Lesnar punches WWE wrestler backstage

According to pro-wrestling blog The Wrestling Observer, former UFC champion Lesnar got into fisticuffs at a backstage rehearsal for a WWE ‘SummerSlam’ event. He and another pro-wrestler were working through a routine when things went awry.

“Lesnar left the building after getting into a physical altercation with fellow WWE superstar, Ryan Reeves, known in ring as Ryback.

Not much information is being let out, but the source says Lesnar was in the arena early to rehearse a major angle with SummerSlam opponent Triple H. Before things even began, Reeves, who was also in the building, got into a heated argument with Lesnar. It is uncertain what the argument was about.

Reeves put his hands on Lesnar, though the source tells us that people who witnessed it said Reeves was going to apologize. Lesnar shoved Reeves back and a shoving match ensued. Lesnar threw Reeves to the floor and hit him in the face three times before being pulled off.

Reeves suffered a laceration above his left eyebrow which is required stitches. "Ryback" will not be competing tonight as he was originally planned. Lesnar left the building immediately, and all efforts to reach him have failed.”

There has been no comment from the WWE or Lesnar on the alleged incident. If it did happen as reported it could be enough to end Lesnar’s contract with the company but he is a valuable asset and thus it is more likely to be swept under the carpet.

Is this legit? Or some weird angle? Can't imagine them pairing Ryback up with him

Nah, it sounds like a pretty big shoot.

Ryback's left eye is somewhat swollen and Lesnar has said to be "prickly at best" since returning.

PS, if what I said sounded weird, a "shoot" means that it would be a real, legitimate occurrence.

Why would you get in to an arguement with Brock Lesnar? Unless you throw hands like a top 5 professional fighter, you're just asking to be put in a grave somewhere.

Lordsofpain.net (A wrestling dirtsheet) hasn't even picked up on this yet.

I just spoke to a buddy of mine about this and he says that while the rumor cites Meltzer and the Wrestling Observer as the source of this information, which is why it gained such steam, the Observer itself has claimed that they never posted such an article and that this may have very well just been a bit of gossip that gained legs of its own.

So for now, I'd hazard that it is just a fun bit of gossip until more info comes down the pipe, but if Meltzer and company are backing off(and they aren't above printing gossip), I'm thinking this is a broken-telephone situation. Not gonna lie, when I saw Ryback on RAW tonight, I was surprised that they didn't bury him or keep him off TV as a punishment.
