The following was reported by Mike Johnson from PWInsider.com
"WWE World Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was backstage at Raw but was not used. Lesnar flew on his private plane to Nashville for the taping earlier in the day on Monday.
According to those who saw him backstage yesterday, Lesnar was obviously angry about something and one source claimed he walked out of the taping before it ended. There are different stories making the rounds, but PWInsider.com has been told it was not something on the creative end that set Lesnar off, but something regarding his business relationship with WWE. No one we spoke with was willing to elaborate beyond that, but several made it clear it had nothing to do with any planned booking.
Vince McMahon acknowledged the issue during a Smackdown production meeting today, a source claimed, but did not elaborate on the issue. Lesnar has returned home to Minnesota and is not backstage at Smackdown. Lesnar is not advertised to appear again for WWE until the 3/9 Raw taping in Pittsburgh, PA, which gives WWE several weeks to work out whatever the issue is.
If and when we confirm additional details, we will update."

That sound you just heard was Punk orgasming.
ReplyDeleteReality era work.
ReplyDeleteHe was probably pissed about negotiations regarding a new contract. Maybe they want to give him a pay cut and make him work more dates....
ReplyDeleteLesnar no showing Wrestlemania would just be the greatest.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Curtis Axel has ever asked to catch a ride on Lesnar's private plane. For shits and giggles..
ReplyDeleteRoman Reigns wrestling himself for 20 minutes = ratings
ReplyDeleteRollins vs Reigns vs Bryan for the title?
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that Brock walks before Wrestlemania, and the main event is Reigns walking around with his won-by-forfeit title, smirking.
ReplyDeleteIf that were to happen... oh, to be a fly on the wall when Vince asks Bryan to save the show.
ReplyDeleteGetting pissed just weeks before having to drop the title at the biggest show of the year=getting more money
ReplyDeleteHe can warm up the crowd with some jokes until they give him the title.
ReplyDeletePay Brock what you promised, no problem. Start doing some weird math, and there's a problem. Brock doesn't go for that carny/VKM is a father figure/you're all just lucky to be here BS.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling this is going to happen.
ReplyDeleteAlso a possibility.
ReplyDeleteThere must me something in Brock's DNA where he is compelled before Wrestlemania to jump ship.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, If Brock quits, I can see Bryan vs. Reigns for the vacant title, with Reigns winning (I don't want it but I can see it). I would laugh my ass off, however, if the guy they had Taker job to at WM, the guy they've been building up to and and made to look as the best in the company for a year, quits right before Mania.
A week from Monday is "several weeks"?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing they offered him a lowball contract renewal.
ReplyDeleteIf the worst case scenario happened with Brock, I think this the way to go. I could even live with Orton being added and having a fatal four way.
