Triple H talked about the moment during a media talk following the pay-per-view.
“Completely unplanned, completely in the moment, and I just, for me, Brock Lesnar is such a unique athlete, human being, all those things, but he really, I don’t believe, gets the credit he deserves at being one of the all-time greats at this,” he said.
Triple H added, “Unbelievable athlete at the highest of levels, UFC at the highest of levels, you could make the argument and would be accurate, greatest combat athlete of all time, but just talking about sports entertainment, just this, my opinion, one of the greatest of all time.”
The handshake and hug marked the end of their months-long feud. Cody Rhodes finished the job by beating Brock Lesnar in a hard-fought contest.
It first looked like Brock Lesnar would attack Cody Rhodes after the match, but much to fans’ surprise, he offered a handshake.
Suddenly, he pulled the “American Nightmare” for a hug. The latter looked surprised as things unfolded.
