With Brock Lesnar retaining his Universal Championship at Royal Rumble PPV, it was evident he would be going into the biggest event of the year with this prime title around his waist.
He will defend it at the 34th edition of Wrestlemania which will be a one-year run with the championship.
It is being speculated that his WWE contract will also run out on that night. After this, the multi-time champion might decide to return to the MMA industry. It was speculated that this super athlete is willing to compete in some more mainstream MMA matches which is why he will not renew his contract with the WWE, anymore.
But, the recent reports suggesting the complete otherwise. If these are believed, then a former MMA superstar will return to the WWE after a long time to confront the behemoth present in the WWE. It is set to happen following Wrestlemania 34 owing to which Lesnar might intend to sign a new contract in the WWE.
According to the reports of Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Roman Reigns is still the favourite to defeat Brock Lesnar for his title at Wrestlemania. On that night, the beast incarnate will finally get dethroned from his title reign. But, just after that, WWE will bring up a former employee as his next challenge.
It will be Bobby Lashley who is said to be negotiating a deal with the WWE, in recent times. If this gets finalized, then we will be able to see dream match between these two giants from the MMA industry. At this time, Lashley has cut all the ties with Impact Wrestling promotion declaring him as a free agent. Check out more updates regarding this issue from SportsKeeda.com,
“Lashley may soon make a return to WWE. He was negotiating with NJPW as well as WWE, but with his negotiations with NJPW apparently coming to a halt, Bobby Lashley’s return to a WWE ring seems imminent.
It is believed that WWE wants to have a feud between Brock and Bobby Lashley post-Wrestlemania, but this means that Lesnar will have to agree to a contract extension.”
Both Lashley and Lesnar have been reputed athletes in the MMA industry but never faced each other. But, they surely wanted to feature in a match against each other. With this report coming up from Meltzer, these two are likely to lock horns inside the squared circle under the biggest pro-wrestling banner.
