When you talk of the best wrestling games, the two that take the top spot are ‘WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain’ and ‘WWF No Mercy’. Both these games have effectively enthralled gaming fans the world over and are still revered by the fanbase years after their release.

And it was only about time that rival promotion AEW also got in on the action. Come 29th June, AEW will be debuting it’s first ever game called ‘AEW Fight Forever’. While fans are excited to see what the game has to offer some have already noticed a very peculiar similarity concerning ‘The Beast’ Incarnate Brock Lesnar.

Some fans have already gotten their hands on the game. And the first thing they spotted was the comical renaming of Brock Lesnar’s menacing finishing move F5. ‘Diverticulitis’ is a medical condition where inflammation or infection occurs in one or more small pouches in the digestive tract.

While there is no doubt that this move is definitely a copy of the F5, fans were in splits over AEW renaming Lesnar’s finisher after the medical condition he suffered from for a long time.

While one fan confidently pointed out that this is an indication that Brock might switch to AEW soon. Others just found it hilarious that AEW actually named Lesnar’s finishing move as ‘Diverticulitis’.

Lesnar has a history of diverticulitis which eventually led him to quit UFC after a short but successful stint. Lesnar has previously mentioned the horrors of the condition he had to face. Renaming Lesnar’s power-packed finisher as a colon condition has wrestling fans in splits.

Another WWE superstar’s move was also duplicated by AEW and fans were quick to spot it.

Roman Reigns ‘Locked & Loaded’ is called ‘General Masculin 62’

AEW didn’t stop mimicking the finishing moves of WWE superstars there. They even had the audacity to replicate Roman Reigns’ move ‘Locked & Loaded’ calling it ‘General Masculin 62’.
