10 Hottest Free Agents LEFT In Wrestling Today

3. Brock Lesnar

Being perfectly honest, Brock Lesnar so nearly slipped through the net here.

It's hard to remember that the Beast Incarnate is actually a free agent right now, with his most recent WWE deal believed to have expired in August 2020.

From a WWE perspective, clearly they would love to have Brock signed up to a deal and for him to be available for their biggest shows of the year. In reality, the ongoing global pandemic means that opting against renewing Lesnar's deal last year was a smart move.

Based on previous deals, one would have to imagine that any contract renewal would've seen WWE paying the eight-time World Champion somewhere in the region of $3 million per year. With the pandemic causing all kinds of travel uncertainty for the Canada-based Lesnar, WWE could've ended up giving Brock a huge new deal without being able to actually use him.

So, as it stands, Brock Lesnar is free and open to offers from any would-be suitors.

Some may roll their eyes at Lesnar's extremely part-time schedule of recent years. Some may roll their eyes at Lesnar's oft-formulaic matches based around dominant German Suplexes, a fired-up babyface comeback, before the inevitable Brock win. The truth is, Brock Lesnar is a generational talent and a genetic freak who brings eyes to anything he does.
