I’m not doubting that his WWE run didn’t play a large part in his ability to become a star in UFC. A LOT of people knew Brock from WWE and tuned in to see what he could do. Hell, a lot less people watched when Punk was on top and him having a name in a mainstream field earned HIM a couple UFC PPV paydays. AND HE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A LEGIT BACKGROUND.
But Brock is clearly an example of WWE letting a guy go to another field where he can actually become a star and then backing up the Brinks truck to bring him back and reap the benefits.
