Brock Lesnar WWE SmackDown walkout: Backstage news on what actually happened

After reports surfaced suggesting that he walked out of TV filming earlier in the day, WWE legend Brock Lesnar stunned the WWE Universe when he appeared on SmackDown last night.

Reports hinted that Lesnar was noticeably disgruntled by the news of Vince McMahon’s retirement announcement. According to the rumours, Brock walked out of the venue, with uncertainties surrounding his return.

Despite it all, Brock appeared on Friday night’s instalment of WWE SmackDown, confronting Theory after a six-man tag bout.

During the segment, Lesnar gave the 2022 Money in the Bank briefcase winner two devastating F5s, putting a close to the show.

Reports from Fightful, as per ewrestlingnews, suggested that the situation that led to Brock’s departure had been completely “overblown” but the magnitude of the fallout led to changes in the script as WWE staff were unsure of if or when Lesnar would return.

Brock was due to appear early doors on Friday night’s WWE SmackDown, but he was absent during the entirety of the opening segment.

The script to the final segment of the show was left open if Brock was to return.
