The best segment of the evening on this past Monday night’s episode of Raw saw Heath Slater attempt to earn a spot on the roster by going up against Brock Lesnar. His motivation for such was that he has children to provide for. In response, Lesnar got in his face and told him “I don’t give a shit about your kids.”

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required but recommended), that line was not in the script.

That in itself is interesting enough — even with a slight tape delay to account for situations like this, Raw is a live show and the powers that be were surely unhappy with Brock for cursing on television like that. Despite this, and what’s even more interesting, is the Observer noting that Lesnar “appeared to be in no trouble nor has anything been said about it.”

The timing is worth noting, considering the Observer is also reporting in the same Newsletter that Joey Styles was fired by WWE over comments made during a Facebook Live Q&A session, none of which were all that controversial and certainly nothing near the level of going off script to swear on live television.

Remember, Brad Maddox was fired for using “cocky pricks” during a promo in a dark segment at a SmackDown taping.

The perks of being a big star, right?
