Dave Meltzer and Ric Flair are reportedly wrong about Becky Lynch losing the legal right to use ‘The Man’ nickname in WWE, according to Sean Ross Sapp.
For those asking, WWE and Becky Lynch are still very much able to use "The Man," moniker, they just opted to move away from the moniker. They're still selling "The Man" merch, and can continue using it whenever they choose.

Brock Lesnar is undoubtedly one of the most dominant pro wrestlers to have ever competed inside the squared circle. He had two tremendous runs in WWE, both of which resulted in him winning major World Championships and being a huge draw for fans. Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE television ever since he dropped the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 last year. Brock Lesnar was also previously called out by a Superstar from Monday Night RAW.
Brock Lesnar made his return at WWE SummerSlam and then appeared on a previous episode of Friday Night Smackdown and confronted Roman Reigns for a WWE Universal Championship match, which he eventually accepted.
The two were set to square off against each other at WWE Crown Jewel for the WWE Universal Championship on October 21st in Saudi Arabia. At the event, Brock Lesnar ended up losing the match after interference from The Usos and Roman Reigns using the WWE Universal Championship to hit Lesnar in the head.
At WWE Day 1, Brock Lesnar won the WWE Championship after defeating Big E, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley in a Fatal Five-Way match. This is because Roman Reigns could not compete at the pay-per-view and face Brock Lesnar because he tested positive for the virus. Bobby Lashley also won the right to challenge Lesnar for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
As reported by Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE went the extra mile in order to book Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar’s feud.
Instead, in last day negotiations and decision-making, the decision was for Lesnar to dominate the five-way, except for Lashley. He suplexed everyone all over the place. He gave everyone F-5s at one point. But he never delivered an F-5 to Lashley. The key spots were laid out for Lashley to spear Lesnar through the barricade, Lashley to spear Lesnar in the ring but Lesnar would kick out, and for Lashley to get Lesnar in the hurt lock where it would look like Lesnar couldn’t get out until Big E saved.
Then after Lesnar won the title, the closing scene would be Lashley glaring at him. On Raw two days later, the original four-way scheduled for Atlanta would take place in Greenville. Lashley would go over strong, spearing everyone and getting the pin after spearing Owens, to set up Lesnar vs. Lashley as the title match for the Royal Rumble on 1/29 in St. Louis.
