Brock Lesnar WWE SmackDown walkout: The pop he got when he appeared was huge

Brock Lesnar ended a night of pure drama and speculation with a surprise and shocking appearance at the close out of Friday night’s episode of SmackDown, much to the delight of the WWE Universe in attendance.

The main even of the night saw the Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Usos and Theory team up to face Madcap Moss and The Street Profits.

Moss and Profits claimed a disqualification victory after Theory used his Money in the Bank briefcase and struck Moss in the head.

Following the conclusion of the match, Theory continued to repeatedly attack Moss, which is when The Beast Incarnate had clearly seen enough.

Much to everyone’s surprise, Brock Lesnar’s music then began to play throughout the arena as The Beast made his way to the ring to plant an F5 on Theory. Not just one, though, obviously, it’s Lesnar we’re talking about here, a couple of times.

It wasn’t just the fans who were shocked by the unexpected appearance as commentator Pat McAfee said: “I thought …”, and co-commentator Michael Cole replied: “I did too!”
