Brock Lesnar re-signs with WWE, will face Roman Reigns at 'Greatest Royal Rumble'

Lensar, WWE's universal champion, looks to have spurned UFC after another flirtation

Under 24 hours in the wake of shielding the all inclusive title against Roman Reigns in an unexpected complete to the headliner of WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans, title holder Brock Lesnar has formally re-marked with WWE. The length and specifics of Lesnar's new arrangement were not discharged by WWE as a component of its declaration.

Lesnar, who has held the title for an entire year subsequent to beating Goldberg for it at WrestleMania 33, will safeguard the title against Reigns by and by - this time inside a steel confine in the headliner of the Greatest Royal Rumble, an uncommon occasion set to be held at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Friday, April 27 at twelve ET.

WWE claims this will be Lesnar's next appearance, which means he isn't required to show up this Monday night on Raw or at any shows previously the huge occasion. The Greatest Royal Rumble is set to stream live on WWE Network.

Lesnar marking another arrangement with WWE influences it to look as though he has spurned enthusiasm from UFC that would have seen him come back to the Octagon. In principle, Lesnar could in any case have provisions that enable him to battle in UFC either as a major aspect of his WWE contract or by means of extraordinary stipend by director Vince McMahon. Lesnar contended in the headliner of UFC 200 in the wake of asking for as much from McMahon, who conceded him the irregular opportunity and payday.

UFC president Dana White said in October 2017 that he didn't anticipate that WWE will permit such hybrid battles later on. In any case, White said simply a week ago amid an appearance on "UFC Tonight" that Lesnar is "certainly" coming back to the Octagon. "Better believe it, Brock Lesnar's returning," he said. "I don't know when, yet yes, he is."

WWE has spent the better piece of a month playing up the possibility of Lesnar part from the organization for UFC. That joined with White's appearing certainty that Lesnar would rejoin the organization influences one to trust that both McMahon and White may have been turning a long haul storyline with expectations of swerving WWE fans.

Where Lesnar really remains with UFC - and both the U.S. Hostile to Doping Association and Nevada State Athletic Commission - stays to be seen. For the time being, all we know is that he intends to proceed with his vocation in WWE. To what extent he will be there - or in what way that profession will unfurl - is impossible to say.
