Why Lesnar was not on Raw and it may not be good. UPDATED

He walked out of the show.

Thanks Obama

So...

Is he coming back or...

What going on?

This is not good.

I hope we find out the real reason soon.

Moppy should have ended the streak.

Good for Brock. They've been overusing him. Give the guy a break!

I'm sure this is 100% false but here you go:

Mods: You can PM me if you feel the absolute need to get some certification out of this as to my identity as long as that remains between you and me. I'll try and respond as promptly as possible but I am out the door when I finish posting this. I should be back a little after midnight PT. If I don't reply immediately I'll respond in the morning before again I head out.
Here is the full story from what I have been told from a very reliable source. First, Brock Lesnar was not expected to put over Roman Reigns on the microphone nor was he expected to be part of the segment that featured Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman putting Reigns over. Rather, Lesnar was expected to be a part of the main event. Lesnar's walkout occurred in the hour or so following the Bryan-Heyman-Reigns segment. It is this reason why literally nothing of particular note to Reigns occurred in the main event aside from the Bryan tag-in which the commentators quickly put over as a bit of retaliation of what happened pre-Fast Lane now that they're all buddy buddy (Bryan-Reigns).
Daniel Bryan was made aware of the situation before he cut his promo. Before Bryan did the professional thing that was required of him, putting Reigns over, you can clearly see much more intensity in the promo. That was the makings of a very good promo. It was also cut straight from the hip from a guy who feels legitimately robbed of his main event status at Wrestlemania for the chosen one who really ed up in a pretty big way. Reigns failed the WWE's drug testing policy. The higher ups in the WWE were made aware of Reigns's failure early Monday morning.
Clearly all involved are very disappointed in Reigns. It has brought back discussion of Jeff Hardy's drug test failure prior to Wrestlemania XXIV where it was highly likely that he was to win his first championship (which was delayed until Armageddon in December). Many feel that Reigns should be forced to forfeit his position at Wrestlemania and take the suspension. However, Vince McMahon is backing "his boy" and made the decision not to suspend him as there is more than 30-days to go before Wrestlemania.
However, given the current situation in the UFC with the steroids controversy, Brock Lesnar is beyond infuriated with that decision. His legitimate fear is that should he choose to return to the UFC, quite likely given the money that Dana is offering, his Wrestlemania main event status against Roman Reigns links him directly to failed drugs tests in the media. It's a guilty by association issue for Brock and a perfectly understandable one. Lesnar has demanded that Reigns be replaced preferably with Daniel Bryan or John Cena, both of whom he is happy to put over given their popularity. Lesnar does not particularly care if the much smaller Bryan were to defeat him - it's a non-issue due to the known 'scripted' nature of professional wrestling - as it wont effect his UFC reputation. Again, Vince McMahon has said that Reigns would not be replaced in the main event of Wrestlemania. Lesnar walked out.


NEW EDIT: Mets didn't post it.

Apparently Mets posted it. It's being verified or something. This only came up an hour ago. I still don't believe it, but it's interesting at least.

I scrolled through the comments. I'm honestly not sure if they actually said it was him. I'm sure Meltzer will be all over it soon.
