Brock Lesnar, in his autobiography, Death Clutch, has talked about leaving WWE. The former UFC fighter claims that Kurt Angle was the reason Vince McMahon made him lose the WWE Title against Eddie Guerrero.

Lesnar says, “Believing I could trust Kurt, I told him I was thinking of getting out of the business. I didn’t tell anyone else, and he said he wouldn’t either. But soon after I confided in him, I became convinced that Vince knew I was planning to leave.”

The Beast thinks he and Angle had a different bond backstage. They both rose to the top in amateur wrestling and were real athletes, true competitors. That is why Lesnar shared most of his thoughts with Angle the most. However, the longest reigned Universal Champion thought The Olympic Hero wanted his position in WWE.
