The big story coming out of RAW this week was Brock Lesnar’s absence. Roman Reigns cut a promo about Brock, talking about him hiding behind his contract and missing the show. It has certainly generated some buzz on the web as rumors are now flying about what is happening with Brock.
A new report provides us with an idea about what was originally planned for Brock on the show.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that the original plan was for a lengthy back and forth between Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, and Roman Reigns. This would have included Lesnar calling Reigns a ‘B****’. This was reportedly always scheduled for the second hour of RAW and the Ronda Rousey segment was always planned for the main event slot.
Johnson says that sources tell him that there was no sign of Brock or Heyman backstage at all for the taping. It is not unusual for Brock not to be seen as he usually keeps to himself. Heyman, on the other hand, is usually very social backstage and is always giving talent advice. Both were not seen and it seems likely that they both weren’t at the show at all.
Lesnar’s next advertised appearance is RAW on March 12th, in Detroit. It will be interesting to see what happens. We will let you know when we hear anything more.
Speaking of Lesnar, an interesting photo has been circulating with him and UFC President Dana White. You can check that out here.
