Clarification On Brock Lesnar Returning To Friday’s SmackDown Tapings

Some clarification on how the events of last night went down.

Prior to SmackDown last night, it was reported that Lesnar had stormed out of the SmackDown tapings this week due to Vince McMahon announcing his retirement. Lesnar would return to the tapings, showing up at the end of the show and laying out Mr Money In The Bank, Theory.

Now, Fightful Select have further clarification on the events that transpired backstage at the show:

WWE had pulled Brock Lesnar from advertising as they weren’t sure that he’d actually be at the show. However, we’re told that things blew over, and Lesnar returned. One source called the situation “overblown” but admitted they didn’t know if he’d end up actually being on the show. The script was re-written and didn’t feature Brock Lesnar at all. The rundown also did not feature Lesnar, and the last segment was left in a way that Lesnar could be included.

Whatever the situation was backstage, it is nothing but positive news that Brock Lesnar would return to the tapings after calming down.
