Earlier Tuesday on Wrestling Rumors, it was noted there has been some turmoil backstage between WWE and its world heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar reportedly walked out on “Monday Night Raw” in the middle of the show, without explanation to the majority of the staff. It was then said the dispute between the company and the “Beast Incarnate” stemmed over finances, and nothing related to his creative position on television.
Going off those reports, it was said Lesnar had arrived to “RAW” via a private plane, and had hopped right back on in the middle of the show. However, a tweet sent out Tuesday morning appears to be a rumor killer to such.

As seen above, Lesnar was still in Nashville Tuesday morning, meaning perhaps the incident between he and WWE hadn’t escalated to nearly the level it was previously believed to have.
Lesnar is set to take on Roman Reigns with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line at WrestleMania. Vince McMahon addressed the situation during a production meeting for “Smackdown” Tuesday, though he did not go into details as to what went down between the two sides.
Editor’s Note
Again, this is something that needs to get solved ASAP. Whether it’s contractual, sponsorship related or whatever else, it must be solved fast.
