Wrestling superstar Brock Lesnar's name has been circulating non-stop on the interwebs since news about his departure from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) popped up ahead of Wrestlemania 34 -- this apparent speculation has skyrocketed as Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Promotions president Dana White confesses that Lesnar is highly likely to re-emerge in the mixed martial arts (MMA) scene.
In an interview with Kevin Harvick's on his "SiriusXM NASCAR Radio" show, White confirmed that the chances of Lesnar making a comeback in the UFC scene are "very, very, very good."
Earlier this week, White and Lesnar were photographed together after WWE's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in Las Vegas -- the photo fueled more speculations about Lesnar's imminent exit from the show seeing as his contract will expire not long after the current season ends.
Aside from this, Lesnar's no-show move on Monday night's RAW only reinforced the rumors all the more.
ESPN argues that if Lesnar really want to make a return to the MMA scene, he would have to begin by entering the USADA's drug-testing pool and continue his six-month suspension after testing positive for prohibited drugs before his fight with Mark Hunt in UFC 200. This suspension, if he accepts, would lead him to not enter the UFC fight scene until August of this year.
However, according to Den of Geek, Lesnar's meeting with White and his absence from RAW is probably a negotiating ploy in order to beef up his next contract with WWE. It also suggests that this could also be some kind of a promotional stunt by WWE in order to hype up Lesnar's upcoming championship fight with Roman Reigns.
WWE has yet to issue an official confirmation regarding Lesnar's future in the coming Wrestlemania 34. Lesnar also has yet to voice any announcements regarding his stint on WWE or his rumored return to UFC.
