5 times WWE Superstars forgot the script

#1 Brock Lesnar

During his first run in WWE, Brock Lesnar looked comfortable holding a mic, and his weakness rarely showed.

During Lesnar's second run, it became clear that he desperately needed someone to talk on behalf of him. Fortunately, WWE had the right man for the job: Brock Lesnar's former manager, Paul Heyman. Ever since his return to the squared circle in 2012, the WWE Universe has seen Paul Heyman acting as Brock's advocate, with Lesnar being the brawn of the team.

In a backstage promo during a Raw episode, Lesnar completely forgot his lines and proceeded to utter some gibberish for a while, before asking Paul Heyman to take over and "say something stupid" in an ironic fashion. It was clear that Brock Lesnar wasn't built to be a talker. Ever since, Paul Heyman has been handling the talking department for The Beast.

In Lesnar's defense, however, he more than makes up for his lost mic skills with his supreme in-ring skills. There are few superstars in the WWE locker room today who can stand toe to toe with Lesnar.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
