Indie wrestler confirms role in Brock Lesnar WWE Raw angle
Independent wrestler Vin Parker played a role in the opening segment of WWE Raw last night.
The March 16 edition of Raw kicked off with a chaotic angle where Seth Rollins had a confrontation with Paul Heyman. Brock Lesnar then made his presence felt. The masked men who have been accompanying Rollins surrounded Lesnar as he tried to invade the ring — and one of the masked men ended up being taken out with a slam onto the steel steps.
Responding to a clip of the incident on social media, Parker shared that he was the man under that mask.
“Not my wisest decision,” Parker tweeted.
Parker is an independent wrestler who has trained at the Rhodes Wrestling Academy, owned by Dustin Rhodes. He has made some appearances for Ring of Honor and is based out of California for his independent work.
The Raw segment led to the announcement that Oba Femi will be Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania 42 opponent. Femi stood toe-to-toe with Lesnar, overpowered him with a Fall from Grace, and put his foot on top of Lesnar as the audience cheered. WWE’s clip of the moment currently has nearly 1.5 million views on YouTube.
