WWE Champ Brock Lesnar quits SmackDown just 24 hours after defeating Cain Velasquez at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia
BROCK LESNAR stunned the WWE by quitting SmackDown to join rival show Monday Night RAW.
The Beast Incarnate was one of a few stars to be on the wrestling show last night along manager Paul Heyman.
A number were left stranded in Suadi Arabia after Crown Jewel, due to plane mechanical problems.
And he was first to appear on SmackDown, announcing he was "p***ed of" following the pay-per-view that saw him retain the belt against Cain Velasquez.
He destroyed old UFC rival Velasquez in less than two-minutes, but was then attacked by Rey Mysterio with a chair.
And Lesnar revealed he would be leaving SmackDown to head to RAW to pursue the diminutive Mexican.
Heyman also threatened WWE chief Vince McMahon with a legal lawsuit if he stopped the move across brands.
The switch looks to be happening after 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt won the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel.
The WWE would not want to have both their man titles on the same programme, so always split them apart.
