5 things Brock Lesnar could do in WWE after retiring from UFC

UFC President Dana White dropped a bombshell recently when he said that Brock Lesnar had told him that he has retired from UFC. White, in an interview with ESPN, said, “He told me he’s done, he’s retired. We’re going to move in another direction with Cormier.”

Lesnar was to face Daniel Cormier for the UFC Heavyweight title, a match that could have been the farewell match for Cormier. Lesnar entered the USADA testing pool sometime last year to be eligible to face Cormier.

But, it now appears that the dream match will not happen in the UFC.

So, what does that mean for Lesnar and the WWE going forward? Let's take a look at 5 things Brock Lesnar could do in WWE after retiring from UFC:

#5 Rematch for Universal title against Seth Rollins

One of the most likely scenarios that could happen when Brock Lesnar returns to WWE is a rematch against Seth Rollins, to whom he lost the Universal title at WrestleMania 35.

Rollins has spoken about how he will be a fighting champion, and has time and again spoken about his passion for wrestling, which, he says, Brock Lesnar does not have.

In a recent interview, Rollins said that he would be willing to have a rematch with Lesnar in the future.

"I’d be up to the task… I would definitely be open to giving him a rematch even though I do know what’s at stake if he were to beat me," said the current Universal champion in an interview with Express Sport.

We could perhaps see the two face off once again at a big PPV like SummerSlam later this year, which takes place in August.

#4 Feud with Lars Sullivan or Drew McIntyre

Lars Sullivan has been on a tear since making his long-awaited debut on WWE television after WrestleMania 35. WWE clearly think highly of him as he has brutalised a couple of WWE legends, with the likes of Kurt Angle, the Hardy Boyz, and Rey Mysterio all incurring the wrath of Sullivan.

While he has not been in a feud on the main roster, WWE are slowly building up his reputation before he's unleashed completely.

He's perhaps one Superstar who could stand toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar without fear. Sullivan has the look and the physique to be a monstrous Superstar on the main roster.

Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre is another Superstar who could benefit hugely from a program with Lesnar. McIntyre had a great 2018 and a feud with a top Superstar like The Beast will only help him further in his quest to become WWE Champion.

#3 Switch to SmackDown Live

Brock Lesnar briefly featured on SmackDown in 2016

Brock Lesnar, in his first run with WWE back in the early 2000s, made a huge mark on the blue brand, becoming one of the most important Superstars on SmackDown Live.

But since his return in 2012, Lesnar has not featured on SmackDown Live. It's been 15 years since The Beast has appeared on Tuesday nights.

But that could change in the near future. With the Fox deal coming into effect later this year, WWE could perhaps use a big name like Lesnar to promote the product. WWE already have Roman Reigns on the blue brand, and another top name like Lesnar, who is widely known among casual viewers, could perhaps tempt WWE to move him to SmackDown Live.

And maybe we could see a rematch between Lesnar and Reigns, too.

#2 Return at Saudi Arabia show

Brock Lesnar is still a big draw, contrary to what passionate WWE fans have said over the last few years. Sure, he is not the "ideal" champion considering his few appearances. But, we can't dismiss him as being someone who is no longer loved by the WWE Universe.

Vince McMahon knows better than most, and he himself believes that Lesnar still brings viewers to his product, which is why he has still kept The Beast around.

And at shows in countries like Saudi Arabia, where interest for the brand is slowly growing, a top name like him will generate a lot of interest.

Lesnar could maybe face off Rollins at the Saudi Arabia show, which could happen later this month. Or we could maybe get a match between Lesnar and another WWE legend, or even a Lesnar-Reigns face off, as I had mentioned in the previous slide.

#1 Retire

Could Brock Lesnar say goodbye to the WWE for good?

Brock Lesnar recieves a lot of flak from the passionate WWE audience - and perhaps even from some WWE Superstars backstage, and rightly so. He rarely features on RAW, is thrown into the spotlight ahead of a big PPV, and is often afforded title opportunities.

That may not change in the future. But, it would be foolish to diminish the impact that Lesnar has had on the business.

He will go down in history as one of the greats, and perhaps Lesnar could walk away from it all, with his head held high. Lesnar does things his way, and from the outside, it seems like nothing fazes him.

Lesnar has achieved everything there is to achieve and has also earned quite a lot of money in his WWE and UFC career. Could we maybe see The Beast walk away for good from the business? Time will tell.
