Dave Meltzer claims that WWE are also working under the assumption that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion will be gone after March 2015.
Meltzer said: “The Lesnar people always keep things quiet, but within the company, the belief is that he’s going back to UFC, and his showing up lighter to TV last week confirmed that to people who thought it.”
Dana White has previously said he would consider a Lesnar return but hasn’t talked to him. He previously said at “The Time is now” press conference in November that Lesnar wanted to compete again after he left the UFC following a TKO loss to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141 in December 2011.
White said at the time: “We have a great relationship with him. He’s healthy, and he’s said that he’s interested in fighting again. We’ll see what happens.”
Bellator president Scott Coker also showed interest in Lesnar, but they haven’t made an official offer.

So, if this is true do you think Brock is walking out of the Rumble without the title? Seems a bit of a waste to have his last match be a match that everyone knows he won't win. Think Rollins cashes in at the Rumble or at Mania in this case?

Let me be the first to say that it would be an insanely big waste if he leaves. Wyatt could've been the one instead.
It wouldn't have been a waste IF Lesnar fought people OTHER than Cena for Christ's sake.

Honestly just have Cena beat Lesnar at the Rumble and then have Cena drop the belt to Roman at Mania. No reason to drag out the Lesnar reign and if they do the likely conclusion is that the crowd shits on his match like they did at WrestleMania XX.

I think whether he's leaving or not, he should drop the title to Cena. This title reign is a failure on all fronts, and especially if he is leaving, it makes no sense to keep the belt on him until his last day in the company.

I see quiet a few fights they could go with, with an obvious one being the rematch with Overeem. There are some older fighters with names in the heavyweight division who aren't necessarily in the title hunt like Josh Barnett, Andrei Arlovski, and Roy Nelson. They could also try to squeeze out another Frank Mir fight too. The big question is Brock's history of diverticulitis and how much damage he can take to the stomach.

Reigns vs Cena is a very appealing Mania headline IF they are going with Reigns being the new face of the company. I'd prefer if they insist on going that route to spend the year building Reins with the title and have Cena vs Reigns as the main event next year. At least then you could have some question as to who would win and if one would turn heel ect.

Kind of funny how Brock just lets them sweat it out.

Honestly Reigns is good at what he does, but he's not ready to be the top face yet, he shouldn't be the one to beat Lesnar.
Give him another 6 months to a year and he'll be ready.

On one hand, it's time for Lesnar to drop the title.
On the other hand, Michael Cole going "THE 16-TIME WORLD CHAMPION, JOHN CENA!" for at least 10 years.

Lesnar isn't losing until Mania and nor should he. When Roman or Dolph beat Lesnar they will be launched into that top tier that only Cena occupies at the moment. Lesnar losing to Cena or anyone else before hand does not do a damned thing for anyone except reset everything once again and now is not the time for it. You don't waste The Streak, a Summerslam title squash and all the money spent on the same old shit. Now is the time you make Roman and start the build for Roman/Cena down the line.

If this is true maybe they could turn it into an angle. Have Heyman announce that Brock will be leaving after WrestleMania and it will be the last chance for someone to take the title off him.

Anyone know what his WWE pay is compared to his UFC pay?

You don't waste The Streak, a Summerslam title squash and all the money spent on the same old shit. Now is the time you make Roman and start the build for Roman/Cena down the line. In theory. In practice you have a guy who's drastically dragged down the value of the title so much that the thing probably wouldn't make for decent scrap metal at this point who'll most likely put on a shitty match to close out Mania (let's not give Lesnar the benefit of the doubt here, he's had one legitimately, honestly great match on its own merits since returning and two more that are great for the novelty, the rest have all been garbage) and is going to leave them tasked with figuring out how to explain his absence and him not bothering to come after his rematch. Plus, how often has the idea of somebody giving someone else a rub ever actually worked out? Ever? It pretty much all falls entirely on the guy keeping it up in the aftermath rather than just the action itself. If Dolph beats Lesnar he'll probably say something minor but offensive to the one person in the business whose opinion matters and be depushed just as fast for it like he has multiple times over, and if Reigns does the crowd will probably boo the shit out of him regardless. Especially if he's seen as the Goldberg to Lesnar's, well, Lesnar. And the streak's already been wasted on Cena wiping the floor with Brock at Night of Champions, spending months calling him a pussy who should have lost, and saying Taker was a coward for not bothering to come back swinging like he did after SummerSlam.

Nelson catching Brock with that overhand right is TERRIFYING.

"Lesnar vs Punk: This Time, They Are REALLY Hitting Each Other!" Punk vs. Lesnar: This time it'll be considered a victory if there's more than a third of Punk left.

Lesnar is smarter at pro-wrestling than you give him credit. Lesnar could give the belt over to the greatest WHC Co-Champs of all time: Vacant and Abeyant. Lesnar can be like, "I beat everyone here...what do I have to prove?" He bounces the hell out, lol Cena wins, and we move on...
