The press conference following the electrifying showdown shed even more light on the unscripted magic that unfolded. Triple H, the seasoned WWE executive, revealed that the post-match celebration was never part of the plan. It was a spontaneous act of respect and appreciation from Lesnar himself, a testament to the authenticity and passion that these athletes bring to the ring.
“Afterward, they have the big stare down, and Brock takes off the gloves and walks over, they have the big stare down. He shakes Cody’s hand, gives him a hug, raises his arm in victory, endorses him, and walks to the back. And they did a SummerSlam press conference afterward. Triple H was asked, “What does this mean? What’s going on?’ And Triple H claimed this was not a scheduled part of the show. This was not something that was booked. And as Brock was leaving, he decided that he was going to do this. So that’s the story Triple H told.”
