5 signs that Brock Lesnar will quit WWE after WrestleMania 35

Brock Lesnar is currently the WWE Universal Champion, a title he's held since WWE Crown Jewel where he pinned Braun Strowman to win the vacant title. Lesnar is set to defend his title at WrestleMania 35 against the winner of the 2019 Royal Rumble winner Seth Rollins in what could be Lesnar's last match in WWE for a while. There are a swathe of rumors which suggest that Lesnar may not be signing a new contract with the WWE when his current one ends after WrestleMania 35.

Lesnar would be a big loss for WWE, especially since Dean Ambrose also looks set to leave the company when his contract ends after allegedly refusing to sign a new deal. What does the future hold for Brock Lesnar? Are rumors of All Elite Wrestling's interest in signing Lesnar real or just rumors in the dirt sheets? We don't know anything for sure yet but there have been some signs in recent months that Brock Lesnar could be leaving WWE sooner rather than later.

#5. Lesnar is absent from SummerSlam 2019 promotional material

We begin with one of the biggest signs yet that Brock Lesnar could soon be leaving WWE. WWE SummerSlam 2019 comes from Toronto later this August, and WWE have already begun advertisement in the local markets. Guess who is conspicuously absent from all promotional material? Current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

Check out the promotional material for SummerSlam 2019 below:

Brock Lesnar is absent from promotional material for SummerSlam 2019

Brock Lesnar is one of WWE's biggest stars which makes his absence seem to be more than an oversight. This could be another sign that Brock Lesnar may soon be ending his career in WWE to look at greener pastures elsewhere.

#4. Brock is set to put over Seth Rollins at WrestleMania

Rollins and Lesnar

Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Universal Championship against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35. It's almost certain that Rollins will leave Mania as both new Universal Champion as well as the top babyface on RAW alongside Roman Reigns.

This is another big sign that Lesnar will leave. WWE have been pushing Rollins like a top star in recent months and also won the Royal Rumble earlier this year to earn his date with The Beast at Mania. This match could be a passing of the torch of sorts.

#3. A new client for Paul Heyman?

Will Paul Heyman get a new client?

Is it possible that the Shelton Benjamin angle on RAW was a test run to see how the WWE Universe would react to Heyman having a client. In case you missed RAW, Shelton Benjamin attacked Seth Rollins while the latter was in the midst of a promo with Paul Heyman from behind on RAW before wrestling him in a match.

#2. Chris Jericho said he wants a match with Brock Lesnar

Will we see Lesnar vs Jericho in AEW?

All Elite Wrestling have been making waves since being officially announced earlier this year. They have already signed the likes of Kenny Omega, Cody, The Young Bucks and Chris Jericho to their roster and with Lesnar's WWE contract is coming up soon, AEW could definitely afford to make him a lucrative offer if they feel it will be good business.

Chris Jericho aimed a tweet at Lesnar earlier this year's that got fans talking about the possibility of Jericho teasing a match between the two in the future: This is that the Tweet said:

"Intimidation and fear goes a LONG way in our business guys. But let’s be honest, @BrockLesnar needs to pull up his pants and lose the gut... the dream is over dude. I don’t play by the script... @wwe @AEWrestling"

#1. Dana White hinted at a UFC fight for Lesnar at the UFC 232 press conference

Brock Lesnar could be set for a UFC return

We all know that Brock Lesnar's contract is coming up soon and UFC is looking to put Lesnar into a high-profile match against Daniel Cormier. The question now is whether Lesnar will take time off from WWE to focus on the UFC or sign a new WWE contract and just not appear.

Dana White had the following to say about Lesnar possibly fighting in the UFC again at the post-show press conference after UFC 232 late last year.

“He’s not out of the picture. I think he’s already under contract with me. So we were talking about (a fight with Cormier) and then he ended up signing a new deal with WWE. What I think happens is he’s in a very unique position cause he can play this thing between UFC and WWE.”
