What Brock Lesnar should do after WrestleMania

Yet another Wrestlemania championship match against Roman Reigns, and yet another round of speculation regarding Brock Lesnar's contract status. Lesnar has had quite run in WWE since returning to the company in 2012. In his current run, he has solely frequented main event and top-tier feuds against Triple H, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and others, as well as his rivalry with The Undertaker.

During the run-up to Wrestlemania 31, The Beast's contract status was up in the air as it is now, but he managed to negotiate himself another few years of full-time pay for part-time work, as well as a one-off bout in UFC. Now that his time may be up again, it's time to analyze what is best for Brock Lesnar at this time.

The simplest way to grab a paycheck as well as a few more years of doing what Lesnar loves, which is to entertain, would be to re-sign with WWE and continue to take on a part-time payload. Lesnar is most likely going to lose the Universal title to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34, but there are still a number of high profile matches that the current Universal champion could be part of in WWE.

For example, Lesnar could revive the fleeting rivalry he had with Seth Rollins, or help give the rub to talented superstars like Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and others.

If no new match-ups excite Lesnar, he could always revive rivalries of old that have captivated wrestling fans in the past. For example, he could redo his amazing feud with Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, or an old rival of his from Japan in Shinsuke Nakamura.

Of course, if there is one thing that Lesnar likes to do more than entertain by pretending to beat people up, it would be beating people up for real. The former UFC world champion has not shut the door on the idea of going back to the UFC octagon for one more run at the UFC Heavyweight title.

There is no doubt that Dana White and UFC will love to dole out the money to bring Lesnar back to the octagon, as his PPV numbers speak for themselves. Although his last contest against Mark Hunt was ruled a no-contest, there's no doubt that a healthy Brock Lesnar is a moneymaker in UFC.

There are even many prominent opponents for him in UFC, namely Mark Hunt, Alistair Overeem, Stipe Miocic or a real superstar match-up against Jon Jones.

There are are a few issues with Lesnar going back to the UFC, however. Not only has Lesnar received a suspension from USADA, but more importantly, he is not the youngest competitor out there. I'm not writing Lesnar off by any means, as it has always been clear that he is a physical specimen like no other.

However, against a field of competitors with young fighters like Curtis Blaydes, Francis Ngannou, and others, The Beast might have to find a simpler way to a paycheck.

That is where the most unlikely scenario comes in, which is Brock Lesnar heading to New Japan Pro Wrestling. With NJPW's attempt to garner an audience in the United States, they would no doubt be willing to dish out the money to bring Lesnar over if possible.

Lesnar is a former IWGP Heavyweight champion, and there are many great match-ups in NJPW that Lesnar could have.

Chris Jericho's recent success in upping NJPW's numbers is evidence that Lesnar to do the same. Brock Lesnar vs Okada, Tanahashi, Naito, or Ishii, or any of the talented performers in NJPW, would bring in the money for NJPW.

Even if it was just a one-off, say for Wrestle Kingdom at the Tokyo Dome, Brock Lesnar can definitely create a second glorious run for himself in NJPW as he did in WWE.

Where will Lesnar end up? Only time will tell. However, one thing is clear, Brock Lesnar has numerous opportunities in his hands to conquer.
