Brock Lesnar is no more a WWE Superstar as his contract with the company expired after WrestleMania 36. Six months forward, the company had to take his merchandise off their store as the existing imagery rights deal also ran out. This is the same reason why WWE also had to remove Sting’s merchandise from their online shopping website.
Interestingly, The Icon then ended up appearing in AEW on TNT. The question remains whether Brock Lesnar could be going in the same direction or not. While speaking to Wrestling Inc, Gerald Brisco admitted that The Beast has every right to arrive in AEW. Nothing is certain in this world as a Superstar like him has a price tag fixed for himself.

Brisco went on to mention how Brock Lesnar has always been very smart with his money. His appearances churn put money but he also has a very large payday reserved for himself. If AEW could offer that right price that is a ton of money then Vince McMahon would certainly have to come up with that much money to retain him.

“If the money is right, and I believe this with all my soul that Brock Lesnar would not do it unless he was offered one of those .. as Ted DiBiase said, ‘Everybody has their damn price.’”
“You talk about frugal. He is one of the most frugal guys there is on the face of the Earth. Did he save us money? Yes, every damn penny of it, but I think it would have to be an extreme circumstance, and I think he would pick up the phone and call Vince about the amount of money that he got offered and see if Vince is going to go to do anything. And honestly, I think Vince would do something,” Brisco said.
Brisco has the experience of closely working with Vince McMahon and his comments are a lot significant regarding the current status of Brock Lesnar. AEW has pulled in some surprising names like Sting, Mike Tyson, and Shaquille O’Neil. So they could just snatch the former WWE Champion who is often considered to be the biggest box office attraction of the professional wrestling industry.
As of now, the popular belief is that Brock Lesnar could be returning in time for WrestleMania 37 and he’d be looking forward to receiving $3 million, per annum for his return. WWE was reportedly interested to book him at SummerSlam 2020 but he didn’t show interest in working amid the coronavirus pandemic.
