Brock Lesnar has been fighting exclusively in WWE for a while now, but due to a one-time deal, the fighter will be back in the Octagon next month for UFC 200. He will return to face Mark Hunt, who accuses him of being a "pretender" of a fighter.
According to reports, WWE agreed to bring Lesnar to UFC again because it also wants to get a superstar fighter from the UFC side to come over to the wrestling ring. According to News.com.au, Ronda Rousey is being eyed to head over to WWE.
Rowdy hasn't been in the ring since she lost the bantamweight title to Holly Holm last November. It was reported that she won't be back in the UFC until next year.
Even though her comeback is still up in the air, WWE rumors indicate that WWE hopes for Rousey to appear on the wrestling show, presumably in the upcoming Wrestlemania 33 next year.
Seeing that Rousey's appearance in Wrestlemania 31 with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was a hit, WWE CEO Vince McMahon is looking to replicate that success in Wrestlemania 33.
This is made more possible with Lesnar being allowed to fight in UFC even though he is still under a contract with WWE. Apart from Rowdy's appearance, Forbes also believes that Lesnar's one-time UFC appearance will get the word out about SummerSlam to UFC fans, thus, enticing them to check out the pay-per-view event.
Lesnar's big return in UFC should make a bigger star out of him ahead of WWE's second biggest event as well. In turn, bringing Rousey over to WWE won't be much of a stretch, seeing that Lesnar, in a way, saves UFC 200 after the supposed Conor McGregor-Nate Diaz main event was canned.
Apart from Rowdy, Paige VanZant is also another UFC superstar that WWE is reportedly eyeing for an appearance.
