Brock Lesnar was seemingly not in the best of moods ahead of this week's SmackDown
Following Vince McMahon's retirement tweet, Brock Lesnar reportedly left SmackDown. He was set to promote his upcoming SummerSlam clash against Roman Reigns on the blue brand, but that might not be the case any longer.
Lesnar also hinted that he could follow in the long-term WWE CEO/Chairman's footsteps after his retirement. As per Bryan Alvarez, the 45-year-old reportedly said the following:
'If he's gone, I'm gone.'
Check out Alvarez's tweet regarding the same below:
Brock's line was some derivative of, "If he's gone, I'm gone."
Lesnar returned to WWE a few weeks ago. He interrupted Roman Reigns and The Bloodline's celebration following The Tribal Chief's win over Riddle on the blue brand.
The two men were set to cross paths in a Last Man Standing Match at SummerSlam. However, the status of the match is currently unclear. Expect a lot to unfold on this week's SmackDown within the next few hours.
