AEW shockingly named the F-5 move after an illness Brock Lesnar had, in their Fight Forever video game

After major delays from the developers, AEW Fight Forever is all set to release on June 29. Although the game will be available worldwide on Thursday, some have already tried and tested it and given the fans a special look at it. A fan who has tested the game has shared a video on Twitter. He has stated that Brock Lesnar’s F5 move was named after his eponymous illness, “diverticulitis.”

While selecting a finisher for your desired star in the game’s finisher suite, a peculiar move was noted by the player. As it was visible as Brock Lesnar’s F5 move, it differed from the name assigned to it. Instead of the actual name, F5 it is stated as a digestive illness known as “diverticulitis.” The fact that the illness was mentioned says that it is related to Brock Lesnar. He is the only one who suffered from this digestive disease.

Brock Lesnar’s history with diverticulitis made him leave the UFC after a successful yet short-lived run. The Beast Incarnate has earlier spoken about the suffering he underwent during his time with the illness. However, AEW blatantly mocked Lesnar and his disease, which offended many fans.

The WWE fans condemned this ridiculous act by Tony Khan’s promotion. Moreover, the picture in the game showed three finishers by the same name, hinting at three ways in which diverticulitis could be performed. With this strange inclusion of a finisher, AEW is getting disparaging comments about the game.

However, the game is mostly being praised due to its ability to compete with the iconic WWE 2K23. Fight Forever differs from WWE 2K23 in many ways, offering the characters more brutality. It helps the players enjoy the game on any device with cross-platform gameplay and also offers mini-games within it for extra entertainment.

Keith Lee reflects on clashing with Brock Lesnar in 2020

Former ROH star Keith Lee made quite a name for himself while performing in the WWE.

When asked about that encounter, the former WWE star replied that it was an honor for him to share the ring with The Beast Incarnate.

Lee further stated that any time he goes out and does what he loves, he always feels honored to do it. The same was incorporated when he stepped foot in the ring with Lesnar, trying to prove himself. The AEW star feels overwhelmed by that moment when the crowd chanted his name over Brock’s before getting eliminated by him.

The match was considered remarkable as Brock Lesnar unleashed his Beast Mode, eliminating 13 other participants in a row. His dominance was visible, as he had entered the match at the No. 1 position. However, he was eliminated later by the winner of the match, Drew McIntyre, who hit a Claymore on Lesnar.
