5 recent news and rumors about Brock Lesnar: UFC star asks for a fight with The Beast, former US Champion sends a message

#2. Dutch Mantell critical of WWE for "preposterous" Brock Lesnar fine

On the most recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell said that the $1,000,000 fine WWE levied on Brock Lesnar was excessive. He said that it took away from the credibility of the storyline as the fans wouldn't believe Lesnar was fined such a big amount.

"Nobody believes he fined Brock Lesnar one million dollars. Don't you think that's excessive? Why not 50,000 dollars? People would have bought that, maybe. 50,000 or no more than a 100 [thousand], but he fined him 1 million dollars. This whole show was – that was preposterous and I've never used that word before, but it was just crazy he was fined one million dollars. I'm thinking 'Come on guys. Please, at least stay in the realm of believability. Just a little bit. I'm begging you.'" said Dutch Mantell.

#1. Cesaro's message to Brock Lesnar

After Brock Lesnar's rampage on the October 22 episode of SmackDown, Cesaro was the one to calm him down. The Swiss star tweeted a message, possibly a reference to the Avengers pacifying the Hulk in the MCU, to Lesnar after the show.

A section of the fanbase was hopeful of a match between Cesaro and Lesnar after the former United States Champion aligned himself with Paul Heyman, but a feud between them is unlikely.
