Right now I’m going to take a moment to heal. I’m busted up, I’m bleeding everywhere. I need to go see the trainer, I need to heal up, and then I need to study some tape. I’m going against the beast, Brock Lesnar. That’s all that matters right now, WrestleMania. One goal: walk out there WWE World Heavyweight Champion. And you can believe that.

At the 2015 WWE Royal Rumble, Lesnar successfully defends the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena and Seth Rollins in a triple threat match after pinning Rollins. The following night, Lesnar is asked about the possibility of suffering a broken rib during the encounter.

That is true. I have suffered from a lot of injuries throughout my career, but when the time comes to win I get through it, and that’s exactly what I did last night.
