Brockwinslol . I just hope that after Roman loses, they dont sour on him and send him into obscurity. Have a big redemption angle over the next year that leads to him winning the title at Mania 32 in a Shield triple threat. Im sure everybody would be happy with that I'm sure that situation would be a lot worse. Having him go over the 2 much better members of the Shield will not sit well with a lot of people. He has a whole year to do other things and improve his weak points. Thats why people are complaining about him, and theyve stated it many times. If Reigns were to win the big one at mania 32, im sure people would be fine with it. Actually, probably not. People find anything to complaim about

Eh, it's not exactly surprising news. What the hell else was he going to do? A UFC return was never really on the cards, given his illness and the fact that he couldn't cut it in the UFC anymore. During his time in the UFC, he only beat a poor Heath Herring, an over-the-hill Randy Couture and a gassed Shane Carwin. When he fought someone better, he got found out... Velasquez wrecked him, and Overeem finished him with one kick to the body. It was either re-sign with the WWE or bust. Frank Mir says hello.

Sometimes I wonder how WWE would have turned out if Brock had stayed or came back sooner.

Putting somebody in a spot and hoping they get better in time is what ed everything up this year.

Maybe now we will get a Bryan/Brock program?
All i know is that Reigns went from 100% winning to having a 0% chance of winning overnight. WWE isn't taking the title off Brock if he is going to stick around. That was the whole thing about "being a special attraction".

All I can say is... Wow. What a job by the WWE too to completely swerve ESPN. They didn't tell them that he was going to resign on purpose so that they would give him this airtime in the hope he would be revealing he's coming back to the UFC. Well the WWE got them hook, line and sinker, with a full 5 minute slot, prime time, for free just five days before Wrestlemania.
I'm also ecstatic about the news too, I never saw it coming but I thought he'd still work the Rock next year. One things for sure, it all but confirms he will get a huge reaction on Sunday now. Have to worry for Reigns now though, it makes me wonder that if Reigns was still going over then they probably wouldn't want all this added support for Lesnar? It really throws the whole thing in the air now, although I still think a Reigns is going over with Lesnar vs a The Rock to follow.

This is fantastic news. The main event just got a little more interesting.
I think Brock made the right call since if he went back to the UFC and lost badly it would hurt his value (even though he would destroy Frank Mir but would lose to Travis Browne type or Cain Valasquez again). Plus he can wrestle for a few more years while he can only fight max 2 times.

Oh, thank God. Retain at Wrestlemania. Please. I hope although I am still not certain he will win. Even if he does retain Rollins needs to successfully cash in eventually and WM would be the best place to do it with the second best place the Raw after WM. Things just got a lot more interesting for this main event so we'll see Sunday!

Really WWE? Really? So, you have a roster full of guys who bust their ass night in and night out, yet, instead of giving them a little raise or letting them have a chance at the main event scene, you drive a ANOTHER truckload of money up to the house of a guy who has done NOTHING to help your product and can only be bothered to show up a dozen times a year, most of which he just stands there looking like a puffed up ten year old while Paul Heyman does his best to make him at least a little interesting.
On the bright side, this just makes a Roman Reigns win less likely and I think a Seth Rollins cash in more likely at WrestleMania.

Dude was just on the biggest sports network on the planet, putting over the WWE.

So? I'm sure WWE will love the slight buzz that comes from that for a few days, but it doesn't help the product at all. Will anyone who wasn't already planning on watching WrestleMania now do so via a new network subscription or buying the PPV solely because they heard Brock Lesnar talking on ESPN about how he resigned with WWE? History says that it won't make a difference as Brock Lesnar hasn't made a big enough impact on network or PPV buys to justify the massive amount of money they pay him and level they put him at on the card.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm hating on the guy any. In all honesty, I don't care for the fact that he's a part-time champion and in the main event of all the major shows while other people who work ten times as hard and twenty times as often don't get that same opportunity, but at least he's honest about his intentions, never claiming to be there for the love of the business and never promising that he'd be around all the time. He's said all along it's only really about the money. I'm just disappointed in WWE. So many times you hear how WWE brass is getting their undies in a bundle about not having many legitimate main event stars and how the roster is so thin, yet they don't really allow anyone new into the main event scene and when they do it's only because John Cena or Brock Lesnar weren't around. Well, either that or the guy they pick to be the new it guy is so completely and obviously not ready for that position.
Bottom line is that I don't see how re-signing Brock Lesnar (presumably to a very similar or even more lucrative deal than he had before) helps your company grow. He hasn't proven to be a big enough draw to warrant that kind of treatment. Of course, who really knows what the deal is at this point... All he really said was that it was too good to pass up. Maybe he'll be around more. Maybe he'll have some different feuds and storylines that will actually draw interest and bring in more viewers and paying network subscribers. That would be wonderful for WWE and wonderful for WWE fans. But if the Brock Lesnar we get for the next few years is the same one we got the past few years, then I think WWE made a really big mistake. They're kind of gambling a lot on Lesnar. I hope it pays off, but I'm not very optimistic about it.

I've been so sure of a Brock win for a while, and this makes me even more certain. Which is almost a bit annoying because I think the majority were expecting Reigns to win until last night.
But hey, I'm glad people are finally showing more interest in this match. Can't wait to see how it goes down.

I'm happy with everything, from the way it was announced, to the timing, to the announcement itself. Brock is a huge asset to WWE, and I can't wait for the main event on Sunday.

The timing for this announcement really was perfect. Brock just saved the main event and added a lot of possibilities for the match. People are invested a lot more now... Anything can happen this Sunday. Can't ing wait.
