#2. Brock Lesnar wanted to kill former WWE head writer

During a recent episode of Coach & Bro, Vince Russo took a trip down memory lane, recalling the time he rubbed Brock Lesnar the wrong way over a phone call intended to bring in The Beast's wife, Sable, into TNA.

"I wanted to bring Sable into TNA, so when I was in TNA, I called Sable. After my conversation with Sable, my phone rings immediately. It’s Kurt Angle. 'Vince, what did you do?' I’m like, 'Kurt, seriously, I have no idea what you’re talking about,''' he recalled.

Russo revealed that Lesnar allegedly wanted to kill him because the veteran writer didn't introduce himself on the call properly.

“'Vince, I just got off the phone with Brock Lesnar, and he wants to kill you.' What happened was, I called Sable, [and] a dude answered the phone; how am I supposed to know the dude is Brock Lesnar? I’d never met Brock Lesnar; I never had a conversation… it was Brock Lesnar. 'May I please speak to Sable?' He put Sable on the phone, then he calls Kurt, 'Who is this Vince Russo? I’m gonna kill him' because I didn’t introduce myself; I didn’t know it was Brock Lesnar, for crying out loud."

The Beast Incarnate is currently off WWE TV and awaiting legal clearance in connection with the ongoing Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon and the company.

#1. Kevin Owens provides an update on his condition

Kevin Owens has been facing an extended period on the sidelines due to a neck injury. However, he has been holding off on surgery.

Speaking to le10Sport, The Prizefighter explained why he has been delaying the process.

"I still haven’t had the surgery. There’s [sic] a lot of things to consider before the surgery. We’re kind of waiting to see how things progress naturally. There’s no doubt I need surgery, but before we do the surgery, we just have to see how much it can… Not recover, because it won’t recover, but slightly improve without surgery. Afterward, we can make a plan and decide what’s the best thing to do for surgery. But it’s a very slow process. You just have to have patience. I don’t usually have a lot of patience, but this time I have no choice."

Owens also addressed his in-ring future, casting doubt over wrestling again.

"It would be, not arrogant, but false to be able to tell you right now that I will absolutely return to the ring, that I will have other fights. I don’t know if that’s true."

KO has been advertised for the June 13 edition of WWE SmackDown. Is he going to make a one-off appearance? Fans should stay tuned for more updates.
