WWE News: HUGE Brock Lesnar update ahead of WrestleMania 34 - Fans won't like it

Lesnar hasn’t been seen on WWE TV for weeks as rumours suggest he won’t renew his contract, which runs out after WrestleMania, and will instead return to UFC.

According to Give Me Sport, WWE won’t allow him to compete in UFC while under contract with the wrestling company even though he got a one-off fight against Mark Hunt at UFC 200, despite announcing his retirement from MMA a few months earlier.

Chairman Vince McMahon, however, announced last Monday night on RAW that The Beast will appear next week.

But Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer doesn’t expect the Universal Champion to appear in front of the live audience in Dallas, Texas to address his upcoming title defence against Roman Reigns but will instead feature in a taped segment or via satellite.

Lesnar didn’t show up for RAW on February 26 which led to No1 Contender Reigns coming out and launching a scathing promo against him.

The ex-WWE Champion’s absence angered the fans, who are also not pleased with Lesnar’s extremely short matches in live events against Kane and The Miz.

WWE are now purposefully keeping him off TV to heat up his rivalry with The Big Dog.

Reigns hasn’t been popular among the fans ever since winning the 2015 Royal Rumble match.

But management hope that this feud would finally see the crowd aligning with the ex-Shield star.

Reigns has been expected to dethrone the Universal Champion at the Showcase of the Immortals since last year.

He was "temporarily suspended" after confronting McMahon on RAW.
