WWE Network aired a behind-the-scenes of WrestleMania 34 as a part of the WWE 24 series. Seemingly furious, Brock Lesnar returned backstage, where Mr. McMahon was sitting in his usual spot watching the main event.
‘The Beast’ walked through the curtain to the backstage area and tossed his Universal title straight at Vince McMahon’s face. Even Lesnar’s mouthpiece, Paul Heyman, followed him silently, without breaking the character.
The real reason for Brock Lesnar’s uncalled behavior was revealed later. As per the reports, ‘The Beast’ was supposed to drop the Universal title to ‘The Big Dog’ and leave WWE for UFC following WrestleMania 34.
However, WWE boss Mr. McMahon changed the plans last minute and decided that Brock Lesnar would keep the Universal title. Since the WrestleMania 34 match was pretty anti-climactic towards Lesnar, he lashed out at Vince McMahon.
