Meltzer noted that he’s heard Lesnar has signed on for 8-12 matches as part of his contract. From a financial standpoint, WWE will get more money from booking this upcoming match in Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel, which would justify the amount of money WWE is paying Lesnar, instead of saving it for WrestleMania. It was reported last week this was a last-minute deal made by WWE and was due in part because they wanted to appease FOX, who wasn’t happy about WWE not making a big offer to bring back CM Punk.ĭuring today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer was talking about the direction that WWE is going in for Lesnar and Reigns. Brock Lesnar made his big WWE return after being away since WrestleMania 36 at SummerSlam to have a confrontation with WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
