Brock Lesnar defeated AJ Styles at Survivor Series. The match was a lot more competitive than most fans expected it to be. Lesnar caught Styles in mid-air going for the ‘Phenomenal Forearm’. Brock hit an F5 for the victory.
A lot of fans noticed that Lesnar’s knee buckled when he caught AJ in mid-air and went for the F5. This caused a lot of speculation that Brock injured his knee.
It looks like that is not the case and Brock was just selling. Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), says that Brock continued to sell like he was really hurt backstage, even though he wasn’t. Brock wanted everybody to think that he was.
This also corroborates with the report from Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet who said Brock was just selling:
Since I’m seeing a lot of speculation out there, figure it’s worth noting that I’ve been told Brock was just selling after the match and isn’t possibly injured. #SurvivorSeries

This is great for a few reasons. The 1st is that you obviously never want to see someone get injured. The 2nd is that it goes to show you how amazing of a seller that Brock Lesnar is. So many fans were concerned that he blew out his knee. Turns out that he was just selling to make AJ look great in defeat.
This also seems to confirm the rumors that Brock was excited to work with Styles. This was rumored prior to the match and based on how the match went down, certainly seems to be the case.
