Brock Lesnar may have missed Monday Night Raw, but the WWE tried to fix things by making Lesnar appear during one of the house shows. Unfortunately, the appearance at the house show made fans even angrier! Curious why? Read the latest Brock Lesnar story below!
In 30 Seconds Or Less?

Fans who paid to see a WWE house match were probably pleasantly surprised when they saw none other than Brock Lesnar take on the Big Red Machine Kane.
Of course, the pleasant surprise soon took a nasty turn. Only 35 seconds in the match, Lesnar did an F5 on Kane and pinned the WWE legend.
This is the total time for the @BrockLesnar and @KaneWWE match at #WWECHICAGO. Squash would be an understatement. And yes, that’s seconds. pic.twitter.com/tU6GgptTb8

Naturally, fans were not too pleased with the less-than-interesting match. One fan could even be heard screaming “We paid for this?” during the live event. Lesnar and Heyman quickly hightailed it to the backstage area, leaving many paying fans absolutely furious.
Out-of-Shape Lesnar
There is no denying that Brock Lesnar is quite out-of-shape. Even die-hard Lesnar fans took to Twitter to comment on Lesnar’s physique. His fans did not only comment on his physique though, since many of them had something to say about the length of the match.
Who attended #WWEChicago last night?! I have to say that was one of the most solid house show cards I've seen in a while! I know I'm a Brock Lesnar Guy, but really? 30 seconds Kane gets beat? I wasn't too happy about that. But great show none the less! See you at #Raw tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/ZQy6UNo27L

While there is no shame in having a bit of a belly, it is apparent that Lesnar cannot keep up with lengthy matches. Over the past couple of months, Lesnar has been huffing and puffing his way through main events, so why should fans pay their hard-earned cash to see someone who cannot do what he is paid to do? Sorry WWE, I would much rather spend my hard-earned money on Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and Braun Strowman.
Working It?
If it is Brock’s and Heyman’s intention to turn the crowd against them for WrestleMania, they are undoubtedly doing a good job. Many believe Lesnar and Heyman are purposely ticking off fans, so there would be a lot more fan support for Reigns at WrestleMania.
I do have something to say about this. Lesnar does not even have to try to tick fans off. The “wrestler”, and I use this term generously, has wrestled very little since got the title at WrestleMania, while other champions have busted their behind to keep a hold of the treasured title. It is an insult to anyone who dreams of becoming a WWE Champion, but also a slap in the face for any active wrestler on the roster. He’s not a wrestler, he’s a businessman.
While I have no problems with someone looking out for his paycheck, the Lesnar we remember from years ago is long gone. As far as Lesnar is concerned, his paycheck is what matters most. The passion he had for the business? Sorry, I cannot see it anymore.
Does the title have any value whatsoever at this point? Not really, because many of us have forgotten it even exists! Ever since Lesnar won the title at WrestleMania 33, we knew he was not going to drop it until the next WrestleMania. How is that interesting to watch? And how do you justify feeding superior athletes like Braun Strowman to the “Beast Without Puff”? All I can say is, I am so glad Reigns will take that title away from him. I hope Lesnar returns to the UFC, leaving wrestling to the people who have a passion for it and who find it important to give the crowd a good show.
