Brock Lesnar: WWE Return Confirmed, But UFC Rumors Claim Secret Meeting
Brock Lesnar’s WWE return has been confirmed, but his UFC career is still in doubt.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Vince McMahon met with US military personnel for WWE’s Tribute To The Troops. Interestingly enough, the recently disgraced Justine Sacco used to work at the WWE.
Lesnar won the WWE SummerSlam event this year and is actually planning on moving to Canada because he grew up on a farm and believes the wild north represents his childhood:
“I eventually want to become a Saskatchewan resident and… I just want to learn a little more about the province.”
But Brock Lesnar’s WWE career won’t be put on hold for some romps on the pasture. People within WWE are expecting Brock Lesnar to return to TV shortly after the Royal Rumble, which takes place on January 26, 2014. This hasn’t been confirmed but there’s hopes we’ll also get to see The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar for WrestleMania XXX on April 6, 2014 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Unfortunately, Brock Lesnar’s UFC career is another matter entirely. Two years ago he was TKO’d in under three minutes, and he hasn’t been back in the MMA ring since.
During the UFC 168 discussion, president Dana White was asked about Lesnar returning. Supposedly there were rumors White was meeting with Lesnar in Las Vegas, but this revelation seemed to surprise the UFC head:
“Really? I don’??t know. I honestly don’??t know. Honestly.”
But Fox News claims “when he was an active fighter, Lesnar’s camp was notorious for its level of secrecy. It is quite possible he demanded a confidential meeting.” Nowadays, any major announcement tends to get noticed on Twitter first. But in this case, Brock Lesnar’s Twitter account has been inactive for months. His representative, Paul Heyman, has been very active but still hasn’t leaked out a peep about Brock other than hype a match against CM Punk:

Do you think Brock Lesnar should return to the UFC or just stick with the WWE?
