Report: Lesnar told Vince McMahon he wants to work for both WWE, UFC
Brock Lesnar's SummerSlam match could be a good indicator of his future with WWE.
There's been speculation that Lesnar could leave WWE for UFC after the Aug. 19 pay-per-view, but according to Joe Peisich of Barn Burner Radio's "Fired Up" podcast, he's expressed interest in working for both companies.
"Brock Lesnar last week had a meeting with Vince (McMahon) and the higher-ups with WWE and he has told them that he wants to work with both. He wants to work with the WWE and the UFC," Peisich said on a recent episode of the podcast. "I don't know how that's going to happen, but if Brock does not lose the title at SummerSlam, you could see him working for WWE and UFC."
Lesnar will square off against Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam, and is also scheduled to appear on "Raw" the following night. He'll be eligible to return to the UFC in January following a lengthy suspension.
