WWE Should have Lesnar and his opponent have a non scripted press conference air on raw for a boost in ratings

Looks like UFC is going to help promote Summerslam as part of the deal to let Lesnar fight in UFC.

Hey guys watch Brock lose to some guy in a fake wrestling event tomorrow night on the WWE Network which is like a bastard stepchild of UFC Fight Pass.

I was hoping Brock would take the WWE World Title at SummerSlam, and if he wins his fight, I assume that has a very good chance of happening. This is good business for both the WWE and UFC though. I imagine the WWE will get access to Ronda Rousey now. Charlotte vs. Rousey at WrestleMania would be pretty hot.

That would actually be a decent SummerSlam match. Seems like a good spot for Brock if he loses too. Rusev could drop the US Title to Cena who can then defend it against Styles at SummerSlam. You could get something looking like this:

Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose

Brock Lesnar vs. Rusev

Triple H vs. Bray Wyatt

United States Championship
John Cena (c) vs. AJ Styles

Women's Championship
Charlotte (c) vs. Sasha Banks

Special announcement to be made by:
The Rock (turns out to be Ronda Rousey competing at WrestleMania 33)

Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Gallows & Anderson (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Usos vs. Enzo & Cass

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn

Intercontinental Championship
Cesaro (c) vs. Chris Jericho

He will be fighting Mark Hunt.

What kind of a fighter is Mark Hunt?

A fat Samoan who hits like a fucking truck and has a chin

What? Had a kid in school named Mark Hunt, no one picked on him.

Mark Hunt ~~~ Ma Cunt.

Mike Hunt is better.

Yeah, could see that with Mike Hunt but not Mark.

eirckmans joke, not mine.

UFC our Samoan bad ass is better than your Samoan..Guy

Almedin vs Brock Lesnar would be nice.

I'm glad Ariel got banned for leaking the news, dude has already enjoyed enough

Mark Hunt isn't a very Samoan name.

I think Roman Reigns sould fit Brock inthe octogen

I can't believe he's fighting Hunt, probably the most dangerous match up there is for Brock. If he can take Hunt down without getting knocked out he can pound him out easily but that is a huge if.

Dana knows this is probably a 1 off and wants to make a star.

Hunt is already a star, but he's gonna the biggest MMA buy rate ever with this addition.

Jones vs Cormier
Lesnar vs Hunt
Aldo vs Edgar...

Fucking killer

From a wrestling perspective, this is perfect for the WWE assuming Lesnar doesn't get seriously hurt and faces Reigns at Summerslam.

If he beats Hunt, Heyman could boast about Lesnar wanting to take out another Samoan except this time to get back his belt while Reigns would try to topple the beast for some family or Samoan honor reason.

If he loses to Hunt, Reigns could tease Lesnar with Samoan related jokes leading to Lesnar going on a rampage till he gets both a title shot and a chance at possible revenge.

Lesnar should be getting whipped by Cain again

Do not like Bricks chances against one of the most badass heavyweights in history. If he struggles on even one takedown attempt he is fucked. Hunt is also in about a million times better fighting shape than Brock, physiques aside.

He's a top 10 heavy if not cracking top 5 every so often. Murderous standup and one of the nest chins in history. He's been k.o.ed but good Lord can he take a shot.

WWE's part of the deal could hit a snag depending on post-fight tests from New York's Commission since Summerslam is in the state this year.

Quote:

The state of New York does oversee professional wrestling and in speaking with a member of the New York State Athletic Commission, Lesnar will have to be cleared by the commission in order to work SummerSlam after his UFC 200 bout.

Laz Benitez of the New York State Athletic Commission provided the following statement to The LAW regarding the procedures that Lesnar will have to go through for clearance at SummerSlam:

Potential participation by Mr. Lesnar in an August WWE event would depend on his medical fitness and physical condition at the time of the professional wrestling show. No person is allowed to participate in a professional wrestling exhibition in New York State until he or she is cleared as medically fit to do so by a New York State licensed physician.

They'd still have UFC to help promote the ppv but could be missing out on Lesnar's possible mainstream drawing power if he's out.

Heymen going to interview Brock at 7.

What does this do to Brock in the WWE if he gets absolutely smashed?

As long as he doesn't get hurt he'll be fine. Coming back from UFC after a long absence and with the short preptime. People will get that.

Apparently the WWE have been looking at getting a Paige VanZant appearance out of this.

Quote:

So, why would WWE agree to Lesnar’s UFC return? If Lesnar is to be believed, WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon didn’t have much of a choice.

Lesnar, 38, described his recent meeting with McMahon during a Monday interview on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”

“I said, ‘Listen, old man, we can do this the hard way or the easy way,’” Lesnar chuckled. “I said, ‘Do you wanna arm-wrestle for it?’ and he’s like, ‘Yeah, what the hell.’ So, I ended up beating him, and here we are.”

According to Lesnar -- whose WWE ring attire includes MMA-style gloves and board shorts -- recording another bout under the UFC banner will prove beneficial to all parties involved.

:lol: at Brock and Vince having a random arm-wrestling match as part of the UFC talks.

Damn , I can see Hunt in a tko win. I'll be surprised if Brock takes him down at will, if he does take him down it'll have to be a finish then and there .
