Lesnar wasn’t backstage at RAW either as he flew back home on Monday morning.
Regarding fans being upset due to false advertisements for Lesnar’s appearance, Vince McMahon thinks they got a suitable replacement with a surprise Shield reunion.
As seen on this week’s RAW, RAW General Manager Kurt Angle refused to grant Lesnar a rematch for the Universal Championship at Hell In A Cell 2018 PPV.
Lesnar isn’t expected to return to WWE programming for the rest of 2018.
Lesnar’s next WWE appearance will be sometime after his UFC Heavyweight Title fight against Daniel Cormier in 2019.
