20 WWE And UFC Controversies Created By Brock Lesnar
9. No Showing RAW
Another big incident surrounding Lesnar's contract negotiations with the WWE in early 2015 involved Brock Lesnar blowing up backstage following a meeting with Vince McMahon, and storming out, no-showing Monday Night RAW in the process. This sort of act is always a big deal and frequently leads to suspension, but Lesnar was the champion at the time and heading into WrestleMania. Cooler heads prevailed, but it's safe to say that fans in Nashville TN, who had expected to see the Beast live at the event, were peeved, and rightfully so: Lesnar had been advertised as appearing at the event for weeks, and was probably the biggest draw on the card as the WWE champion.
