#2 Brock Lesnar's kind gesture for the WWE roster

Good guy Brock!

This particular incident took place during the Monday Night RAW episode on January 26, 2015, one day after that year's Royal Rumble PPV. It was Roman Reigns who won the Royal Rumble the other night and he was on the path to take on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31 for the WWE Heavyweight Championship.

The episode of RAW was supposed to take place at Hartford, Connecticut but a massive snowstorm caused WWE to postpone the show and instead air it from their headquarters at Stanford. Former WWE Superstar and current WWE commentator, Corey Graves revealed on his podcast "After the Bell" how Brock Lesnar made a kind gesture towards the WWE roster and by giving the bar significantly extra money to keep it open for his fellow WWE Superstars.

“The show was very interesting. They re-aired the Royal Rumble match from the night before [and aired] a few backstage interviews with Roman, Brock Lesnar and many others, and allegedly, [the] now WWE Champion paid a significant amount of money to keep the bar wide open for everybody to make sure they made the best of a crappy situation. I, of course, stayed in a completely different hotel, but it led to me finding the only open establishment in the scenic Stamford, CT where myself and two-thirds of The Shield made sure that none of the beers at said establishment went unattended. What a day. Not all bad things came from that snowstorm: fun memories, fun times but let’s hope RAW doesn’t get canceled ever again.”
