Brock Lesnar may hold the WWE
Championship belt, but apparently Vince McMahon and Triple H are fine
with the wrestler violating the 30-day title rule. But is the reason
they are letting a part-timer disregard the the WWE rules due to the the
costs associated with the WWE Network?
In a related report by The Inquisitr, originally the Big Show was scheduled to take on Brock Lesnar at Hell In A Cell 2014, but since Lesnar already trounced him at Royal Rumble, previously the match was expected to end like the John Cena rematch. Now reports are claiming this plan was axed and Lesnar may not return until Royal Rumble 2015. This would mean the Beast would only work four WWE PPV events this year, and a handful of non-PPV events, even though rumors claimed Lesnar’s WWE contract would have him working Monday Night RAW on a more routine basis.
As everyone in the WWE Universe knows by now, Vince McMahon has been working hard to cut as many corners as possible in order to ensure the success of the WWE Network streaming service. Providing the WWE Network incurs a hefty cost, and it’s been said they need at least one million subscribers just to break even. Since the company is now losing money every quarter, McMahon has responded by laying off wrestlers, reducing the amount of fireworks, and even cutting the props used by certain wrestlers if they were deemed too costly.
