# 4 He's only about money

It's not breaking news, but Lesnar has always operated as a mercenary during his current WWE run. He'll show up on a limited amount of dates and get a ton of money for doing so. Sure it's a sign of a shrewd businessman, but when you're holding one of the company's top prizes, it holds the whole company back.

If he did care, then he'd make more of an effort to sell feuds rather than have Paul Heyman do so. He doesn't show up to meet and greet fans and he doesn't do many live events or house shows. It's not a big problem for every WWE part-timer but the main problem is when they try to make money off of him as a champion.

When Seth Rollins or other full-time superstars shoot on Lesnar and say he doesn't care about WWE, there are huge shreds of truth in those statements. WWE even let Rollins say as much on air to help sell their WrestleMania showdown.

He even appeared on Raw last year and sat backstage the whole time because he said he didn't watch the product. Apparently, according to another rumor, he didn't watch the UFC unless one of his friends was fighting. All Elite Wrestling was started by independent wrestlers who are extremely passionate about the business, hence why they opted not to sign with WWE.

If they really care about wrestling, their image and their product, signing someone who notoriously has operated for himself without much regard for the company would send the wrong message to fans.
