Lesnar was upset over McMahon’s retirement

Triple H sat down for an interview with BT Sport, ahead of Clash at the Castle and spoke about the situation with Lesnar on the night Vince McMahon retired.

The host asked him whether Lesnar being upset over McMahon’s retirement and leaving the arena was true.

Triple H replied, “There’s some truth to it, yea. You have to understand Brock’s relationship with Vince. […] Vince is the devil he knows. Brock is inherently not a trusting person, he doesn’t like people. He’s not a trusting person. I think in that moment when you just hear Vince is out.’ And now what’s gonna happen? I’m out of here.”
