More Backstage Details & Speculation on Lesnar’s New Contract

There seems to be conflicting information regarding the details of Brock Lesnar’s new contract extension with WWE. It was first reported that Brock Lesnar’s new contract extension with the WWE is a short-term deal, but then an MMA reporter tweeted that it was actually a multi-year contract and that it would allow Lesnar to compete in both the WWE and the UFC.
According to Dave Meltzer on a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he indicated that while he doesn’t have a lot of information, Lesnar’s new contract extension with the WWE is a short term deal but it does give Lesnar the option of fighting once in UFC. However, it is going to be at least six months before we can see Lesnar fight in the UFC again since he still has to serve out the rest of his suspension.
Mike Johnson of PW Insider also speculated that the word going around the locker room is that Lesnar signed a short-term deal, perhaps just an extension to his old contract. Most also believe that there is a good chance that Lesnar will drop the Universal Title to Reigns later this month at the Greatest Royal Rumble Event in Saudi Arabia.
