Brock Lesnar re-signs with WWE
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar revealed he re-signed
with WWE on ESPN’s SportsCenter during an interview with Michelle
Beadle.
“I’m officially closing the door on MMA,” Lesnar told
Beadle. “I re-signed (with WWE) last night. We came to a conclusion last
night. The offer on the table, I just could not refuse.”
During the build-up to Lesnar’s title defense against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31, Paul Heyman admitted
his client’s contract was set to expire soon after The Show of Shows.
Heyman even threatened Lesnar was willing to take the title wherever he
pleased — including various mixed martial arts promotions — leaving
Lesnar’s post-WrestleMania status up in the air.
The
Beast Incarnate returned to WWE in 2012 after an eight-year hiatus,
during which time he competed in UFC. Lesnar captured his fourth WWE
World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2014 and ended The
Undertaker’s legendary undefeated Streak at WrestleMania 30. He will
defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania against Reigns on March 29 on WWE Network.
