Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, who is a former WWE backstage worker that has broken several WWE stories in the past and uploaded show scripts on Reddit, reports that several people at tonight’s SmackDown taping are claiming that the word is that Brock Lesnar will sign a new deal with WWE and stay with the company. He stated that with Roman Reigns not receiving the type of crowd reaction that the company had expected, Triple H is pushing the idea of having Lesnar retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania to Vince McMahon.
The idea would be for Lesnar to continue to make limited television appearances while holding the title. WWE would also elevate the U.S. and Intercontinental titles at WrestleMania by putting them on John Cena and Daniel Bryan, respectively. Those titles would headline house shows and pay-per-views where Lesnar is not scheduled.
Please take this as a rumor for now. Even if it is true, as we’ve seen with other company plans, they can literally change at the last minute.
