Shocking reason behind WWE's booking of Brock Lesnar - Reports

Brock Lesnar shocked everyone at WWE Wrestlepalooza when he went over John Cena in their potential final match against each other in the company. According to a new report, there's a shocking reason behind Lesnar going over Cena.

Brock Lesnar immediately went after John Cena when Cena lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in New Jersey. After a few weeks, The Beast Incarnate reemerged on the weekly product and attacked The Franchise Player, which set a one-on-one between the two at Wrestlepalooza in Indiana.

However, the shocker of the night was when Brock Lesnar won the said match against John Cena following 6 F5s in the middle of the ring. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), there's a shocking reason behind putting The Beast Incarnate over in The Leader of the Cenation's final run in WWE.

According to the report, the management wants to make the three-time Universal Champion as strong as possible in the promotion following his return due to the amount of money spent on him as a performer. The booking was done not only to push him but also for The Beast to be eventually conquered by a new face. As for Cena, the management also feels he's bulletproof, and the loss wouldn't hurt him on his way out.
