It had previously been reported by Dave Meltzer that there was talk backstage of Bobby Lashley facing Brock Lesnar following WrestleMania 34. However, that match is conditional on the fact that Brock Lesnar stays with WWE and doesn’t leave for the UFC.
Meltzer was asked again today on his Twitter account about the rumored plans for a Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania, to which Meltzer responded by indicating that Lesnar may not even be with the company still at that point.

It has been previously reported that Lesnar’s contract expires around the time of this year’s WrestleMania. However, there is a clause in place as part of his existing contract that would see him stay with WWE until August if he does decide to leave.
It should be noted that Lesnar has used the UFC as a leveraging tool in the past when negotiating with WWE in order to get more out of his deal. This could always be what is happening again, we will keep you updated as more information regarding Lesnar’s contract and WWE status becomes known.
