Ultimately, the whole purpose of WWE is to tell a convincing story. We all know that Brock Lesnar is a man who has earned his stripes in both the scripted and non-scripted combat sports world, and many have predicted a return to UFC for the Beast Incarnate.

With the rumours running rampant, Paul Heyman strode out to sell the story that his client was more focussed on becoming a UFC fighter, because he was disrespected by WWE for not being the main event. I'm guessing this will be the storyline that WWE uses with Lesnar in coming months too.

Also, we all saw the showdown between Lesnar and Daniel Cormier at UFC. We all know that Brock Lesnar's career in the octagon is far from over, and the fact remains that he's still a big UFC draw.

It makes sense to take the title off Lesnar if he's going to the UFC.
