How did fans react to Brock Lesnar's rumored request to WWE?
Fans had various responses to Lesnar's reported request to WWE. Some fans did not want Vince McMahon to be in any creative decision-making process.
Check out some of the fan reactions below:
The former world champion seemingly legitimately hated Vince McMahon back in the day. Brock Lesnar didn't mince his words while attacking McMahon in his book Death Clutch, which came out in 2011. Since then, Lesnar has grown quite close to Vince McMahon over the years.
Last year, Lesnar was reportedly upset after learning that McMahon had retired from pro wrestling. Triple H later confirmed the reports while speaking with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport.
"There’s some truth to it, yea. You have to understand Brock’s relationship with Vince. […] Vince is the devil he knows. Brock is inherently not a trusting person, he doesn’t like people. He’s not a trusting person. I think in that moment when you just hear Vince is out.’ And now what’s gonna happen? I’m out of here.” [H/T Essentially Sports]
Brock Lesnar's last match in the company came against Bobby Lashley at Crown Jewel. Despite being taken to the cleaners by The All Mighty, Lesnar emerged victorious. As Royal Rumble approaches, it remains to be seen when he can return to the company.
