2) Backstage Note On Brock Lesnar’s Return (Part 1)

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE was a very last-minute deal.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

“For Lesnar, he showed up after Reigns had pinned John Cena to win the main event after a grueling match. His music played. He looked big, but didn’t look as hard physically, in the sense he at least didn’t look like he got major advanced notice of this. That was confirmed by those closest to the situation say it was later than that, saying it was literally a last minute deal that was put together for a number of reasons, all in some form related to FOX, C.M. Punk showing up in AEW and John Cena leaving.”

My Take:

  • This isn’t surprising. I could see Vince giving Brock a boatload of money to show up at the last second and he happily obliged.
