Brock Lesnar Still Expected to Re-Sign With WWE?

– The Wrestling Observer has a new update on the latest chapter of the still unresolved drama between WWE world champion Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon. As of now Lesnar is still advertised to appear at next week’s Raw in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

According to the report, Lesnar is expected by the WWE to appear. WWE officials are planning around the idea he will appear and be used for the show. Despite the recent issues, backstage officials still expect Lesnar to sign a new contract with the WWE after it is set to expire after WrestleMania 31. What UFC is willing to offer Lesnar and what WWE offers him in response could depend on how that will play out.

Lesnar’s recent appearance at UFC 184 was seen as a power play and a message to WWE and Vince McMahon by Lesnar. Per the report, Lesnar was WWE to take his name, value and worth seriously, since UFC and Bellator MMA are both interested in signing him. Of course, if Lesnar misses any further appearances ahead of WrestleMania, it could hurt his leverage at the negotiating table for a new deal and cause him some potential legal issues.
