Big Fight Discussed for Brock Lesnar Within UFC

There is a very high possibility that the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar might not re-sign with WWE after WrestleMania 31 (where he is supposed to pass the torch). With that being said, UFC is currently the place where Lesnar is the most favorite to go. Although UFC President Dana White stated in an interview that he had no conversation with Lesnar regarding a possible return to UFC, apparently there have been talks about potential fights for Lesnar if he returns.

One of those fights was discussed to be against Frank Mir. Lesnar previously lost to Mir by submission at UFC 81, which was Lesnar’s UFC debut. Lesnar then defeated Mir by TKO at UFC 100 to unify the titles. Mir’s last UFC fight came in February 2014, a loss to Alistair Overeem at UFC 169.

The UFC 100 Pay-Per-View, which was headlined by Lesnar & Mir, is the most bought UFC pay-per-view of all time with a buyrate of 1.6 million. If there ever is a Lesnar-Mir III, then it will definitely be a big money match!

The Rock Scheduled To Be In The Royal Rumble ?

WWE has confirmed that The Rock is backstage at the Royal Rumble PPV. According to MetsFan4Ever, a former WWE employee who has his sources within the WWE and has revealed many inside stories, revealed that WWE officials have had a serious discussion regarding The Rock entering the Rumble match and winning it, which will lead to Rock vs. Brock at WrestleMania, which Vince McMahon wants to see for a few years now.
He also told that if the officials do not book this, then The Rock might appear in a backstage segment to put over Roman Reigns.
He also says that WWE officials have considered having Bray Wyatt win the Royal Rumble Match. Many people in WWE have high hopes for Wyatt and “feel the sky is the limit for him.”
As of now, Sheamus is not scheduled to return tonight, but Randy Orton is backstage at the event, however it is not confirmed if WWE will be using him or not, as he was backstage at the TLC PPV as well.

Huge WrestleMania 31 Three-Way with The Underaker?, Reigns’ Title Win, More

We noted earlier that the latest issues between Triple H and Vince McMahon have to do with WrestleMania 31 plans and the creative direction of Triple H’s character when he returns to TV. It was noted that Triple H wants to face Sting at WrestleMania but Vince wants to do Sting vs. The Undertaker.

However, Vince is okay with Triple H vs. Sting if Taker doesn’t return, which is why they began the Triple H – Sting feud at Survivor Series.

With that said, Triple H wants a match at WrestleMania against Sting whether Taker returns or not.


Triple H has floated the idea of doing a three-way with Taker vs. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 31. A source noted that this might not be a bad idea after all because it would be easier to carry Taker. The outcome that was pitched would see Reigns pin Taker if Lesnar re-signs with WWE or Reigns pin Lesnar if Brock doesn’t re-sign with WWE.

Brock Lesnar Pulled from Next Week’s RAW

WWE’s website is no longer listing WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar for next week’s Slammy Awards RAW from Greenville, South Carolina. Lesnar had been advertised for a few months now.

The Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville has also pulled Lesnar from their website listing for RAW.

Backstage Update on Plans for WWE Title Match, TLC Main Event

We’ve noted how there was talk of having #1 contender John Cena get his title shot against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar at this month’s TLC pay-per-view.

Vince McMahon continues to go back and forth on the match happening at TLC. There are just two RAW episodes left until TLC and with no mention of the title or Cena being #1 contender on RAW this past week, there’s a feeling that the match won’t take place at TLC.

Original plans had Cena getting the title shot at the Royal Rumble, which could be the direction they’re going in. As noted, there has also been talk of having Cena face Seth Rollins and Randy Orton at TLC but we should have a better idea of TLC plans after this week’s RAW.

Early SummerSlam Promotion Leaks Hyping the Main Event

A short video was uploaded to Vimeo today from user “TheRussianPolice” that looks to be a promotional package for this year’s WWE SummerSlam event. In the video – featured below – it hypes 15-time World Champion John Cena facing former UFC Champion and former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, a match that has been rumored for the past month.

The final frame of the video shows that the commercial is from MTS, which is a Canadian PPV provider.

We're trying to find a way to prove this isn’t legit, but we can’t see one. It’s clearly got the guy who does all their other PPV voice-overs, looks professionally made, and has recent footage of WrestleMania and Cena winning the title for a 15th time, so it isn’t an edited version of their 2012 Extreme Rules match. By this point everyone knows this match is happening next month, it's just surprising to see that WWE doesn’t have better quality control, as they still have a PPV to promote for this Sunday.
