On the September 12th episode of WWE SmackDown, Brock Lesnar experienced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that quickly caught the attention of fans around the world. While kicking off the show in Norfolk and preparing to promote his forthcoming match against John Cena, Lesnar was interrupted by R-Truth, resulting in an unexpected chain of events that led to the mishap.
As Lesnar and R-Truth exchanged heated words, the tension escalated until Lesnar executed his signature move, the F-5, on R-Truth. However, during this high-impact moment, Lesnar’s pants tore, once again exposing his innerwear just like his earlier incident at SummerSlam 2023. Despite the potential for embarrassment, Lesnar embraced the situation with humor, confidently revealing his blue underwear to the audience.
After the wardrobe malfunction, Lesnar approached the gorilla position and shouted,
“F*ck it Stu, I ripped my pants. Blue underwear!” —Brock Lesnar
This candid reaction became a viral sensation on social media, with many fans comparing it to the memorable SpongeBob meme where the character looks over his shoulder to find his pants missing. Lesnar’s ability to turn the mishap into a lighthearted moment resonated widely, even as anticipation builds for his WrestlePalooza match against John Cena scheduled for next week.
Chris Jericho Recalls Tense Backstage Confrontation Following Brutal 2016 Match
Revisiting past conflicts, Chris Jericho recently shared memories from a heated encounter with Brock Lesnar that occurred after SummerSlam 2016. During that event, Lesnar faced Randy Orton in a match that ended in a violent fashion when Lesnar severely battered Orton, leaving him bleeding profusely. The severity of Lesnar’s attack stirred strong emotions backstage.
In a reflective interview on The Pain Game, Jericho described the intense moment when he confronted Lesnar. He recalled his frustration with Lesnar using elbows excessively during the match and questioned the legitimacy of the conduct.
“He was hitting him (Randy Orton) with the elbows. I was just like if this is real, it’s bullsh*t, if it’s being called, it’s still bullsh*t. He’s taking liberties and it pissed me off and I was in Gorilla and I was f*cking angry about it and Brock came through and he saw me angry about it and decided he wanted to come challenge me.And we got into a little bit of an issue and I was like f*ck this guy I don’t give a sh*t how big he is, like I don’t f*cking care, it’s f*cking wrong and I will fight to the death if I will stand up for what I believe in, to the death and I remember being like literally nose to nose with the guy and he’s laughing and he’s like you know he was actually saying things that would probably get him cancelled.” —Chris Jericho
This recollection highlights the intense atmosphere behind the scenes and Jericho’s unwavering commitment to defending his values, even against a powerful figure like Lesnar. The backstage confrontation remains a significant moment in WWE lore, illustrating the complex dynamics between wrestlers and the passion fueling their performances.
