After his heartbreaking loss a night ago, Cody Rhodes appeared on Monday night RAW seeking revenge. He even challenged Roman Reigns for a rematch. Just minutes later, Brock Lesnar walked out, much to the surprise of The Tribal Chief, his enforcer Solo Sikoa and Wise Man Paul Heyman.
The return of The Beast Incarnate had the fans going. Lesnar entered the ring and sided with Cody as it became evident that Reigns and Sikoa would face the duo for the main event of the night.

However, things didn’t go as planned, as Brock Lesnar snapped later in the night and attacked Cody Rhodes instead. Even before things could warm up a little, Lesnar sneaked an F5 on the American Nightmare and followed it up with another. He threw Roman Reigns’ challenger out of the ring and put him through the announcer’s desk with another of his finishers. Lesnar then pushed him inside the ring and left him over there. Meanwhile, one of his gestures from the match became an instant talking point on social media as fans guessed the reason for Lesnar’s snap.
Lesnar becomes an instant meme after flipping off at the camera
Brock Lesnar was not done with Rhodes after leaving him in the ring. He came back and inflicted some more pain. Medical personnel had to rush to the Royal Rumble winner’s aide as Lenar eventually left. However, he came back again but was told to stay away by officials. This was most likely as the time of the show had ended. Lesnar wasn’t happy and made an obscene gesture by flipping at the cameras and swearing.
Lesnar’s reaction became an instant meme on Twitter.
