A specific sequence in the Men’s Royal Rumble match involving Brock Lesnar and Ilja Dragunov has generated a mixed reaction backstage. During the match, Dragunov unleashed a flurry of chops that Lesnar completely no-sold before eliminating him. While the live crowd reacted with excitement to Lesnar’s dominance, the locker room reportedly felt differently.
Fightful Select reports that multiple wrestlers sent “eye-rolling emojis” in reaction to fans who were happy about the spot. The sentiment suggests frustration among some talent regarding the booking of the interaction between the veteran Beast and the former NXT Champion.
