#1. Chris Jericho on possibly facing Brock Lesnar in AEW, reveals details of a nixed WWE match

Brock Lesnar's WWE status is being discussed extensively by the fans and pundits, and the belief is that the Beast Incarnate would end up re-signing with WWE.

However, there is a possibility of AEW offering Brock Lesnar a contract and Lesnar would also want to use that as leverage to get a better deal from the WWE.

Amidst all the rumors surrounding Brock Lesnar's future, Chris Jericho opened up on potentially having a match against Lesnar in AEW during an interview with Sports Illustrated.

While Jericho felt that Brock Lesnar doesn't really fit the AEW idea, the decision to sign the Beast Incarnate would be in Tony Khan and Lesnar's hands.

Jericho, however, said that he would be happy to face Lesnar and smack the former Universal Champion in his fat face. Le Champion also revealed that he was originally scheduled to face Brock Lesnar in April 2018, but Vince McMahon apparently nixed the plan.

"I don't know if Brock fits the whole AEW idea or attitude. That's a Tony Khan decision and a Brock decision. Do I think Brock does this every few years just to up his price with Vince? Of course he does. He's a genius when it comes to that. But hey, if he showed up in AEW, I'd be happy to go up against him and do the match we were supposed to do in April of 2018 in WWE that Vince then changed. We've never had a match on TV or pay-per-view, ever. If it came about, I'd be happy to go up and smack him in his fat face."
