Brock Lesnar made headlines for his appearance on Monday Night Raw—just not for the reason anyone expected.
According to Sports Illustrated, the WWE veteran delivered one of the most talked-about entrances of the week when a high-octane moment turned into an unintentional viral clip.
As the fireworks hit and Lesnar stomped down to accent the cue, the 48-year-old lost his balance and slipped, hitting the ramp before rolling backward in front of a packed arena.
The fall happened seconds before the final confrontation between the two WarGames teams. Lesnar, accompanied by Paul Heyman, was heading to the ring to join Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker—his squad for Survivor Series: War Games.
Their opponents will include CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso.
Despite the unexpected moment, Lesnar recovered immediately. According to footage circulating online, he stood up, cracked a brief grin, and continued his walk to the ring without missing another beat.
The stumble briefly overshadowed the intended tension of the show’s closing segment, but fans quickly shifted back to the action as the two sides launched into the expected final brawl.
Lesnar’s appearance on Raw marks one of his few on-screen moments since returning to WWE earlier this year. The 10-time champion made his comeback at SummerSlam in August after stepping away for nearly two years.
He then secured a major win over John Cena at WrestlePalooza on September 20, cementing his return with a high-profile victory.
Clips posted to social media show the exact moment Lesnar slips as he plants his foot, the pyro erupting behind him. Fans in the arena audibly reacted, with some gasping before the crowd settled back in as Lesnar regrouped and headed toward the ring.
The stumble didn’t change the outcome of the night. Raw still closed with chaos: Paul and McIntyre earned WarGames advantage earlier in the show, Gunther advanced in the Last Time Is Now Tournament, and the impending Survivor Series matchups were firmly established.
