• Backstage Problems Between Brock Lesnar & WWE?

Daniel Cormier won the UFC Heavyweight Championship this past Saturday in the main event of UFC 226. After the match, everyone was in shock as Brock Lesnar returned to the octagon and confronted DC. Lesnar re-entered the USADA testing pool after which the news came out that his suspension will be over by January.

Even though, it was something which every WWE and UFC fan was talking about, WWE did not give much attention to it. WWE did not sell the Universal Champion’s appearance at UFC 226 and no mentions were made of it at RAW last night. The only mention that WWE made about it was on their website.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter says that this could be a sign of some backstage problems between Brock and WWE.

Meltzer thinks it was interesting that WWE did not mention Brock at all. WWE covered Ronda Rousey’s Hall of Fame induction but did not give attention to Lesnar’s appearance which was far more significant than the induction. According to him, WWE thinks that Lesnar is not loyal to the wrestling fans and they might have to get behind some other top guy like Roman Reigns.

Meltzer says he will find out what’s going on regarding Brock Lesnar but he thinks there’s definitely something wrong and it could even bring a twist to the Universal Title picture in the future.
