Word is starting to go around that Lesnar has informed WWE that he won't be re-signing after WM 34, and that he is already trying to get in position to have a UFC fight by the end of the year.

If true the expectation would be that he'd lose the title match at SS and possibly be written off after a failed attempt to reclaim the title at the september ppv.

I think that would be best for business. I have not watched a single RAW since mania and a large part of that is the fact there is no champion.

Would UFC take him back after his positive drugs test after his fight with Hunt? Doubt it.
But now something has to be done about an absent champ.
Reigns is the obvious favourite, but I would love to see Strowman be given a chance. Having Strowman beat Lesnar clean would really cement his reputation.

Lesnar has apparently already filed paperwork to begin testing, to get reinstated. With the supposed plan being for his return fight to be in december.

I'd imagine UFC is looking for Lesnar to potentially be the replacement draw for McGregor, depending on what his post Mayweather fight future is.

It's vague but hopeful. Cena recently stated that he knows his days are numbered.

There's also talk that there is trouble in the Roman Empire, as his merch sales have went way down this year and he's the primary reason given when people explain why they cancelled the network.

So things should at least be more eventful this fall then the expected death march to Reigns vs Lesnar II at WM 34.

It looks like we'll get a Fatal 4 Way at Summerslam (Lesnar, Regins, Joe and Strowman) And then it seems much more open about how they move forward. Before recent developments it was dead certain that Reigns v Lesner would headline WM34. Now I can see it being Reigns v Cena and either Strowman or Joe to beat Lesnar in a loser leaves WWE match. I'd prefer Strowman to 'retire' Lesnar. I'd have Joe face KO in a cross promotional match. That gives you potential WM main events of:
Reigns v Cena (Universal Title)
AJ Styles v Nakamura (WWE Title)
Strowman v Lesnar (loser leaves)


Joe v Owens would be a great upper mid card match.

I'd have KO win the US Title back before AN. Have Joe win the IC Title then have a cross promotional Champ v Champ match.

I still think they'll do a 2nd shake-up after SummerSlam. It's an easy way to move some people around and get a ratings boost before Monday Night Football starts.

I could now see Reigns getting moved to Smackdown. To feud w/ Jinder, in september, when they go to India (where Roman's primary fanbase is as well), beat him for the title at the october ppv (In hopes of being cheered as a "Great American Hero"), and then face Cena at Mania. With his Face/ Heel/ Tweener role being determined by his merch numbers. A retirement match, for Goldberg, being another option if Cena feels the need to have another mixed tag against the Kanellis', a celeb couple, or whoever else.
