Does Brock Lesnar still have his WWE World Heavyweight title rematch clause?

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman

As noted earlier, Brock Lesnar has been indefinitely suspended from the WWE by Stephanie McMahon on the Monday Night Raw episode of Wrestlemania fallout week.

Lesnar inflicted heavy damage in and around ringside when he was denied his WWE World Heavyweight title rematch by the new champion Seth Rollins who managed to escape a beating from the Beast. However, J&J security, Raw announcers team and one of the cameramen fell victim to Lesnar’s fury as he took his frustration out on all of them.

Regarding the rematch clause, Scott Stanford noted on this week’s Raw pre-show that despite his suspension, Brock Lesnar does still have his title rematch clause. He cannot invoke the clause while he is suspended, but whenever the suspension is lifted, he can use the rematch clause.

Immediately after getting suspended, it was noted that Lesnar directly flew back to his home in Minnesota. According to PWInsider reports, the plan is to keep Lesnar away from WWE TV until SummerSlam. They may start a new feud somewhere around that period which would mark the return of him along with Paul Heyman. However, those plans can change anytime considering the fact that these two are WWE’s biggest draws currently.

It was also reported that Michael Cole, who was F5ed by Lesnar as a part of his ongoing assault may be looking to take some legal action for physically attacking him. Cole was kept off TV to sell Lesnar’s angle and is expected to be back by next week. It will be interesting to see how things unfold if Cole does decide to sue The Beast and his advocate.
