#3 Rewards bad behaviour
Point blank, Brock Lesnar operates by a different set of rules than the rest of the WWE roster. Even though he’s reportedly getting paid more than any other talent on the roster – including John Cena – Lesnar essentially works whenever he wants in whatever storylines he wants.
That would be frustrating enough, but as a part-timer, he also isn’t subject to random drug testing or the company’s Wellness Policy.
As a result, his suspension following positive drug tests leading up to his UFC fight with Mark Hunt last summer had no effect on his WWE career. As a matter of fact, his next time in the WWE ring, he absolutely destroyed Randy Orton in the main event of SummerSlam and left the Viper a bloody mess in the middle of the ring.
Then there’s his match at WrestleMania 32 with Dean Ambrose. Obviously a non-title street fight against Ambrose in the middle of the card was not what Lesnar was looking for, and he seemed to mail the match in instead of working to make it the best that it could be.
So what does it tell the rest of the roster if the man who did all that within the last year or so gets to hold what should be a top championship?
