Bonus Episode: Big Ass Country Boy
Description
For our first June bonus episode, we're revisiting one of the wildest WWE main events of the modern era: Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing Match from SummerSlam 2022 in Nashville, Tennessee.
This was billed as the final chapter in the legendary Brock vs Roman rivalry, and WWE pulled out all the stops. Brock arrives in a tractor wearing a cowboy hat, Roman enters with the fully-loaded Bloodline, and what follows is absolute mayhem. Tables break, bodies pile up, Paul Heyman takes an F5, Austin Theory gets flattened, and Brock literally lifts the ring with a tractor.
We discuss:
- Prime Bloodline-era Roman Reigns
- Brock's unforgettable tractor entrance
- The viral ring-lifting spot
- Whether the Usos felt too much like Roman's henchmen
- Paul Heyman and Austin Theory getting wrecked
- The controversial interference-heavy finish
- Dave Meltzer's 4.5-star rating
- Whether this really was the last Brock vs Roman match
Plus our Fast Forward, Play, or Rewind ratings.
Listen now and relive one of the most memorable WWE spectacle matches of the 2020s.
