Brock Lesnar won the vacant WWE Universal Championship at the recent Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman after hitting him with several F5’s.
We have the latest to pass your way on Brock’s new contract with WWE. One that he only signed recently.
According to Dave Meltzer in an article for MMA Fighting, Brock’s previous contract was set to expire this past Friday. With the news of Roman Reigns’ leukemia returning, Vince McMahon offered Brock a new deal to replace Reigns as the top singles Champion.
Brock’s new deal is for multiple dates, including Wrestlemania 35. The length of Brock’s deal past Wrestlemania 35 is currently being kept close to the vest.
Brock’s new WWE contract also allows him to fight in the UFC. The current rumor is for Brock to face Daniel Cormier for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Lesnar vs Jon Jones is another fight that is rumored if the one with Cormier doesn’t come together.
The most interesting part here for WWE fans is that Brock is scheduled for Wrestlemania 35. There were some rumors that he could be finished at the Royal Rumble, but that doesn’t look to be the case.
