10 Reasons WWE’s WrestleMania 31 Is Already Doomed
5. Brock Lesnar's Limited Contract
Brock Lesnars part-time contract has always been an obstacle for WWE. For the first few years of his return, it felt like they never fully commited with anything for him outside of spectacle matches because they knew he wouldnt be around for many of the shows around those events. Now, the pendulum has swung in the other direction and theyve not only had Brock Lesnar break The Undertakers undefeated streak at WrestleMania, but he defeated John Cena in the most physically dominant WWE World Heavyweight Championship match in history. This seemed like an exciting new era at the time, but Brock Lesnar hasnt been seen since Night of Champions, he wasnt at Hell in a Cell and he wont be at Survivor Series either. The WWE seems like a strange place without their champion, and Lesnar obviously has no intention of working more dates than he currently does. Lesnars matches at WrestleMania dont often require him to be there all the time to promote, but now hes the champion things are different. Also, UFC president Dana White has recently expressed interest in having Brock Lesnar back in his promotion.
Its pretty amazing what he did and accomplished here while having diverticulitis ... It would be interesting to see a 100 percent-healthy Brock Lesnar compete.
That, coupled with Jim Ross comments that Lesnars contract expires soon and multiple high-profile UFC fighters like Shane Carwin, Frank Mir and Alistair Overeem recently calling the former UFC Champion out, the fiercely competitive Lesnar might not be able to resist stepping back into the Octagon. That will potentially undermine the worth of Mania 31 where fans will all know he's losing.
