Big Angle Planned For Brock Lesnar
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is a “significant angle” that is going to be a part of Brock Lesnar’s storyline moving forward. This angle will apparently involve more Superstars than just Braun Strowman.
Meltzer speculated on two names who could be involved. The first is Seth Rollins who mentioned Lesnar’s name on RAW this past week, saying his Universal Title win was a slap in the face of the locker room. Meltzer also says that Drew McIntyre is clearly being groomed by WWE for a big run on top and could be involved.
