#6 Brock Lesnar spotted with an interesting new look

It came as a pretty big surprise to pretty much everyone when WWE let Brock Lesnar’s contract expire last year. He is expected to return at some point but has been pretty much under the radar in recent months. The Beast Incarnate’s last match in the company came at WrestleMania 36 where he faced Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.

#5 John Cena’s advice stopped former WWE Superstar from being fired

Heath Slater recently sat down for an interview with the Such Good Shoot podcast. During the interview, the former WWE Superstar opened up about The Nexus’ debut in 2010.

The faction, which consisted of eight NXT stars led by Wade Barrett, laid waste to the arena and in the aftermath, Daniel Bryan was fired for choking Justin Roberts with his tie. He was later hired back by WWE and the rest is history.

As far as Slater’s role, he revealed that he was about to choke John Cena when The Face That Runs The Place advised him to stop with the choking and that advice may have saved him from being fired too. Here’s what Slater had to say:

"You can even see in that one part with the ropes down. I grabbed the rope and I go to choke Cena with it. And he literally takes it off. He's like, ‘No, no, no, no choke.’ You know that type deal. ‘Alright,’ and you see me just drop it off."

Heath Slater is currently signed with IMPACT Wrestling.
