At what point does rank indignation turn into perverse comedy?

Brock retaining the title and disappearing from view until WrestleMania seems utterly self-destructive, but there's a very good reason why it may just happen: UFC. Lesnar's return to the Octagon is clearly being sanctioned by the company - after all, he turned up to get in Daniel Cormier's face, an event reported by his bosses like major news - and the chance to cross-promote a champion vs. champion contest might seem too good to pass up (even if it buries the rest of their product in the process).

Brock vs. Roman for the UFC Heavyweight and Universal championships in a Lion's Den match at WrestleMania. Heck, why not.
