#3. Backstage relationship between Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar in WWE

Brock Lesnar has not appeared on WWE TV since WrestleMania 36 and the speculation suggests that he should be back in time for SummerSlam. However, with SummerSlam happening at the Performance Center, will WWE or Brock Lesnar change the plan and save up his date?

Tom Colohue revealed on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that Brock Lesnar respects Vince McMahon so much that he'd show up at a WWE event if the boss asks him. Of course, Brock Lesnar would also show up for the payday, but it was added that Lesnar and McMahon share a great backstage relationship.

Tom noted that Vince McMahon's enjoys a similar connection with Brock Lesnar as he has with The Undertaker.

Tom explained:

I know that's a popular perception, but if Brock Lesnar got us to come down to an NXT rerun that was bound to get less than 20 thousand views, he would come down, he would come down for the payday, and he would come for the respect he has for Vince McMahon. The relationship between Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon is very similar to the relationship between The Undertaker and Vince McMahon.
