10 Wrestlers Who Managed To Get Themselves Out Of Terrible Ideas

10. Brock Lesnar

Remember last year's SummerSlam event? If not, that's okay - apart from the John Cena versus AJ Styles match, it wasn't very memorable. In any event, the show-closing angle - after Brock Lesnar gave Randy Orton a concussion pretty much with the company's blessing - saw Lesnar lay out Smackdown commissioner Shane McMahon with an F5.

That was supposed to lead to a WrestleMania 33 match between Lesnar and Shane. Those plans only changed when Goldberg agreed to work a program with "The Beast" through WrestleMania, meaning that Goldberg picked up the win at Survivor Series so Lesnar could get it back at 'Mania.

Apparently, though, that wasn't the only thing that put off the match. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Brock Lesnar refused to wrestle Shane at the show of shows - he was "adamant" about it and made his position very clear to management. Lesnar's gain was AJ Styles's loss, though, as "The Phenomenal One" had to drag Shane to something watchable instead.
