This week in WWE social media: Seth Rollins controversy, Huge Corbin botch, more

#4 Kofi Kingston lashes out at Brock Lesnar

Kofi Kingston

This week's season premiere began with the explosive return of Brock Lesnar, and The Beast laid utter waste to both Rey Mysterio and Mysterio's son Dominick.

For the past few weeks, Dominick has played a very integral role in his father's WWE storyline, as Dominick is the one who talked his father out of retiring to continue competing in the ring. The advice paid off, as Mysterio earned a Universal title match on RAW this week, only to have that bout taken away from him after a brutal beatdown from Brock Lesnar.

Mysterio was not the only victim of Lesnar, however, as The Beast also destroyed Mysterio's son Dominick, and the young man had to be carried out of the arena on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance.

Brock Lesnar will next face Kofi Kingston for the WWE title on the SmackDown premiere on FOX Sports this week, and Kingston Tweeted the following after Lesnar's actions on RAW this week:

Facing @brocklesnar this Friday was about challenging myself & further solidifying my WWE Title reign.As a father, after watching what he did to @reymysterio & his child, now it’s about beating a reckless, egotistical, asshole & making him go away forever.Let’s go.#SmackDown https://t.co/FpOMuUnJHJ

Needless to say, tensions are running very high heading into WWE SmackDown this week, and Lesnar's actions on RAW coupled with Kingston's follow-up comments on Twitter have made Friday's title bout one of the most anticipated in recent memory.
