Dave Meltzer is reporting via F4WOnline.com that the reason for Brock Lesnar’s absence last night on RAW is still not totally clear.
Apparently there is a plan in place to help Roman get cheered at WrestleMania and the most likely scenario is that someone came up with the idea when WWE still had enough time to tell Brock and Heyman not to come to Anaheim. Neither were backstage for last night’s RAW.
Meltzer confirms that Lesnar was in Vegas the day before and the photo of he and Dana White was taken Sunday afternoon.
According the report WWE is trying to make the build to Roman vs Brock as much like a shoot as possible. With that said, while Roman did cut a shoot style promo on RAW last night it was, in fact, scripted.
