The Wrestling Observer has some new details about Brock Lesnar’s issues with WWE that caused him not to be used on Raw. As you surely recall, Lesnar was booked for the show but wasn’t used because he was visibly angry over what have been reported to be “business issues” with his contract renegotiations with the company. Paul Heyman went out on his own for the segment and Lesnar ended up leaving the arena before the show was over.
According to the site, the argument between Lesnar and Vince McMahon became especially heated. While the specific issue with the contract isn’t know, it is known that there have been issues with recent contract negotiations where after coming to a verbal agreement, the physical contract contains language that doesn’t match the original agreement such as lengthy non-competes clauses. WWE began trying to push those clauses after CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio left.
According to the site, things were bad enough that WWE’s creative team asked McMahon if they should come up with an alternate scenario for WrestleMania that doesn’t include Lesnar in case things broke down to that level. McMahon told them not to and suggested that he would sue for breach of contract if Lesnar refused to work the show.
