A scene at the end of last night's WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Brock Lesnar arrived to enter himself in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match towards the end of the bout and ended up capturing the Money in the Bank briefcase.

WWE went to extreme measures to hide Lesnar's involvement in the match. We are told that none of the competitors in the match were aware that Brock was there and would be involved. We are told that competitors were told there would be a spot at the end where Ali would be standing on the top of the ladder and be tipped over but was not told who would be coming out to do the spot.

We have also heard from some in the company who were told yesterday over the course of the day that Ali would be winning the match, so the company was doing everything that they could to obscure the fact that Lesnar was going to arrive.

Lesnar was never seen yesterday until he entered the gorilla position. There were some in the company who suspected he might have been there but were unable to confirm it.

Wow. I joked to myself that this sounded like a WWE thing to do, but I didn’t realize that they actually did it. I know that’s par for the course in wrestling but that’s kind of a dick move.

I couldn't get over how nobody noticed Brock freaking Lesnar all night. I rewatched the show, and it's plain as day. He was hidden in plain sight all night...
