Brock Lesnar’s WWE career could be OVER with UFC return in pipeline after WrestleMania 35 shock

Brock Lesnar appears to be heading back to the UFC after spectacularly losing the WWE Universal title to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.

His exit appeared to be on the cards before he succumbed to Royal Rumble winner Rollins’ ‘curb stomp finisher as Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman dropped a major bombshell.

Just moments after WWE legend Hulk Hogan opened the ‘Showcase of the Immortals’, Heyman stormed down to the ring.

Surprising fans, the former ECW chief announced that Lesnar would not be waiting around for his WWE Universal title defence against Seth Rollins - and would instead open the show.

The WWE Universal title match is often the main event at WrestleMania.

But this year, for the first time ever, the women will headline the ‘Show of Shows’ with Ronda Rousey battling Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.

Heyman insisted his ‘disrespected client’ Lesnar would not be hanging around because he would be heading straight for his private jet to Las Vegas where “he is appreciated” - a clear reference to his likely return to UFC, where he once held the heavyweight championship.

The ‘Beast Incarnate’s’ UFC comeback has been on the cards with his WWE deal set to expire.

It is thought he will be lined up for a fight with current heavyweight king Daniel Cormier, should he be cleared to compete in mixed martial arts.
