Brock Lesnar involved in backstage altercation; complaint made to WWE
Two of the featured matches at Crown Jewel saw Tyson Fury defeat Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar retain his WWE Championship against Cain Velasquez.
Unlike the majority of WWE Superstars who participated on the show, Fury had his own travel arrangements to get to and from Saudi Arabia, while he also had a team of people with him for the event.
Speaking in a recent interview with Fury’s younger brother, Tommy Fury, iFL TV host Kugan Cassius revealed that a member of Fury’s team “offered out” Lesnar backstage in Riyadh.
Cassius, who travelled with the Fury team to the show, said Tim Allcock stared at Lesnar in the corridor, which prompted the WWE Champion to ask what he wanted.
“Brock Lesnar, according to Tim, said to him, ‘What are you looking at?’ and he went, ‘What do you mean what am I looking at? What, do you want a fight or something? Come on, then.’ And then there was a complaint made about Tim over that comment, but Tim was saying, ‘I was ready.’”

Could we see Brock Lesnar vs. Tyson Fury in WWE?
Tyson Fury made amends with on-screen rival Braun Strowman when they joined forces earlier this month on SmackDown to take out B-Team members Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas.
Speaking to Sportskeeda’s Gary Cassidy recently, Fury mentioned that he would like to face Brock Lesnar in a one-on-one match if he ever competes in WWE again.
