5 Reasons Brock Lesnar Should Stay In WWE (And 5 Reasons Why He Will Leave)

2. His WWE Schedule Is Very Favorable

Lesnar has an amazing schedule. When WWE signed him in 2012 they were willing to treat him like a special attraction that only wrestled a couple of times per year. He had two matches in 2012, three matches in 2013, four matches in 2014 and he'll have two matches this year before his deal is up the day after WrestleMania. He made millions of dollars too. The rumored figure is around $3 million in addition to PPV style bonuses. In other words, he'll wrestle a total of 11 matches over three full years. He didn't wrestle once on Raw. If he were to stay in WWE, most likely he would work a similar schedule at around the same rate too. Lesnar can work a schedule where he's not going on the road taking bumps or going through rigorous training. He can have his matches, then he can heal up, train until the next match and prepare for it as best he can. That's a huge advantage. Wrestling a lot of matches can take its toll on the body, but wrestling three or four times per year is fairly easy for a guy like him. When he trains for a fight in MMA, he has to go through a rigorous camp where he puts his body on the line a lot more. Getting ready for WWE matches is a lot less painful on the body.
