Brock Lesnar requested to work with Superstar who WWE were 'sleeping on'

During the latest episode of WWE's After the Bell Podcast, former World Champion Big Show revealed that Brock Lesnar had requested to work with the giant after competing with him at a house show:

“I remember hearing the story that they [WWE] were asking Brock [about] his next opponent, and he goes, ‘I wanna work with Show. He’s a giant, he can work.”

According to Big Show, WWE was essentially 'sleeping on him' before this fued and it was the rivalry with the Beast, which opened the eyes of WWE officials:

“Brock and I started working and tearing the house down and it changed a lot of people’s perceptions of who I was as a talent and who I was as an individual, and I really owe that break to have them [WWE] re-look at me and it’s because of Brock.”

Vince McMahon Reportedly In Doubt About Top WrestleMania Match

It appears that Vince McMahon is having second thoughts about a top WrestleMania match.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there is uncertainty regarding McMahon's feelings on Shayna Baszler. Specifically, the boss was not particularly happy with Baszler's match against Kairi Sane on this week's episode of Raw.

He thought that the bout did not get the desired reaction and the Boss believes that the former NXT Champion was not coming off like someone who can be one of the headliners for WrestleMania.

Shayna Baszler was originally expected to win the Royal Rumble but Vince changed his decision last minute and Charlotte Flair ended up winning the bout.

Shayna Baszler is someone who Paul Heyman sees as a top star. Since she is not getting a push because of McMahon, it looks possible that he changes his mind once again and nixes the WrestleMania match between her and Becky Lynch.

We will know whether or not this is the case at Elimination Chamber.

C’mon. Be better than this. He was attacked by so many selfish people that don’t have empathy also when it comes to his drummer. It’s not easy to replace him last minute. There’s a lot behind a live show. Celebs are human too. Give him a break. https://t.co/aQemDoHu1X

And now Brad Shephard of BodySlam.net reveals that the company could be replacing some current PPVs with the ones that were used by WCW. Starrcade and Halloween Havoc are two shows in particular which could make their return as a PPV.

Tonight's Impact Wrestling Saw a World Title Change happening. Former WWE Star Matt Hardy defeated Ethan Carter III for the World title.

What's notable is that Hardy turned heel to win this championship. He teamed up with Tyrus who was on EC3's side first to defeat him.
