It seems Brock Lesnar broke WWE executive Bruce Prichard's nose while filming a backstage segment. On his Something to Wrestle podcast, Prichard shared how Lesnar kicked a wall into his face, breaking his nose in three places.
“Brock Lesnar kicked a wall into my face. We were in Nova Scotia. We finished up a shoot and the folks that had constructed the wall, hadn’t constructed it very well and were in the process of trying to get Brock out of this room that had started to collapse and Brock didn’t feel like waiting. He started moving walls on his own. When he did, that said wall came crashing into my face. Broke my nose in three places, shattered my orbital.”
Prichard further revealed that Brock Lesnar sent him an apology note after the accident along with crab and lobster.
