5 Times WWE Superstars wanted to leave the company (and how Vince McMahon reacted)

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's initial run with WWE saw him struggling to keep up with the company's hectic schedule. Soon after his WWE title loss to Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar approached Gerald Brisco and made it clear that he was leaving WWE. Lesnar wanted to tell this to Vince McMahon's face and found him chatting with Triple H in the ring.

As per Lesnar's autobiography, "Death Clutch", The Beast told the boss that they needed to have a chat. He told Vince that he didn't want to wrestle in a WWE ring again and wanted to leave. This is what Vince told Lesnar in response:

Well Brock, what about WrestleMania? You can't leave on bad terms that way! You can't do this to me.

The duo reached an agreement and Lesnar went on to lose to Goldberg at WrestleMania 20 in Madison Square Garden. Lesnar and Goldberg were both booed by the audience as the news of both leaving at the same time had become public knowledge by that point. It would be 8 long years until Lesnar made his return to a WWE ring.
