He's probably there to talk to Dana. Playing WWE and UFC against each other for money will be VERY lucrative for Brock. Smart move. Agreed. Also, I kinda like the suit. I'm not sure what I want in regards to Brock.

I saw him on screen & just started laughing. If this is a strategy to leverage a better deal from WWE, it's a genesis move on his part.

He's playing the field since people will be knocking down his door with offers after Mania

Dana White addresses the situation(3:28):
I think he is going back to the UFC. I love seeing him perform in the WWE but if that is what he wants to do... Then I respect his decision. I'm a fan of the UFC too, so I have no problems whit this. I'm excited to see both Punk and Brock in the Octagon.

Yeah Vince probably is not happy..
He is going to have to pay more most likely to keep Lesnar so it will be interesting to see what happens later this year.

I'm going to guess but my hunch is that Vince is probably pissed. I'm not saying signing Brock was a bad idea. It was a bad idea for the WWE to make a part timer kill Takers WM streak, essentially demolish the face the company in a lopsided match, likely drop the WWE title to a guy that likely isn't ready for that top spot just yet (...and I actually like Reigns), and likely leave once his WWE expires for the UFC anyways. It's things like this that make me wish that WWE brass would take their heads out of their firmly entrenched asses and look at the bigger picture of the product. They need to stay 2 steps ahead of competition and realize that the next big thing in the company could already be on that roster. Instead, they hotshot guys instead of build them up over time hoping something sticks. When it doesn't work, they bury them...then find a part timer to become the products band aid because they've exhausted Plans A, B, and C for the future.
Whether Vince or anyone cares to acknowledge it or not, but UFC is competition for the WWE. No one knows what was exchanged between Dana White and Brock at the ppv. They aren't going to say anything with Brock under contract and Dana acknowledged that at the end of the press conference. Unfortunately, you can't get Dana White for tampering and you aren't going to fire Brock before your biggest ppv of the year. Brock has everything going in his favor when it comes time to re-up his WWE contract...but I think the damage is done. More power to Brock for taking advantage of the situation. I just hope Brock doesn't approach this WM match like he did with Goldberg and give us a half assed attempt in that ring.

WWE shouldn't re-sign Brock Lesnar. I like him and think his matches are FANTASTIC, but from a business standpoint, he's a monumental WASTE of money. He's not around enough to be drawing in any type of money to make that huge contract worthwhile.
As much as Vince wants to turn WWE Title matches into big attractions like UFC prize fights.....it's not going to happen. His audience wants a Champion that is on the show every week, and who competes regularly.
Brock Lesnar appearing once in a while does NOT make those few shows seem "extra special", it only highlights how mediocre the other shows are when you don't have a Champion.
Like I siad, if he leaves, they are losing a great performer.....but he only performs like 3 times a year anyway. The rest of his appearances are him standing there while Heyman talks, which is a waste of money to even pay him to do that.

I want him to resign , but the look on Whites face when he talked about Brock and his contract with WWE expiring makes me feel his is definitely on his way out.

I don't think Brock really wants to fight in UFC again. I think he likes the idea of it, and likes the idea of people wanting him.
After his last fight he gave a speech about quitting fighting for his family. I could maybe see one last fight for a big pay day. But Brock never looked truly comfortable in the octagon, IMO. Even when he was dominant. I think this whole thing is about Brock wanting to stay in WWE but Vince probably low balled him and now Brock's pissed and pretending like he could go back to UFC. There's no way Brock wants that. He wants the big easy money with WWE.

Ya know I wouldn't be surprised if WWE are leaking "Brock is leaving for UFC" kind of crap to try and get Roman a better reaction at Mania. Last time Brock left he got booed out the building.

I'm a little torn on where I stand with this, I both agree and disagree with you. I agree that the champion should be seen regularly, no doubt and that Lesnar is a huge investment for limited dates. However, his matches are must see. I don't know how WWE is able to compare PPV buys these days with the Network and everything, but just off gut feeling I'd have to assume Lesnar PPVs do better than non-Lesnar PPVs. I also like the limited title defenses, it makes the matches feel that much more special. I'd love for him to stick around because outside of Rollins, he's really the biggest reason I tune in these days.

If Brock is leaving WWE then...
Fans are going to pull down their pants and take a collective dump all over the Wrestlemania main event.

If WWE leaks that Lesnar is leaving for UFC, the crowd chants for the main event of Wrestlemania will range from "Roman Reigns sucks", to "Lesnar sucks", to "You both suck".
