Backstage News on Vince’s Reaction to Lesnar at UFC 184

We also noted that during Lesnar’s meeting with Vince McMahon at Raw last week, one of the things discussed was Brock Lesnar working for UFC in addition to working for WWE. It was noted Vince McMahon did not have a problem with Lesnar wanting to fight for UFC while under contract with WWE, however according to Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, Lesnar told Vince he wanted to attend UFC 184 to begin contract negotiations with the promotion. Vince was reportedly strongly against the idea of Lesnar attending a UFC event while under contract with WWE.

Needless to say, according to F4WOnline.com, Vince McMahon was not happy when Lesnar did in fact appear at the PPV Saturday night.

I’m not sure how similar the situations were, but if you recall, when CM Punk was working in WWE he had an issue in which he wanted to accompany Chael Sonnen to the Octagon for a fight, but Vince would not allow it. Punk has publicly talked about the issue, saying he feels a double standard exists in that he was not allowed to accompany Sonnen to the ring, but Triple H was allowed to accompany Floyd Mayweather to the ring. 

Lawler DVD News

According to PWInsider.com, the WWE produced Jerry Lawler DVD will be released this May. WWE has reportedly acquired a lot of Memphis material for the set.
