyman, tried to downplay the severity of the botch. (via TMZSports on YouTube)
“He [Lesnar] literally forgot what number he was supposed to come out. [He] punched the plexiglass door, which isn’t super strong. Like, I can kick through it, but you’re not supposed to—and then he just bum-rushed. He cut the match by 15 minutes. And then Paul Heyman pretended like it didn’t happen or was like, ‘Oh, that was my mistake.’ And I was like no, it wasn’t. It was fu**ing him, dude. He just went into business for himself.”
Riddle’s controversial nature makes it hard to believe him. But several fans know about another instance when Lesnar went of script.
Brock Lesnar’s Unscripted Moment Involving Braun Strowman
Riddle clearly highlighted that Lesnar allegedly “forgot” the script for his Elimination Chamber match at 2022, which resulted in The Beast Incarnate going off-script to finish the match earlier than planned.
However, Lesnar remembered the script perfectly while choosing to go unscripted during his 2018 Royal Rumble match featuring Braun Strowman and Kane. His unscripted act was a reply to a botched move from Strowman.

Amid the match, Strowman mistakenly connected a strong knee to Lesnar’s head. The botched move was also identified by the audience in the arena.
This is when Lesnar ditched the script to provide Strowman with a glimpse of what could happen if he decides to make things real. He landed a thudding punch on Strowman’s temple, making him scream, “Slow the f*** down,” loud enough to be picked up by the microphones. (via TalkSport)

Braun Strowman’s Comments About Brock Lesnar’s Unscripted Moment
Riddle didn’t face the consequences of Lesnar’s allegedly unscripted act physically and still chose to deride The Best Incarnate during his recent interview with TMZ Sports.
Nevertheless, Strowman took Lesnar’s unscripted punch much sportingly. The Monster Among Men has never bad-mouthed the 48-year-old despite enduring a full-fledged strike from the former UFC heavyweight champion.
During his one-year-old interview with Chris Van Vliet, Strowman also detailed how his “stiff” knee was the real reason Lesnar chose to reply with a vicious strike. (via CVV clips on YouTube)
“I stiffed him on accident with a knee and he wasn’t happy about it so he clobbered me on the side of the head.”
Instead of being offended, Strowman used Lesnar’s real strike as a feather on his cap, stating:
“I like to think I’m the only human on Earth that’s taken a right hand from Brock and didn’t go night-night. I went 20 more minutes in the match.”
Well, things might have been entirely different if Lesnar and Strowman both had gone no-holds-barred. But who do you think would’ve had the upper hand if that happened? Let us know in the comments below.
