The latest edition of the The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via Wrestling Inc) reports that Brock Lesnar’s return for WWE Crown Jewel was not a last minute arrangement and Lesnar’s team expected the deal to be signed during Summerslam week in August. Lesnar’s team expected Vince McMahon to make an offer for the event and Wrestlemania 35 during that time.

Lesnar hadn’t signed a UFC contract at the time, which would have allowed them to block any future WWE appearances. UFC and WWE, however, are on good working terms and it’s likely that UFC wouldn’t stop Lesnar from appearing. While it’s unknown when the WWE offer was made and signed, it was weeks ago. The details of the deal have not been revealed.

According to the report, Lesnar is looking at short-term contracts and thinks that the more he’s free, the more money he can make by playing UFC and WWE against each other to get the best deal. It’s believed he’s making seven figures for the match with Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 2. There’s no word on if he’ll appear on RAW before the show to promote it.
