WWE Rumors: Brock Lesnar's New Contract Details
In case you haven't heard Paul Heyman say it 52 times in the last three weeks, Brock Lesnar is the reigning, defending WWE World Heavyweight Champion after he eviscerated John Cena at SummerSlam. But it was the "defending" part of the statement that had some fans concerned when rumors first surfaced that Lesnar would likely win the belt.
As most fans know, Lesnar only appears a select few times each year and wrestles even more infrequently, with at most three or so pay-per-view bouts per year. That would be an odd schedule for the champion, whom fans are used to seeing week in and week out for nearly the entire year. But according to new reports, Lesnar and WWE have reached a new deal that should alleviate those concerns.
Multiple sites have reported that WWE has a deal with Lesnar for the duration of his championship reign wherein the company can use him whenever it wants as long as it ponies up the cash for each appearance.
Previously, the two sides had a deal in which Lesnar would work select dates that they decided on months ahead of time. That deal is still in place, according to F4WOnline.com, but the new agreement allows WWE to call on Lesnar for additional dates. This means we could see him defend the belt at pay-per-views and appear on occasional episodes of Monday Night Raw, assuming of course he holds the belt until WrestleMania 31.
Does Lesnar's new deal remove your concerns about him as WWE World Heavyweight Champion? How often do you think he will appear on WWE television until Mania? Let us know in the comments section.
