The Washington Post reports that
WWE has denied claims that WWE Champion Brock Lesnar is currently injured. Fan
speculation started when neither Lesnar nor Paul Heyman appeared on RAW Monday
night, and neither were mentioned much. The rumor was that Lesnar was dealing
with a heart condition.
According to WhatCulture.com: “The
current WWE Champion started his match against John Cena with a completely
normal look. However, after just a couple of minutes, Lesnar was already
sweating profusely and had turned both red and purple in his face. This is
normal for someone undergoing intense physical exertion, but Lesnar was barely
doing anything of note. A rehearsed wrestling match shouldn’t be turning a man
purple. … Fans have noted that in addition to turning red and intensely
sweating, Brock also appeared to be struggling for breath. Yes, he’s a big guy,
but he shouldn’t be reacting like this. It’s a worrying indicator of health
problems such as blood pressure or risk of heart attack.”
However, WWE has denied the claims. They said in a statement that there is
“no truth to the rumors about issues with Brock Lesnar’s health.” They didn’t
explain why Lesnar wasn’t on RAW, but he has been appearing infrequently since
he returned, so his absence shouldn’t be a shock.
