Say Brock Lesnar goes back to UFC, and fights there for another 2 years or so, maybe he even does quite well, now he's (hopefully) fully recovered from his stomach disease.
Would you see him ever returning to WWE, again, afterwards? Or would this WWE run be it?
I want him to be around for every Wrestlemania to replace The Undertaker. We need another seemingly unbeatable guy with a great mystique.
Although in an ideal world, Lesnar would stay in WWE and WWE would pay him what he wanted to wrestle at least 6 PPVs a year.

It all boils down to if it makes financial sense for WWE.
No point paying Brock millions of dollars, him only working select dates, and getting nothing in return for it i.e. more Network subscribers, higher TV ratings.

...He'll promptly get hit in the stomach again and crumple. I honestly can't see it happening, dude's getting paid ridiculous amount to do minimal work in WWE with a much lower chance of getting badly injured. I mean,one might say that UFC's paying more or something, but I highly doubt he needs the money that badly. I just don't see it happening.

I'd say there would be a good chance.
Brock loves wrestling, he's admitted it but said he hated the traveling. Hell just watch how he sells and the way he bumps, it's obvious he loves the business. It doesn't matter who he's facing, if he's told to sell or bump for them, he'll go all out.

Even if he went back to UFC, I don't see him giving it two years of 'real time'. Maybe two fights which could equal two years; but that's the absolute maximum.
After that, I think he'd pretty much just go back to the farm and never be heard from again.

With the exception of that match with Goldberg, Brock has given 110% in every match he's ever wrestled. If he went back to UFC, but wanted to have one match a year (at Mania) where he kind of took the Undertaker's spot, I'd be all for it.
Hell, ONE match per year would probably be the kind of thing the UFC "powers that be" would agree to if it meant having Lesnar back.

Brock still has the itch to fight according to some. But at his age and with his former health problems, his family and his money saved: would it be wise? I'd say no. Would I like to see it? f*** yes.

I think he'd have to lower his asking price to re-up with WWE. He works very limited dates and I doubt people are really buying/not buying the Network based on his appearances. That combined with the fact that he's not on RAW (ad revenue) that often seems to make him being on the roster something they'd only go for at a lower price point.

I'm not sure people wouldn't buy the Network for him. I got the Network because I really wanted to see him vs Cena at Summerslam and I'm sure I'm not alone on that one.

Of course Dana would want him to. He knows Lesnar would still draw for him.

Those monsters in UFC would immediately kick him in the stomach
He should stay in WWE part time where it's safer.

Whether he wants to fight again or not, no way he's not gonna get WWE, UFC, and even Bellator into a bidding war for him when his contract comes due.
That's going to be a very interesting when the time comes.

Lesnar will go where the money is. I think he's healthy enough to get back into MMA and you gotta believe that Bellator, with Viacom's financial approval, will go all-in on trying to lure Lesnar to keep him away from the UFC. If there is any possibility of a bidding war, the WWE won't be able to get involved with their financial struggles tied to the less than stellar Network numbers.

He contract doesn't make sense in a post-ppv world. So either he'd have to work for less, work more dates, or just work Mania (which probably will still be a big PPV event).

If he goes back to the UFC, I would hope that they'd never bring him in again.
And if he does run back to the UFC, boy it makes him ending the streak even more f***ing stupid. Just my own opinion.

In hindsight, did his contract make sense pre-Network? It seemed like he stopped making much of a difference in terms of PPV buys after his first few matches.
