The reason why Brock Lesnar was not on RAW earlier this week

Reports suggest that the WWE creative team had planned on The Rock receiving a beating at the hands of Brock Lesnar on the post-WrestleMania 29 RAW, to create a new feud between the two. The plan was basically to set up a Rock vs Brock match at WrestleMania XXX. It is believed that The Rock himself came up with this idea, but his injury forced him to return to Miami.

This prompted Vince McMahon to have the writing team re-do the entire show on Monday to avoid any kind of panic. The reason why Brock was kept off RAW is that the WWE officials and Vince McMahon did not want to waste a Rock or Brock Lesnar appearance without something sensational happening.

Reports also suggest that it is the start of The Rock’s new contract, and that he has very limited TV dates over the next year.
