WWE RAW: Brock Lesnar return date revealed ahead of WrestleMania – Reigns”suspended”

Lesnar, whose contract expires after Mania and has been linked with a return to UFC, was absent again from tonight’s show and that angered Roman Reigns so much that he confronted WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and got “temporarily suspended”.

His suspension though should only a part of the storyline leading to the Universal title match at WrestleMania.

Upon finding out about Lesnar’s absence, Reigns accused him of being WWE Chairman “Vince McMahon’s boy” and receiving special treatment from management.

Reigns told on-screen RAW General Manager Kurt Angle: “It’s not fair and that’s a problem.

“The real problem is Vince McMahon.

“The man that I literally just walked past before I came out here and he didn’t even have the courtesy or the respect to let me know what was happening tonight.

“Instead you had to tell me live on TV out here.

“That’s the man I bust my ass for. I travel all over the world. I’m not at home the majority of the year for him and this company.

“So it’s one thing to be disrespected by Brock Lesnar, but i will not be disrespected by Vince McMahon.”

After a short meeting with McMahon The Big Dog stormed out and the Chairman announced that Lesnar will be back net week and that Reigns is “temporarily suspended” as a result of his actions.

He said: “Does Brock (Lesnar) have special privileges? He does.

“But I think he’s earned most of those privileges.

“And sometimes talent take advantage of things that are given to them and Brock did get a little bit out of line but I assure you this, that next week Brock Lesnar will be here on Monday Night RAW.

“And I assure you that Brock Lesnar will compete for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania against Roman Reigns.

“Let me just say, you’ve got my word on it.

“One other thing, and that is this word of respect and so forth and the lack of it, let me just say that based on what just happened Roman Reigns has been temporarily suspended.”
