– It was previously reported that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar may return for a quick feud with Big Show but apparently that’s not happening.

“This is why I do not sign autographs. So they can fake it & sell it online & make a profit it off of my labor.NO!I only sign @WWE meet&greet”
