Brock Lesnar isn't scheduled for Elimination Chamber or Fastlane so the next time he defends the Universal Championship with be at WrestleMania 35. As you may have heard, Chris Jericho's recent shot at The Beast has led to speculation that All Elite Wrestling could be interested in signing him but Dave Meltzer has now provided a very interesting update about what could be next for Lesnar's career.
"If he wanted to fight, he’d be fighting right now. You know he got a big offer from Vince. He's going to do WrestleMania. I fully believe he's gonna do the Saudi show in May and then you know if the contracts… a three-way dance this time. Paul E is negotiating the biggest three-way dance of his life. AEW, WWE, and UFC all for the same guy. That’s an interesting game."
It certainly is and while a UFC return at this point seems highly unlikely, the fact Lesnar can now use AEW to his advantage is going to surely see him receive yet another massive pay increase from WWE.
"I believe that Vince will pay anything not to lose Brock because we’ve seen it with UFC and I think it will be even stronger with AEW. Brock’s number is so high but who knows? Who knows, it would be a coup. Put it this way, Chris Jericho wants a match with Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho has a lot of sway. That doesn’t mean a deal is gonna be done that’s a stupid deal."
We'll have to wait and see but common sense says that we can expect to see Lesnar remain in WWE for the time being as that's somewhere he's extremely comfortable and can earn huge money.
