10 Reasons WrestleMania 33 Will Be Better Than 32

8. Lesnar Has Been Suspended By The UFC

Steve Austin's podcast with Dean Ambrose gave us marks that juicy behind-the-scenes insight we all crave and this time it was about his match at WrestleMania 32 with Brock Lesnar. They were putting together a street fight which Ambrose wanted to make memorable by going all out with the barbarism and violence, but as Dean put it, Brock didn't want to do anything.

Part of this was clearly down to the fact that he was strongly considering a return to legitimate fighting in the UFC and couldn't risk injury simply to make a WrestleMania moment or two. After winning in his UFC comeback, most people would have expected Brock to move in and out of wrestling and MMA whenever he pleased, but he has since picked up a one-year suspension from the UFC.

This takes away Brock's leverage with the WWE as he now will now likely have to take on whatever role is asked of him at WM 33. This role will almost certainly involve Bill Goldberg and while it probably won't be as dangerous as Ambrose wanted their street fight to be, Lesnar has more reason than ever to go all-out at next year's 'Mania.
