RUMOR: Brock Lesnar Returns To WWE On One Year Contract, Dana White Fine With It

Quote :

BE's Josh Nason (via Dave Meltzer) reported this morning that former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was close to returning to his former home, World Wrestling Entertainment, at WrestleMania 28 tomorrow night. Now it appears that it will be on a much larger scale that a one-off appearance, and UFC president Dana White is fine with it. Dave Meltzer has the news (as usual):

Brock Lesnar has arrived in Miami and arrived with security and a large group of people shielding him from everyone. This is the going story, but not confirmed, that Lesnar has signed a one year deal and will work a more than Undertaker and less than Goldberg type of schedule.

MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani asked Dana White about Lesnar reportedly going back to wrestling, and he seems fine with it:

Not sure if the rumors of Brock signing with WWE are true right now, but if you're wondering whether @danawhite/UFC would be ok with it ...

... He just told me, "yes." So that's that.

Ariel did make it clear that it was still a rumor and Dana wasn't confirming the rumor, he was simply commenting on how he'd feel if it was the truth. Either way though, it certainly seems like Lesnar will be stepping back into a WWE ring tomorrow night

Meh ... wish him well ... he had his ufc run and did as good as he was gonna do. Props for giving it an honest go and I hope he makes millions in fake fighting.

Yep....agree with Krieger

Yea, he had a better run in the UFC than most would have thought but he got into it too late. Makes sense that he would go back to his roots and avoid getting punched in the face for real now.

Wrestling is dying. That is why they are trying to bring in the "Old Blood" because these new guys can't cut it.

It's true man. I used to follow the WWF/E big time back in the day. None of the new main eventers have the charisma and talent of the Rock, Steve Austin, etc. I just can't take seeing Christian or Mark Henrey with the World Title seriously...

Straying a bit but IMO that's more about you moving on than it is about wrestling turning to the suck. I remember thinking that all the new kids toys were so fucking lame when I was about 13 lol. There are plenty of precocious little turds growing up who have Batista posters on their walls.

Edit: So yeah about Lesnar, I say good luck to him. He must be getting bored.

He might as well go back, i really dont think he hang with the UFC HW divison any more. cain took him out in time ,just to have overeem do the same. and to be honest i think JDS would have ko'ed him if they were to fight as oringally planned.

I don't see how Dana really has a say in this in the first place. Brock retired from MMA, so why does Dana have to be OK with this? That would be like me quitting my job and then having to get their permission to go and work somewhere else.
