While Brock Lesnar was not on last night’s WWE RAW, his advocate and shut ally, Paul Heyman, had a disastrous time. After attempting to hijack the show, Heyman was lured right into a trap by Seth Rollins.
The Visionary laid the WWE Hall of Famer out with a brutal chair shot and followed by a Stomp. As a bloodied Heyman was being loaded into an ambulance, it was revealed that LA Knight was the motive force. Knight mocked The Oracle before speeding off to an unknown location.
In a recent Twitter post, Bully Ray claimed that since Rollins attacked Heyman, Brock Lesnar has loads of reasons to be not joyful. The WWE veteran wrote,
“Seth Rollins didn’t just take out The Oracle. He took out The Advocate. And Brock ain’t gonna be joyful about it.”
Veteran Slams WWE Over Lesnar’s WrestleMania 42 Open Challenge
During a recent episode of his “The Brand” podcast, Vince Russo criticized Lesnar’s open challenge angle for WrestleMania 42. The previous WWE author said,
“So now here we’re. What number of weeks away is WrestleMania? … WrestleMania is five weeks away…whatever. Let’s give them eight weeks. Let’s give them two extra weeks. It doesn’t matter. Here we’re, bro. They usually don’t have an opponent for Brock Lesnar. He’s going to do the open challenge. Once I hear open challenge, bro, and I’m an off-the-cuff fan, here’s the very first thing I’m saying. Once I hear open challenge, the very first thing in my mind is, ‘Oh bro, it’s going to be the goof that accepted Randy Orton’s open challenge… what’s his name again?’ Joe Hendry.”
“Well, the last time they did this, if I’m an off-the-cuff fan and I’m tuning in, Joe Hendry answered the decision. So that they’re going back to that very same well again. And any casual fan who saw the last time is sitting there saying, ‘Oh, who’s it going to be this time?’ They’re just absolutely clueless. Bro, when you don’t have an opponent and a program for Brock Lesnar going into WrestleMania, each person in that freaking room must be fired.”
“They got here up with the very best that they had — open challenge for six different shows upcoming that he’s booked for. So who’re the marquee, who’s it going to be matches? And there’ll be a comedy one, there’ll be a serious one, there’ll be a nostalgia one. It’s only for the pops, like opening a gift. That’s what it’s. Who’s within the mystery box?”
