We'll factor in the source before really digging into this rumor, but there are reports suggesting WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar was not a happy camper backstage this past week while WWE was trying to film their tapings, including WrestleMania 36.
While a number of Superstars have said they are glad they can provide entertainment for fans during a time where they might desperately need it, speculation is, other Superstars were not pleased WWE was having them work when health concerns are running rampant throughout the United States. And if so, while WWE has said that any Superstars that didn't want to take part in the tapings didn't have to, it's logical to assume that some felt pressure to appear.
Slice Wrestling noted earlier this week that, specifically, Brock Lesnar was not happy with Vince McMahon for moving forward with WrestleMania 36 and not postponing the show. While a number of other Superstars likely wouldn't say anything, he was apparently quite vocal about his displeasure in being there.
The report suggests Lesnar felt McMahon was more worried about profits than the safety and health of his performers and because he wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, informed WWE Production that he wanted to film his match with Drew McIntyre immediately so he could leave. It continues to suggest WWE Officials tried to explain their strict filming schedule, doing productions in waves to ensure safety, and that he'd have to wait his turn in line.
Allegedly, Lesnar immediately searched out McMahon who at the time was meeting with other key WWE Officials and snapped on Vince, including using colorful language and telling him what he thinks of him making everyone come in and tape the show.
Lesnar Standing Up For the Locker Room?
It's hard to know what to make of this report. First, Lesnar does have a history of saying what he thinks and not shying away from confrontations with Vince. There are also reports of him being impatient at WrestleMania's which is why his title loss to Seth Rollins went on first last year. What also seems a bit off is that the report suggests Lesnar was standing up for issues regarding pay scale bonuses. Brock likely wouldn't care considering his salary structure.
All that said, Lesnar was at the tapings and he didn't necessarily have to be. If he was really that upset about it, logic dictates he just wouldn't have showed after being told he didn't have to.
Again, this is an interesting story but we caution you to consider the source here.
