It was also noted that, “sources familiar with the situation say that Brock Lesnar was aware of his creative plans for after WrestleMania nearly a month ahead of time.” He likes to play everything close to the vest, so telling people backstage in WWE that he was “finishing up” was just him working.

The report went on to say that they can’t comment on the fact that all of WWE creative knew what was going to happen. Brock Lesnar’s history with WWE is unique, and his angles are often treated special, with only a select number of people knowing what is going on.

That being said, there were hints of a heel turn in his presentation based on those the outlet spoke to. We’ll have to see where this progresses from here.
