At the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, Brock Lesnar dethroned Bobby Lashley to win the WWE Championship. The same match also involved Austin Theory, Seth Rollins, Riddle, and AJ Styles as challengers.
During episode 419 of the Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette gave his take on Lesnar using Theory as a hat rack on RAW and eventually hit him with the F5. Cornette said:
Cornette suggested that Theory should’ve benefited most from the segment. The ex-WWE veteran claimed that the RAW star is the project WWE should be working on, much like they did with The Rock back in 1996 and turned him into a mega superstar.
Check out Jim Cornette’s comments on Austin Theory below:
The Rock’s WrestleMania 39 status could be in doubt
At WrestleMania 38, Roman Reigns will face Brock Lesnar in a Champion vs. Champion match. However, The Tribal Chief is touted to face his cousin The Rock at next year’s Show of Shows. But, as things stand, the Reigns vs. Rock match might be in doubt.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio, The Great One might be too busy with his schedule to make a potential return to WWE.
A report from WrestleTalk has suggested the following:
The Rock’s last proper WrestleMania match was back at WrestleMania 29 against John Cena. It remains to be seen if he returns to face Reigns down the road.
