Brock Lesnar has generally been a hit during every moment of his WWE career but in the 2026 Royal Rumble, things definitely looked amiss.
During that particular rumble, Lesnar was tipped to be a winner but in a shocking turn of events, found himself eliminated by Cody Rhodes and LA Knight.
The problem? Well, nobody saw it.
As Lesnar was eliminated, Jey Uso was still milking his entrance meaning that only those eagle eyed viewers and those not focusing on Uso in the arena noticed.
As expected, such a massive moment being missed sent the internet into meltdown and speaking on that very moment, LA Knight has conceded things weren’t done as planned.
LA Knight comments on Brock Lesnar’s 2026 Royal Rumble botch
Lesnar has had some big eliminations over the years in the Royal Rumble. Both in terms of him getting rid of people and he himself being taken out.
However, when it came to Knight and Rhodes throwing Lesnar out in 2026, Knight has admitted that it didn’t exactly go to plan.
“I’ll tell that story someday. But it feels too new and too fresh to me right now. But I will just say, things went differently than they were supposed to, for sure,” Knight revealed on Chris Van Vilet’s podcast.
Clearly, this was something nobody in WWE had in mind at the time.
It will be interesting to see if we get the insight on this during the next season of WWE’s Unreal show.
Naturally, a moment like this is bound to frustrate the likes of Triple H and Bruce Prichard.
Quite whose fault it was, remains to be revealed.
