WrestleMania 35: 5 reasons why Vince won't let Brock Lesnar leave WWE after the Show of Shows

Brock Lesnar is going to face Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35 for the Universal Championship. This year’s visual extravaganza is taking great shape, and it is certain that we will experience some unforgettable shocks in the upcoming weeks.

Everyone is expecting The Beast to lose his title to Rollins at the Show of Shows but what if it doesn’t happen? Just like last year, Brock Lesnar has a chance to conquer another Superstar who has challenged him. However, after considering the rumors surrounding him this year, I still think that Rollins will indeed win the championship from Lesnar.

But, it doesn’t mean that The Beast will leave WWE afterward. Lesnar is still a big deal to Vince McMahon, which is a reason he may remain in his company for some more time. In this article, I will present you five reasons why Brock Lesnar could stay in WWE after WrestleMania 35.

#5 The Saudi Arabia show

Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel

Last year, WWE signed a 10-year long contract with the Saudi Arabia General Sports Authority which has already resulted in 2 blockbuster events in the country. Right after WrestleMania 34, we witnessed the Greatest Royal Rumble pay-per-view, and in November, WWE held Crown Jewel show in Riyadh.

This year as well, we are going to see two big shows in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Even though the dates aren’t confirmed yet, a rumor revealed that the first show could happen on May 3rd. If that’s true, then there is no chance Brock Lesnar will miss the show.

It is most likely that he will work in Saudi Arabia as the Universal Champion, but it isn’t confirmed. Even if he loses the title, then he could fight in a rematch with Seth Rollins.

#4 UFC deal isn't done yet

Brock Lesnar showed up at UFC 226

From the past few months, it has been rumored that Brock Lesnar will face current UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier for the title. He even showed up at UFC 226 to confront Cormier and challenged him for a fight.

However, he still hasn’t signed a deal with UFC yet. According to the company’s president Dana White, Brock could return to the MMA world this summer.

"Brock Lesnar is doing his thing with WWE. One of the things about Brock Lesnar is, when that guy is ready to fight, he is not shy. He will call me, and he will let me know. To be honest with you, I'm hoping to hear from that guy this summer."

But, there is no guarantee that he will return to the UFC this year as well. WWE has invested tons of money in Brock Lesnar they will want his services for as long as possible - even beyond WrestleMania.

#3 SmackDown Live is moving to Fox Sports

WWE has signed a 5-year long deal with Fox Sports

Last year, WWE also signed a 5-year long television broadcast deal for SmackDown with Fox Sports which will come into effect this year in October.

Fox wants SmackDown to be a sports-oriented show and considering is current state, the brand needs to shake things up. I agree that SmackDown is far better than Monday Night RAW, but it still needs to focus less on funny segments.

Lesnar is currently the biggest Superstar in WWE and considering his popularity; Fox will want him to be at the SmackDown. And due to the enormous amount of money they will pay to WWE, Vince McMahon might draft Lesnar to the blue brand.

Currently, The Beast is holding the Universal Title, and if he steps foot in the blue brand, then one thing I surely believe is that he will become the new WWE Champion somwhere down the line after WrestleMania (or, who knows, maybe this could happen at the Grandest Stage of Them All as well). Yes, it's something the fans don't want to see, but as long as The Beast benefits McMahon, the latter will continue paying him.

#2 He may not lose his Universal Championship

Could this happen?

Last year, Roman Reigns became the number one contender for the Universal Championship. He faced Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34 in a match that totally seemed in his favor. However, The Beast shocked the world when he defeated Roman Reigns to retain his precious title.

Since then, The Conqueror defeated many of the top superstars in WWE before losing his Championship to Reigns at SummerSlam pay-per-view. However, unfortunately, leukemia shattered WWE plans for The Big Dog and Lesnar again became the Universal Champion at Crown Jewel. He is now set to face Rollins at WrestleMania, but my question is that will he lose his title? Will Seth Rollins slay The Beast?

This case is comparable to last year when we all assumed that Reigns would defeat Lesnar, but it didn't happen. Right now, I feel that something like this could have happened this year as well. Lesnar is a big deal to WWE, and I don't think that Vince will let someone like Rollins defeat The Beast in his company.

#1 AEW has eyes on The Beast

This is unlikely to happen

Since the arrival of All Elite Wrestling, things have significantly changed for some wrestlers. Cody Rhodes has already signed many of the top superstars including Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega and Pac (Neville).

Some friends are assuming that this new promotion could surpass WWE as the biggest promotion in this world. Yes, it is something that seems practically impossible at the moment, but things could suddenly change if AEW signs someone like Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania.

Even though The Beast takes an astonishing amount of money home, AEW has the potential to employ him. His appearance means a lot to this new promotion as it could genuinely change things for it.

However, how can Vince McMahon allow Lesnar to work for someone else? Considering the money WWE has invested in him; I think that Vince could re-sign him only to avoid AEW (or UFC) taking advantage.
