Brock Lesnar Reportedly Pushed WWE To Use Banned Move

Last week the SummerSlam premium live event took place from Nashville, and Roman Reigns defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar in the main event. In the end it was Reigns who picked up the victory after The Usos interfered and helped The Tribal Chief bury Lesnar beneath broken tables and debris.

At one point near the end of the match there was a scary spot where Brock Lesnar did overhead throws on both The Usos and they nearly landed on their heads. This is the same move that broke Big E’s neck and nearly paralyzed him.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that WWE initially banned the move in the early 2000s, but Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle really pushed the company to allow the move to be used again.

The last man standing match featured some interesting spots such as Brock Lesnar lifting the ring with a tractor, and you can get more details on the finish here.
