5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Original plans for The Rock on SmackDown, 4-time WWE World Champion arrested

#5 Hope isn't true: Brock Lesnar not necessarily staying on SmackDown

Is Lesnar going to be on SmackDown

We will get to the Cain Velasquez part shortly after. Our focus, for now, will be Brock Lesnar and his status in WWE. He defeated Kofi Kingston in a ten-second match to capture a World Championship for the eighth time in his WWE career.

Since it was on SmackDown and the WWE Championship has been a property of the blue brand for the last three years, the general assumption is that Lesnar will be the top star of the brand.

It also makes sense since it had been 15 and a half years since he has wrestled on SmackDown and it would be a change in environment for him. However, speaking to Gary Cassidy on an episode of Dropkick DiSKussions, Tom Colohue said that Lesnar's WWE title win doesn't mean that he'll be staying on SmackDown.

Even before this show [RAW], I was told, ‘Maybe don’t take it as read that Brock Lesnar is a SmackDown guy now.’ In fact, don’t take it that anyone is an anything guy right now. We saw Heavy Machinery getting a RAW Tag Team Championship match. We’ve got The Revival, who are apparently a RAW team, as SmackDown Tag Team Champions now. Going into the draft, there is no 'Wildcard' because no one is anything. No one is RAW, no one is SmackDown.”

We hope this isn't true because Brock Lesnar shouldn't take the title to RAW. If they want to create a buzz about the Velasquez match, people should be tuning into SmackDown.
