Despite many believing that Brock Lesnar is done in the WWE, it appears he is set to make at least one appearance after his Wrestlemania 31 bout: according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Lesnar will appear after the biggest show of the year on the following night's episode of RAW. Now, given Lesnar is widely expected to drop his belt at Mania, and given it was believed that the current WWE champ's contract was up as of the event, does this mean the contract has been extended? A one-off appearance would appear to do little for either the WWE or Lesnar, so perhaps there's a little more to this, such as setting up a new program for the star. As controversial as Lesnar's part-time status in the WWE has been, take the belt off him, and fans will likely be far more accepting of the beast. It would, however, rule out a potential return to the UFC (other competing MMA promotions). Reports also have brought into question the plan to have Lesnar drop his belt to Roman Reigns. Reigns hasn't been the hit with fans the promotion had hoped of late; former Shield stablemates Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are far more over. There's a chance the entire main event picture could change by the time March rolls around. There's likely to be more news about the situation in the coming days.
