“I Got Goosebumps”, “Don’t Scare Us”: Fans Thought Brock Lesnar Died After a Meme of Lesnar’s WWE Segment With Mustafa Ali Goes Viral

Memes have been a new-age tool for communication on social media. It can be straight funny, punny, or bordering satirical, depending on the need. Like a good punchline of a joke, if done well, a meme has the potential to strike a chord with the netizens. Unfortunately, a news outlet’s meme on Brock Lesnar didn’t sit well with fans, who were left bemused by it. The post left many wondering if the 45-year-old wrestling legend had breathed his last.

Social media users wasted little time to let the outlet know about how they felt about it and it was a lopsided affair.

Post on Brock Lesnar backfires massively

On the recent episode of Monday night’s RAW, Lesnar told budding WWE superstar Mustafa Ali to get a life. This would generally make a great meme since the former WWE champion ended his advice with the word “kid”. However, BT Sport chose to use a black-and-white image of Lesnar with the quote’s text written in white.

The template is usually reserved to pay condolences/homage after a person’s death and for the fast scrollers, it came as a rude shock.

This person’s comment encapsulates the general feeling towards the post: “Y’all scared me for a sec, I thought we lost Brock 🤦🏾‍♂️😩”

Another chipped in with “For the briefest of moments, while quickly scrolling and seeing this image and style of writing, I thought the worst 😶”

The meme had a hair-raising effect on this Instagram user: “Bro wtf I got goosebumps for a moment.”

It left one user with a plea for the future: “Bro don’t scare us like that 💀💀”

It’s hard to understand if this individual meant it as a warning or a request: “Don’t do that to me ever again.”

There were several similar comments, each stating their experience of assuming Lesnar’s death due to the black-and-white template of the meme.

The Beast Incarnate targets Cody Rhodes’ arm

Brock Lesnar has taken a special liking to Cody Rhodes arm! During the course of a few hours, the veteran WWE superstar attacked the 37-year-old Rhodes twice on RAW. In a sneak attack, The Beast Incarnate attacked Cody backstage before the start of Monday’s show, leaving him injured.

An undeterred Cody squared off against Lesnar again, facing the same treatment later that night. It was clear that Lesnar didn’t want Rhodes to appear at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on May 27.

However, The American Nightmare has vowed to take on Lesnar at their proposed PLE  clash at the Jeddah Superdome. With just a few days to recover, it will be interesting to see how Rhodes manages to tame The Beast come May 27.
