It appears Brock Lesnar's time with the WWE is cut for now. The many time WWE champion is no longer under contract and is believed to be looking for a new home. Supporting word that the "Beast Incarnate" is no longer with the wrestling promotion is that all WWE merchandise has been pulled from the promotion's online store.
It remains unclear why Lesnar severed his ties with the WWE. He remains one of the promotion's top draws despite appearing only on select occasions, ESPN reported. The WWE may have opted to cut down on expenses, including lavishly played stars due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lesnar was able to work appearing on the WWE and the UFC on occasions. In 2016, he made a return to the UFC scene to face Mark Hunt. Lesnar won over Hunt but the results were later overturned to a no-contest with the 43-year-old Lesnar testing positive for a drug test.
Lesnar may have suitors, a reason why he could be worth more. The AEW has been mentioned as a possible stop although a return to the UFC has also been suggested. Jon Jones had been drawn time and again to the UFC. Unfortunately, nothing prospered with financial terms unsettled. Aside from Jones, there were teasers of the "Beast Incarnate" possibly picking a fight with Daniel Cormier.
The last time Lesnar took the WWE ring was in April at Wrestlemania. He went up against Drew McIntyre and lost the WWE title.
Also worth noting is that Lesnar's manager has now been linked to a possible partnership with Roman Reigns. The uncanny alliance was seen as a way to help the WWE improve from its dipping ratings although it somehow affirms the exit of Lesnar as well, Forbes reported.
Reigns announced his return to the WWE at SummerSlam recently. He got involved in the match involving Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt in an unexpected return. But with the new alliance with Heyman, it is pretty clear that Reigns is set to become a heel in the coming shows.
For Heyman, the only difference is that he may have to appear more often with Reigns. He made occasional appearances with Lesnar. Considering WWE ratings have been going down, Heyman will have to do his part in hopefully jacking up the numbers. Some see his alliance with Reigns as uncanny but something that makes a lot of sense.
