The Monday Night Raw episode of March 13 saw some glorious fights between the top wrestlers on the roster. Be it Cody Rhodes’ win against LA Knight or The Bloodline’s attack on Kevin Owens, all of it was worth watching. However, the irony of the entire episode lives in the views of Brock Lesnar’s segment against the 7ft 3In giant, which received huge backlash online.
For the ones who missed this most attractive segment, here is what happened. The Giant man, Omos, was engaged in a ‘cringe’ handshake with The Beast Incarnate. As soon as their hands collided, the latter felt something different. When Lesnar initiated a move against the Nigerian wrestler, he tried to throw him out of the top ring. However, it didn’t go smoothly, as Omos was subsequently trolled on social media. But the ironic thing happened when the stats of the most viewed segment from Monday’s show came to light.

Among the other great segments, from the night, this one got almost 500,000 more views. Now, these new statistics have surprisingly changed everyone’s opinions all of a sudden.
A day before the release of this, people were against The Next Big Thing’s booking against Omos in WrestleMania and now they see it as one of the important matches of the prestigious premium live event.
Fans changed their opinion on the booking of Brock Lesnar against Omos for WrestleMania
As soon as fans got a glance at these newfound statistics where the presence of a massive-bodied 28-year-old outshined the top stars of the roster, it changed their mind. Now everyone seems to be fond of the sight of them in the ring against each other.
This plus the holy s*** chants from the audience at sight of them in ring together on Monday validates it's general appeal. https://t.co/L1TiEozuN7

Some fans also noted that any feud, including a ‘big man’, always attracts uncountable eyes. One among them even gave an example of Hulk Hogan vs Andre. He then also compared it to the main attraction of WrestleMania, i.e., Rhodes vs Reigns.
These types of feuds with ‘big men’ always do millions of views on YT.. it’s really weird 😂

This is what I and many others are referring to. These kinds of matches still draw even 30 years after Hulk vs Andre. To casuals, this match has the same drawing power as Cody vs Roman. WWE still needs to appeal to a casual audience at the end of the day.

A few other notable remarks from fans showed their change in opinion who then also said that this feud ‘can be the most watched clip on social media.
Again, Brock's a smart man. Brock F5ing Omos (assuming it happens) will probably be the most watched clip on social media from the show https://t.co/EB0SuKi4o1
