“ ‘I’m NOT working with him” WWE Hall of Famer reveals When Brock Lesnar refused to work with Jinder Mahal for a title match
Follow Us
Brock Lesnar is one of the top-rated superstars in the company right now. Not only he is top-rated but is one of the top-paid superstars as well. The Beast Incarnate holds a significant position backstage and has even asserted his choices on many occasions. A recent example of this was seen at Smackdown when Stephanie McMahon announced Vince’s retirement to WWE Universe, Lesnar had walked out of Smackdown, and while he returned after a while it is worth noting that if any other superstar would have done it then he/she could’ve faced disciplinary action.
Lesnar was last seen in an epic battle with Roman Reigns at Summerslam in a last-man-standing match in a losing effort. While many speculated that it could be Lesnar’s last match, the rumors were put to end quickly as he was advertised for the Day 1 premium live event which is all set to be held on 1st Jan 2023. Lesnar for now remains off the TV and it will need to be seen when he returns to action.

While the match went great WWE Hall of Famer revealed that the match was called off because Lesnar had refused to work with Jinder Mahal. At a recent appearance on The Wrestling Outlaws podcast Dogg discussed the matter in detail and spoke- “Brock said, ‘I’m not working with him. Look, he said that about several people, by the way.” While he didn’t disclose why Lesnar feel that way but ultimately the match didn’t happen.
He also termed Mahal’s title run as a bad creative decision but also said that it was an experiment that Vince wanted, looking at one of the biggest markets in the world. Road Dogg termed the whole thing as a “summer experiment” which had a high chance of getting successful. Dogg said- don’t think that’s a bad idea. You know what I mean? What if it took off? What if it did something at the biggest market on the globe? You know what I mean? Like it’s not a bad roll of the dice because ratings were still pretty decent during it all because we did have other great stuff underneath.”
