According to a recent edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Brock Lesnar’s next Universal Title defense is currently scheduled for the August 19th SummerSlam PPV Event, where he is expected to tentatively headline the show. There is currently no word yet on who his opponent will be at SummerSlam. However, this is not yet locked in stone but could depend on whether Lesnar declares himself eligible to return to the UFC by being put back in the USADA drug testing pool by June 30th. If he does by that date, it would enable him to work the UFC show on New Year’s weekend, but if he doesn’t go back into the pool, it is very likely that he will be staying with the WWE.
Either way, with both UFC and WWE ready to sign very lucrative deals, the timing of Lesnar once again being a free agent later this year is impeccable as he is not only still the WWE’s Universal Champion, but he has a great ability to successfully play one side against the other. Bottom line, Lesnar is likely in for a massive pay day on his next contract with whichever company he goes with.
