The road to WrestleMania 31 may have gotten a little bumpier as WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar reportedly stormed out of Monday Night RAW this week after getting angry about something.

The details are sketchy, but after previously being advertised to appear alongside his manager Paul Heyman on the WWE's flagship show to address Roman Reigns defeating Daniel Bryan at Fastlane, "The Beast" was noticeably absent.
Heyman instead came out by himself to talk to Reigns and hype the match while there was no mention of Lesnar's whereabouts during the segment.

Reigns, the 2015 Royal Rumble Match winner, defeated Daniel Bryan at Fastlane Sunday in Memphis to remain the No. 1 contender for Lesnar's title on March 29 at WrestleMania 31 at Levi's Stadium in California.
According to PWInsider, backstage sources claim that Lesnar flew his private jet to RAW in Nashville, but abruptly left in a huff. Lesnar was said to be visibly angry before storming off, though it's unknown what his problem was. According to the report, he left before RAW even ended.
It is said that Lesnar's problem wasn't related to creative, but was instead on the business side of things. Lesnar's deal is reportedly up soon and he is said to be negotiating a new deal, so it could have something to do with that.
Lesnar also had some interest in UFC, but many people feel he'll stay with the WWE if they can strike a deal.
Per the report, Vince McMahon acknowledged the problems between the WWE and Lesnar at a production meeting prior to the SmackDown tapings on Tuesday, but didn't elaborate on the issue.
This should have no impact on the main event of the "Show of Shows" as Lesnar is scheduled to be a part of the biggest match in 2015 when he defends against Reigns at WrestleMania 31.
It is expected that Lesnar will lose to Reigns to usher in a new era with the leader of the "Roman Empire" as the top babyface in the company.
