Noted Reddit user MetsFan4Ever has commented on post Wrestlemania plans for Brock Lesnar, including terms of his new deal, plans for other Superstars and a few other notes leading into Summerslam.
According to the verified “WWE Insider,” Vince McMahon was initially against Lesnar retaining the title this weekend, but has come around is on board with the idea. Vince, Triple H and their ‘inner circle’ have been working feverishly to figure out possible outcomes for the match.
The change in McMahon’s thinking is due to Brock being re-signed by WWE this week. We previously reported Brock has signed a three-year deal, and MetsFan4Ever has said the terms are for $3 million per year, for the full three years. This would be a pay cut from the reported (but unconfirmed) $5 million per year Lesnar had been making since returning to WWE in 2012.
The report also says Vince is OK with the idea of Brock being WWE Champion, John Cena holding the United States title, and either Sheamus, who is still unconfirmed to have a role Sunday, or Daniel Bryan holding the Intercontinental Championship. Dean Ambrose’s name was also mentioned, stating he is in line to get a heavy push heading into Summerslam. The two secondary titles would take a bigger television and house show presence, and Lesnar would continue to make limited appearances while holding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
It was noted that Roman Reigns’ push is being compared to Lex Luger’s 1993-94 WWE push, in the fact that neither star got over with the crowd as intended.
