With Brock Lesnar seemingly gone from WWE for the foreseeable future, there's a great deal of speculation he might be either interested in a return to UFC or playing UFC against the WWE as a leverage tactic. Apparently neither of those things are true.
In an interview with TMZSports.com, UFC's Dana White commented on his relationship with the former UFC Champion and if he's heard anything from Lesnar since his contract expired in WWE.
Putting to bed any idea that Lesnar and UFC are working on something, White responded, “Not a word." He did say that he'd like to talk to him, he just hasn't. "I’d love to hear how he’s doing and how his family is, things like that."
On whether or not he plans to talk to Lesnar about a possible return, he noted that talking about family and catching up will likely be the extent of any conversation. He explained:
The guy has had a long killer career. He actually came in and became a UFC heavyweight champ and the guy’s made a lot of money. I just don’t see him coming back over here again at his age.”
What Does That Mean For Lesnar's Eventual Return?
Perhaps Lesnar won't come back to WWE. But, if the Beast Incarnate was planning to use the threat of going to UFC against WWE, he won't have much luck after White basically said he's got no real interest in having the former fighter return.
But, there's always AEW. That's not to say the likelihood he shows up there is strong, only that he might try to leverage the threat of going there. If AEW is wise, they'll have a conversation with him, even if it's just to get WWE to overpay for his services.
