Brock Lesnar Quits WWE Smackdown

Brock Lesnar was announced to appear on WWE Smackdown tonight.  It didn’t take long for The Beast to appear with Paul Heyman and address the crowd.

Heyman introduced the footage from Crown Jewel.  They actually showed the entire match and angle with Rey Mysterio.  Mysterio attacked Lesnar with a chair after the match.

Heyman made it clear they wanted Rey Mysterio in the ring.  Although, there’s one problem.  Rey Mysterio is a Raw superstar.

With both shows being on different networks, the two men won’t be able to wrestle. Heyman said he approached Vince McMahon and Vince said there was nothing he could do.

Paul Heyman and Lesnar had another plan.  Heyman announced he was quitting Smackdown and would be showing up on Raw on Monday.

Looks like Lesnar is taking the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Raw.  Nothing has been officially announced at this time.

However, this move makes a lot of sense given Raw was left without a main championship after Bray Wyatt won the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel.  There were rumors Bray would be getting traded back to Raw.

It looks like Lesnar is making the swap instead.  It also looks like we’re going to get to see just how far Brock Lesnar can throw a luchador in a German Suplex.
