R-Truth speaks on making Brock Lesnar laugh; The Rock & John Cena’s backstage relationship
During a RAW episode, R-Truth forced Brock Lesnar to laugh and break character. The segment was loved by many and even Lesnar praised R-Truth for his work.
Few superstars have forced Brock Lesnar to break his in-ring character but R-Truth can count himself in that league. During an episode of WWE RAW a couple of months ago, R-Truth and Brock Lesnar came face-to-face where the current WWE 24/7 Champion made The Beast laugh. The segment was loved by many and even Brock Lesnar praised R-Truth for his work backstage.
R-Truth sat down with TalkSPORT this month where he revealed that Paul Heyman came to him ahead of the segment and asked him to make Brock Lesnar laugh. Heyman told R-Truth that he’s a funny guy, but fans still doubted whether he could break Brock Lesnar or not. Paul Heyman then asked R-Truth to “wing it” during the segment and deliver a great promo. At first, R-Truth was scared and wanted to tell Brock Lesnar about the promo before going out. However, once in the ring, R-Truth delivered and made Brock Lesnar break into laughter. Lesnar also loved the promo and told R-Truth that they needed to do something together backstage in WWE.
“I did all I could to hold myself from laughing when I saw Brock bust out laughing because of Paul Heyman’s facial expression. The magic just went on man, it kept going on,” said R-Truth.
