• “Dwayne Johnson excuses” – Why Brock Lesnar Wanted A Private Jet
Paul London offered insight into how the WWE locker room reacted when Brock Lesnar abruptly left the company in 2004, describing the moment as eye-opening and unsettling for many on the roster.
Speaking about the situation on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast, London recalled a meeting where WWE gathered talent to address Lesnar’s decision to walk away. Lesnar, who was leaving to pursue a career in professional football, explained his departure directly to the roster. For many wrestlers, the reality of the situation was jarring, given Lesnar’s position at the very top of the company.
London explained that Lesnar was already operating separately from much of the locker room at the time, including traveling on his own private jet. Despite his championship status, financial success, and unprecedented leverage within the company, Lesnar did not come across as fulfilled. That contrast left a strong impression on London, who found it troubling that someone who had seemingly made it in every possible way still chose to walk away.
“They called everybody into a room and made him basically say in front of all of us. It was like a meeting to basically say like he is going to be leaving and this is why and he was the champion, had bought his own jet so that he didn’t have to be around the rest of us or the people or whatever his reasoning was. I can’t remember.
Part of it, I think, was because he wasn’t getting enough time to get his workouts in, right? It’s like one of these Dwayne Johnson excuses. And, (he) just was still miserable, making millions of dollars, has his own jet, and is still miserable. And the champion, like, we can’t go any higher position wise. Still miserable.”
According to London, the moment exposed a deeper issue within WWE’s environment. He described it as a realization that success, money, and power did not automatically lead to satisfaction, and that even the company’s top star could be unhappy enough to leave at the peak of his run. For younger or less-established wrestlers, the situation challenged the belief that reaching the top of WWE guaranteed long-term fulfillment.
• AJ Lee Jokes About CM Punk’s WWE Dating History
AJ Lee knows exactly who she married, and she isn’t afraid to have a little fun with his past. During an episode of Hot Ones Versus, the former WWE Divas Champion turned a standard Mount Rushmore question into a hilariously awkward moment for her husband, CM Punk.
The segment took a turn when Punk, reading the question, jokingly asked AJ to name her “Six Grandfathers” instead, referencing the original name of the mountain before the faces were carved. AJ’s list was Chyna, Lita, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, herself, and Bayley, but she couldn’t help but notice a pattern.
Looking at the names, AJ joked, “You’ve dated a lot of these women, sorry. Is that awkward? You have very good taste.”
