Speculation On Lesnar’s Future After WWE WrestleMania 34

The most successful crossover MMA/Wrestling name may leave WWE after Wrestlemania. According to a report by Dave Meltzer, because he won’t be under contract with WWE by then and there’s no guarantee he’ll have re-signed. The tickets for this year’s SummerSlam have already been released and they feature the following superstars:

Ronda Rousey, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, Sasha Banks, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Seth Rollins, Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, Charlotte and Naomi.

Brock Lesnar is not featured on a ticket.

That’s not all, Paul Heyman spoke on a possible return for Lesnar to the octagon, here is what he had to say:

“I think Brock Lesnar does whatever Brock Lesnar wants to do,” said Heyman. “If Brock Lesnar wants to fight in UFC, Brock Lesnar will fight in UFC. If Brock Lesnar wants to fight in WWE, he will fight in WWE. Ask Braun Strowman, ask Randy Orton, ask ‘The Undertaker,’ Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to do.”

Lesnar, who would still have to honor a suspension from USADA, following a drug test turning up positive for clomiphene prior to his last fight. He was suspended by USADA but may be ready for a return according to his friend and advocate in the WWE, Paul Heyman.

My Thoughts:

Before you go celebrating if you are not a Lesnar fan or weeping if you are, take a breath. This isn’t like negotiating a Ziggler contract this is high stakes negotiation with a major name. While Lesnar isn’t exactly seen as a lovable wrestling name, he does lots for the business. With a new TV deal in sight WWE will likely have more money than ever before. Lesnar knows this, so as he does he uses his leverage. Everything above to me smells of high stakes poker and this will all come down to if WWE values Lesnar as the same draw as before. It’s possible with HHH doing the negotiation this time around he may ask Lesnar to take a pay cut. So at this time I wouldn’t put to much stock into anything I hear, this is all leverage for a new deal.
