Brock Lesnar was one of the key figures named in the new lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon alleging sex trafficking and other abuses. When McMahon himself resigned from TKO/WWE, reports surfaced that many others associated with him would likely be kicked out as well. That may include Lesnar, who was the subject of several rumors and reports related to a possible return in Real battle.
Now, Wrestling observer radio brings the news that Lesnar was indeed planned for the event, but was removed from it on Friday or the day of the show. The decision was made to have top NXT star Bron Breakker replace him and, well, do all the same spots.
As Dave Meltzer said:
“Bron Breakker, because of that, and the fact that the match was already practically written, Bron Breakker essentially filled the role of Brock Lesnar. He came in when Brock Lesnar was going to come in, he kicked out the guys that Brock Lesnar was going to kick out, they kicked him out exactly like they were going to kick out Brock Lesnar.”
Looking back at Breakker’s performance, I felt that Lesnar would be booked for a match like this.
Lesnar’s future with WWE is in doubt, but it couldn’t look better for Breakker, who is also scheduled for the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic at day of revenge one week from today.
