Brock Lesnar, since winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, has changed completely. He is not acting the way he would usually and has also learned some new dance moves. But nothing has changed permanently though. The Beast we are seeing right now would waste no time showing his perilous side to the WWE Universe.
On May 31, Stephanie McMahon announced via Twitter that the McMahon family would punish Lesnar and Heyman for disrespecting WWE. Later, Heyman informed the fans that The Beast would be cashing in on the Raw before WWE Super ShowDown. Both parties will be present in the building and we could expect some exciting drama.
Even though it is now confirmed that Lesnar is going to cash in on Raw, there is no guarantee that he will. It has happened before; WWE promised something and then didn’t keep it. In this article, we will look at five reasons why Vince McMahon won't let Brock Lesnar cash on Monday Night Raw.
#5 Brock Lesnar is coming to Raw but for boosting ratings and not for cashing in the briefcase
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The former Universal Champion was present on last week’s Raw and wanted to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. When Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman read the contract’s legal terms, The Beast learned a new rule - that he has a whole year to cash in his briefcase.
Then, he took the mic and laughed at Rollins, and told him that the cash in would not happen now (perhaps a year later). And suddenly now, he decided to use the briefcase, which might be another swerve Lesnar is pulling.
Heyman and Stephanie’s announcement has started a heated discussion online and it means that more fans will be watching next Raw, which is what WWE wants from us. They might want Lesnar to keep the briefcase with himself and it’s why he could deflect from his words.
#4 He will cash in at Super ShowDown
Last week, Baron Corbin defeated Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, and The Miz to earn a Universal Championship shot against Seth Rollins in Saudi Arabia.
The match was previously advertised for the show but new reports suggested that Lesnar would cash in his contract here. Now that Corbin is confirmed as Rollins’ next opponent, what will Lesnar do?
Another reason why he may not cash in on Raw is that he could cash it in in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Next week, WWE will return to the Arabian country and it’s unlikely that Lesnar will rest in his home. So on Raw, he could make any excuse and avoid his cash in and then, without a notice, travel to Saudi Arabia and face The Kingslayer (after he beats Baron Corbin).
But here's the question: will Lesnar regain the Universal Championship or lose another match at the hands of Rollins?
#3 Seth Rollins isn't ready to lose his title
Since the Money in the Bank is in Lesnar’s hands, I can assure you that he won't fail to cash in. Superstars who have unsuccessfully cashed in their contract weren’t like Lesnar. They had their issues with WWE and the company decided to take their briefcases away. However, it seems unlikely to happen with Lesnar.
In the latest WWE NEWS, WWE has already received a ton of backlash for giving the Money in the Bank to The Beast and now, they would definitely want him to win a title. Otherwise, his victory would prove to be pointless. But what about the champions? Since Raw is WWE’s flagship show, Rollins is likely to lose his title against Lesnar (because the latter might not work on SmackDown) but will Vince pull the trigger so early?
The Kingslayer beat Lesnar at WrestleMania and it would be early to take his title away. Perhaps Vince might send a Superstar to interrupt The Beast during his cash in and set a match between the two.
#2 Brock Lesnar hasn’t wrestled on Raw or SmackDown in the last 15 years
Even though Paul Heyman said that Lesnar would cash in his contract on Raw, is there any truth in it? The Beast hasn’t wrestled on any WWE weekly show since 2004 and that was 15 years ago!
He only wrestles where WWE sees massive return and that includes their big four pay-per-views and other some international shows. If Lesnar will cash in on Raw, then he would have to fight Seth Rollins, as there’s no other way he could win the title.
However, considering he hasn’t wrestled on the show since ages isn’t it likely that WWE would find a way to keep him from fighting? Lesnar is big cheese, and it’s unlikely that he would fight on Raw, as WWE would rather want him to work on their pay-per-views.
#1 The McMahon family won’t let Lesnar do it
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman aren’t coming to Raw alone. The McMahons will also be there to punish the duo, as they have insulted WWE.
As of now, it is likely that the WWE will suspend Lesnar for disrespecting the company, because it's a common way they punish wrestlers. Stephanie has already suspended him from WWE for 30 days and it wouldn’t be shocking if it happens again.
And in this time period, he could either stay at home or return before his suspension ends to cash in the briefcase. Vince is great at fooling the fans and he has done it many times.
The Beast has won the briefcase, and there’s a reason for it, which isn't to lose it without winning a title. Whether you like it or not, it’s almost confirmed that Lesnar will successfully cash in his contract. All we have to do is to wait and see when it happens.
