– During a recent edition of his Bischoff on Wrestling podcast, Eric Bischoff addressed Brock Lesnar’s current WWE status and rumors he could make another UFC return. You can read his comments below.

Bischoff offered his thoughts on WWE already announced that Brock Lesnar will return for WWE Summerslam 2018. He addressed if this is WWE’s way of sending a signal that Lesnar won’t be going back to the UFC for another fight, and he doesn’t think that is necessarily the case. He stated the following:

“I tend to think that they probably don’t send signals. I never saw anything that suggested to me that there is any kind of subliminal means of communicating in WWE. They are pretty straight forward about just about everything that they decide to promote or be straight forward about. I don’t think it’s a signal. They’re advertising him. I don’t know, I don’t think there is any covert communication going on. They don’t make many mistakes when it comes to advertising talent. Not that they haven’t occasionally over the last few decades but it’s very rare that they do. Maybe they just know something no one else knows. I would bet on that.”

As previously reported, Brock Lesnar has been linked to UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones for a super-fight.
