Top RAW Backstage Rumors: Reason for Paul Heyman's pairing with Roman Reigns; Lesnar update; Heel turn planned for top babyface; Drew McIntyre's return plans (31st August)

#4 Reason why Brock Lesnar has been absent from competition on RAW

Brock Lesnar was last seen in action at WrestleMania 36 where he lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. It was reported that WWE doesn't want to use RAW Superstar Brock Lesnar for the shows being held at the PC as they believed it would be a waste.

Road Warrior Animal revealed while talking on SportsKeeda's Legion of RAW, why Brock Lesnar has still not returned to WWE even though others like Roman Reigns have.

"Brock doesn't want to go back there because of the COVID thing... coming down from Canada, he can't. He lives in Canada, so there's no travelling allowed. I know people see that and they go 'Brock Lesnar should be here'. No, he's living in Canada. He has dual citizenship. You can't cross the border right now. So that's why he's not on TV."

With Paul Heyman being used as Roman Reigns' new manager, it makes it even more certain that Brock Lesnar will not be returning to RAW anytime soon.
