The Wrestling Post – Lesnar renews contract with WWE

January 28, 2013 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Brock Lesnar has signed a 2 year extension with the WWE.  The deal dispels rumors of a return to the UFC.

Lesnar’s WWE commitment was solidified when he showed up on Raw Monday night and F5’d Vince McMahon.  The appearance likely means that Lesnar will appear at Wrestlemania this spring.  PWInsider.com first reported the re-signings of Lesnar and Chris Jericho.  Lesnar had signed a limited one year deal which expired this spring.  This deal will have him with the WWE through Wrestlemania 31.

Payout Take:
 Interesting to note that Lesnar still sports Jimmy John’s and Case IH, an agricultural equipment company, on the back of his shirts. Its a prudent move despite the rumors that Brock might have been willing to come back to the UFC.  Certainly he could make more money with the WWE taking less physical abuse than he would in the UFC.  At his age and with his past medical issues, its the better business move.

I feel like crap tables minimums will be raised to $500

@esidery That $13B will be carried by most of the residents. It always starts off saying these owners/investors will pay then once they start to build they start asking the city/state for money.

The NBA will soon announce the Walton Laurie group as the expansion bid winners for Las Vegas with launch in 2028-29.

Nancy Walton Laurie, Bill Laurie and Raiders minority owner Egon Durban would build a new arena.

Including the arena, their official bid is around $13 billion.
