By WrestleMania 35 season, Brodie was seriously fed up. WWE had extended his contract for another six months due to a prior injury, and he had nothing planned for the biggest period of the year. Realising he had nothing left to lose, Lee acquired Vince McMahon's number and sent his boss a text to ask what was happening.

Firing back, Vince asked why Harper wasn't in the pre-show Battle Royal.

Brodie (rightly) responded, "Sir, that's probably a question you should be able to answer". When he typed that out in front of her, Lee's wife couldn't believe that he'd hit 'send'. There was no recourse for such a dig at the boss; McMahon replied that he was now involved in the match and later chastised his writers for leaving the big man out.

This sums up how some are treated in the WWE system. Brodie went to bat for himself and flippantly pointed out that the boss of the entire company should know why he wasn't doing anything. Then, just like that, he had a 'Mania spot.
