8 WWE Wrestlers Brock Lesnar Refused To Work With
8. Jinder Mahal
Here's one everybody knows.
Jinder Mahal was riding high as reigning WWE Champ when announcers gleefully revealed that he'd be going one-on-one with Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2017. WWE even produced a graphic for the bout, then... Brock nixed the match.
Reportedly, Lesnar wasn't thrilled with the thought of working Mahal on pay-per-view. So, bosses had AJ Styles beat Jinder over in the UK for the belt, and lined up AJ as Brock's new opponent. Everybody was happy. Well, except Mahal; he'd been unceremoniously dumped, and the biggest push of his entire career came to a screeching halt because Lesnar didn't want to wrestle him in a non-title exhibition Raw vs. SmackDown clash.
If anyone needs a reminder of the kind of power Brock has behind the curtain, this is it. He single-handedly forced WWE to switch the top prize in the biz from Jinder to Styles for a one-off PPV match few really remember anyway.
