During a recent episode of his podcast, Lex Luger debunked a persistent rumor regarding his match against Yokozuna for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania X in 1994. The rumor suggested that Luger lost the opportunity to win the title due to leaking the planned finish to a reporter, but Luger firmly denied this claim.

Luger emphasized that there was never any concrete plan for him to defeat Yokozuna for the championship, even dating back to their initial match at SummerSlam 1993. He explained that Vince McMahon never promised him the title and the storyline leading into WrestleMania X was always intended to go in a different direction.

Luger and Bret Hart co-winning the 1994 Royal Rumble set the stage for their match at WrestleMania X, showcasing the actual creative direction that was planned all along.

As Luger addressed the rumor head-on, he highlighted the strong relationship he had with McMahon at the time and clarified the misconceptions surrounding his championship aspirations.
