Brock Lesnar Walks Out

It looks like CM Punk left a legacy when he left the WWE. Last Monday, Brock Lesnar walked out on RAW before the show was over. Coincidentally it was the day after a pay-per-view. After all, it was CM Punk who "made walking out look cool."  

Lesnar was booked to appear on RAW, but because he was visibly angry over business issues with his contract re-negotiations with the WWE, Paul Heyman went out on his own for the segment and Lesnar ended up leaving the arena before the show was over. The specific issue with the contract isn't known, but rumor has it that it was over Lesnar wanting to fight for UFC again. 

Brock Lesnar was negotiating the possibility of wrestling for the WWE and fighting for UFC at the same. Considering his part time status, it wouldn't affect Lesnar's schedule too much if he did work for both companies. This apparently did not set well with Vince McMahon and the two men could not come to an agreement on the subject, thus causing Lesnar to walk out. When asked about the main event at Wrestlemania, McMahon's response was that he would sue Lesnar for going against his contract if he was a no-show. 

Again, that is only a rumor, but with Lesnar's appearance at UFC this past weekend, that rumor just might be true. Lately there have been issues with recent contract negotiations where after coming to a verbal agreement, the physical contract doesn't match the original agreement, such as lengthy non-competes clauses. WWE began trying to push these clauses after the departure of Punk and Alberto Del Rio. The fans will have to wait until Wrestlemania if Lesnar will defend the title against Roman Reigns or not. If not, then it could affect Reigns' future in the WWE.
