Brock Lesnar won the Universal Title at WWE Crown Jewel but in actuality, that was initially scheduled to be his last day with WWE.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed Brock Lesnar’s current WWE contract which allows Lesnar to do whatever he actually wants to and can decide what his future in the company will be like. Lesnar finds himself in a powerful position over WWE. This is what he said:
“His contract with WWE, the new one — cause he just signed a new one in the last, I guess it would be in the last week. Because the deal was when Roman went down, Vince backed up the Brinks [money] truck and felt that they needed Brock.”
“Brock’s last date was going to be Crown Jewel. Roman Reigns was going to win that match, that was the plan. But Roman Reigns is out. As soon as Roman Reigns was out I assumed they’d go with Strowman to win — they didn’t. They went with Brock because they figured Brock would go right into [fighting] camp but Vince gave him a sweetheart deal because you always know there’s a chance — and he does not have a deal with UFC.”
“[Lesnar’s] price with UFC probably increases everytime his price with WWE increases but it’s not an exclusive deal that he signed with WWE. In this deal he can do UFC anytime he wants. So if he wants to do March 2nd, he can do March 2nd [for UFC].”
We will have to wait and see what Brock does next since it depends on him at this point.
