As the world waits to hear UFC president Dana White clear up the Brock Lesnar UFC 200 rumors, here are the details of the WWE contract Lesnar signed with the WWE last spring.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lesnar announced he had re-signed with the WWE in an interview on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”
Moments after his announcement, Lesnar told The Associated Press he was in training for a UFC return as recently as last week, even though he had developed conflicted feelings about it over the previous month.
He finally decided to stick with professional wrestling only in the past two days, signing his new three-year deal with the WWE on Monday night when the promotion increased its financial offer.
According to this report Lesnar would only be in the 2nd year of his 3-year contract with the WWE and any negotiations with the UFC would be approved by Vince McMahon.
It’s still unknown whether the WWE has given their blessings. Lesnar is a part-time talent with the company and him competing at UFC 200 wouldn’t interfere with their next major PPV, SummerSlam.
We will continue to update the story as more details become available.
