Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the feeling within the WWE is that Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is very interested in staying with WWE when his contract is up after WrestleMania 34 next month.

The feeling within the sports entertainment company is that this the exact same situation that happened in 2016 where Lesnar decided to re-sign with the WWE before or after his last date.

The longtime pro wrestling journalist noted that WWE officials are still moving forward with the idea that Lesnar is leaving. Part of that mentality is to downplay Lesnar on his way out so it won’t look like such a big loss if he does leave.

My Thoughts

Let’s use a bit of common sense when looking at this rumor. If you are the WWE and negotiating a major deal, having Lesnar on the roster helps. Whether you are a fan of him or not, he’s a major star in sports and entertainment. Especially if WWE goes with Fox having Rousey and Lesnar under contract are two James Fox knows being eyeballs. Lesnar is already past his MMA prime and would have to serve a lengthy suspension before being able to grab a big money fight. I believe he signs a two year deal at roughly the same price tag. He likely gets another title run at some point, but is primarily used as an attraction. With Undertaker not having much shelf life, Lesnar has even more value than ever before. Have the beast who ended the streak, pickup the torch and be the new Wrestlemania attraction.
