WWE fans thought Brock Lesnar was channelling The Undertaker as he stepped out on Monday Night Raw.

On this week’s episode, the Beast was called out by Cody Rhodes after he brutally attacked the American Nightmare on the Raw after WrestleMania, and his new style got people talking.

It all kicked off when Cody came down wanting a fight with Brock after what went down two weeks ago, but WWE official Adam Pearce tried to calm him down, pointing out that he isn’t medically cleared.

He brought out security to help get the former Intercontinental Champion out of the ring, but the star grabbed a chair before Brock’s music hit.

The heavyweight stepped onto the stage in a cowboy hat and trench coat reminiscent of the Dead Man, while Pearce quickly made the match between the rivals official for Backlash on May 5.

His attempt to calm Cody down didn’t work as the fan favourite went wild, taking out security with the chair, swinging for the fences as Brock tried to tempt him down the ramp.

Once the Beast left, Cody grabbed a microphone and branded his foe a ‘coward’ as he appeared more angry than fans have seen him in some time.

‘I spent the entirety of last week throwing out positive platitudes about Brock Lesnar and I left one out. Brock Lesnar can wear his silly cowboy hat all day long,’ he teased. ‘But Brock Lesnar, I grew up around cowboys. You are not a cowboy. You are a coward.’

Fans clearly loved seeing Cody so fired up, but social media was still abuzz with people talking about Brock’s outfit choice for the night.

One viewer joked that Brock was ‘channeling Undertaker’, while another added: ‘Brock Lesnar has achieve his final evolution: he’s turned into The Undertaker.’

A third fan referenced the Beast ending the Phenom’s iconic WrestleMania streak, and teased: ‘Brock Lesnar stole the Undertaker’s streak and now he has stolen his closet.’

A fourth fan tweeted: ‘Brock saw that meme of The Undertaker “passing the torch” to Bray Wyatt & said “nah, I ended the streak, I’m The Undertaker now!” ‘

WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1. Watch Cody Rhodes versus Brock Lesnar at WWE Backlash on May 6, also at 1am, via the WWE Network.
