Beast Switch: Brock Lesnar Does Appear On WWE SmackDown After All, What Happened

That could have been worse. Friday was one of the busiest days in WWE history, as not only did Triple H return to his role as Head of Talent Relations, but Vince McMahon also retired from the company entirely. That is the kind of day you never expect to see happen and it remains to be seen how far some of these changes go. Now though we do know one change that doesn’t seem to have happened.

Following McMahon’s announcement, another story broke saying that Brock Lesnar had walked out on SmackDown and would not be appearing. However, Lesnar did appear at the end of the show and attacked Theory. According to Fightful Select, a wrestler said that the situation was “overblown” but it was not clear if Lesnar would be back for the show or not. The ending was intentionally written so that it could take place with or without Lesnar being involved.

Opinion: Thankfully things seem to have calmed down, but it could have been quite the mess had things not gone this way. If nothing else, WWE needs Lesnar to get through Summerslam next week as they don’t have anyone else to put into his spot. It seems that Lesnar got upset and then calmed down, possibly with another few numbers added to his check. If so, good for him, but what matters is that he’s back when WWE needs him.

What do you think of Lesnar’s appearance this week? How will his Summerslam match go? Let us know in the comments below.
