Brock Lesnar's Face At WWE Royal Rumble Gets The Meme Treatment

Brock Lesnar is a beast of a man. He is 6ft 3in, has a billed weight of 130kg, trapezius muscles like thighs and 20 years of fighting experience. So yeah, he's a very scary fella.

But Lesnar proved he could be even scarier still while administering a submission hold at the Royal Rumble.

During his WWE Universal Championship match against Finn Balor, Lesnar managed to lock in his Kimura Lock arm bar. But as Balor grimaced in pain - ultimately tapping out and losing the fight - Lesnar's face was a much more disturbing picture all together.

Inevitably, Lesnar's impression of a terrifying screaming tomato did not go unnoticed, with the world of Twitter wasting no time in giving it the meme treatment.

One person said: "Brock Lesnar's face on the Balor tap out has just become a meme."

Another said: "Brock Lesnar's face here just screams meme creation all over LMAO"

Another added: "I knew as soon as Brock Lesnar made this face, it was over for Finn Balor. #RoyalRumble #UniversalTitle"

But while the majority took to Twitter to make jokes about Lesnar's face, others were bemoaning his victory, citing the fact that he goes long periods without fighting.

One person said: "OMG!!! This is getting really stupid! Brock wins again?!?! Ugh! This has gone on long enough. Seth, I hope you choose to face @BrockLesner and rescue the Universal Championship from that 'hostage taker'. #savetheuniversalchampionship."

Another added: "I am absolutely sick at how the @Wwe is treating the #UniversalChampionship @Brock Lesnar is a joke and should not be the face of the company @VinceMcMahon I thought it was time for a change but I guess not."

Lesnar won the Universal Championship after Roman Reigns had to give up the title due to his ongoing battle with leukaemia.

At last year's Royal Rumble, Lesnar shocked viewers by actually punching Braun Strowman in the head. Now, if the fact viewers were shocked shocks you, then quick spoiler alert - wrestling isn't real.

Of course, wrestling is very physical and they do actually throw each other about, but they don't normally deliberately punch each other really hard in the head.

Perhaps he forgot his UFC days were behind him for a moment there.
