Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, and Tyson Fury have recently negotiated with WWE, Billi Bhatti reports on Keepin’ it 100 with Konnan.
McGregor and Jake would be great fits in WWE, especially with combat sports legend Brock Lesnar being one of WWE’s top stars for 20 years. Several fans would simply agree that Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant pro wrestlers to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. He had two terrific runs in WWE, both of which saw him winning major World Titles and being a huge draw for fans. Brock Lesnar was not seen on WWE television ever since he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 back in 2020. Brock Lesnar was also previously called out by a Superstar from Monday Night RAW.
After being away from WWE television for over a year, Brock Lesnar made his return at WWE SummerSlam in 2021, immediately setting his sights set on Roman Reigns. He also sported a ponytail, which was completely different from what fans were used to seeing him in.
Lesnar won the WWE Championship after defeating Big E, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and Bobby Lashley in a Fatal Five-Way match at WWE Day 1. However, he would lose the title to Bobby Lashley after Roman Reigns interfered in the match thanks to Paul Heyman turning on The Beast Incarnate.
After a hiatus, Lesnar came back and attacked Roman Reigns again. He will face Reigns for his titles at SummerSlam as well. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Newsletter, USA Network officials approved the script in advance and censored the word “sh*tkicking” when Brock Lesnar said it on live TV on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.
WWE was also unaware of the promo being censored.
“This last week on Monday’s Raw, very early in the show, Brock Lesnar used the word ‘sh*t’ and it was bleeped out. USA had that in the script. The word was scripted. He didn’t go off script or anything and they approved it and then when it aired they sound-edited it.
That was a really weird one because I know people in WWE who had no idea that it was edited out and they thought ‘oh yea, they approved us saying this word.’ They edited it out.”
