BROCK LESNAR shocked the WWE Universe with a surprise appearance on SmackDown just hours after his alleged walkout.
Numerous reports flooded on Friday night suggesting that Lesnar stormed out of the arena before the show went live on FOX.
The ex-UFC star was reportedly unhappy with the news of longtime WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon retiring effective immediately.
According to the Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez, The Beast said before leaving: “If he’s gone, I’m gone.”
Fightful reports that the situation that led to the 45-year-old’s departure had been completely “overblown”.
However, the fallout led to last-minute changes in the script as WWE management was unsure if or when the ex-UFC Heavyweight Champion would return.

Lesnar was initially scheduled to appear during the beginning of the show but was absent throughout the entire opening segment.
That led the creative team to keep the script of the show’s ending open in case the ex-WWE Champion returned.
The 10-time world champion ultimately showed up moments after the main event, which saw Madcap Moss as well as The Street Profits beating Theory and The Usos via disqualification.
Mr Money in the Bank Theory picked up his briefcase and repeatedly smashed Moss with it.

That is when Lesnar’s music hit and he made his way to the ring to deliver two F5s to the ex-US Champion and bring the show to a close.
There have also been rumours suggesting the former Universal Champion will not attend SummerSlam next week to face Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns but the match is still on.
