WWE star Brock Lesnar suffered an embarrassing mishap during his appearance on Monday Night Raw, with cameras quickly cutting away.
After a lengthy hiatus from WWE amid being named in the Vince McMahon lawsuit, Lesnar made a shock return at SummerSlam and attacked John Cena.
He made quick work of the retiring 17-time world champion at the Wrestlepalooza event and is now poised to make his debut in Survivor Series: War Games - teaming with Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed against CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns and The Usos.
The two teams of powerhouses squared off on Raw in a preview for Saturday's slugfest, which takes place at Petco Park in San Diego.

Former UFC heavyweight and NCAA champion Lesnar made his entrance alongside long-time advocate Heyman and all hell was about to broke loose.
But 'the Beast Incarnate' endured a moment to forget when he slipped right on the ramp performing his signature taunt.
Lesnar stomped down too hard and immediately lost his footing - though he did at least manage to keep his cowbat hat firmly in his clutch.
Those in the production truck spotted the botch and called for a cut to the rest of the bad guy team before the camera went back and Lesnar.
He did style it out quite well by rolling over backwards and getting back up to his feet, laughing and putting his hat on Breakker.
WWE's version of the clip did not feature the slip and instead started from the moment he put his hat on his partner before marching down to the ring and leading his team into a five-vs-five brawl.
The Vision team of which Lesnar is representing, scored a major advantage with a roll-up victory over the Usos, scoring handicap privileges in the stacked steel cage in the bout.
WWE Hall of Famer praises Lesnar
Going into the big event on Saturday, Lesnar has received praise from WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time.
'The Hitman' is known for being extremely critical of wrestlers and regularly slams Goldberg, who he accuses of ending his career with a stick kick to the head.
He retired from in-ring competition in 2000 due to concussion issues. But Hart has as different view of Lesnar, deeming him to be a professional who understand the business.
“I would like to wrestle Brock Lesnar,” Hart said, during an appearance on the Johnny I Pro Show.
“I’ve always heard from different guys that Brock Lesnar is a professional… He’s not like Goldberg. He knows what the wrestling is all about, and he does it right. And some guys like Goldberg never understood it.”
