Changes made to WWE's deal with Brock Lesnar, news on WWE & Merriman

WWE World heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar alongside Paul Heyman

Brock Lesnar’s latest deal with the WWE has seen subtle changes and according to their new agreement, WWE has more control over the superstar’s busy schedule.

Due to the fact that he is the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, it allows them to book him for Raw and pay-per-view events whenever they feel they want him on TV.

Before, Lesnar’s dates and angles to the show had all been planned out months in advance. But now, Wrestling Observer reports that there is an agreement in place where WWE can add to Lesnar’s dates on a pro-rate basis.

Beginning from now until Wrestlemania 31, Lesnar can work in every pay-per-views accordingly if that is what the WWE wants.

Lesnar is scheduled to work next in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship rematch against John Cena at the Night of Champions PPV on 21^st September.

In other news, it was said before that former NFL player Shawne Merriman is no longer associated with WWE. It seems that he had actually never signed any WWE contract and the tale coming from within WWE now is that he was only making guest appearances for them during WrestleMania XXX time.

Back then, it was reported that WWE wanted Merriman to be an announcer and he was also going to be doing some in-ring training.
