To the surprise of many, there wasn’t one mention of Brock Lesnar on RAW this past Monday night despite the Universal champion being a hot topic after his appearance at UFC 226.
Dave Meltzer has reported that Vince McMahon made the decision to not mention him in order to focus building towards Sunday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view. McMahon told everyone at the production meeting before RAW that Lesnar's name wasn't to be mentioned and they can start talking him again "when he's being offered to our audience and we can capitalize on it."
McMahon is reportedly still going with the storyline that Lesnar doesn’t care about the WWE, according to sources; however, it is a bit puzzling that the chairman didn’t capitalize on Lesnar’s name by mentioning him at least once during the RAW broadcast.
