The heart of the matter

Here's what Joe Peisich of the Fired Up Podcast said about the situation, breaking some news for his listeners:

I'll break some news. Brock Lesnar last week had a meeting with Vince and the higher ups with WWE. And he has told them that he wants to work with both.

He explained the current situation further, and the way Lesnar could continue with two promotions, in coming months:

He wants to work with WWE and UFC. I don’t know how that’s going to happen, but if Brock does not lose the title at SummerSlam you could see him working for both WWE and UFC. Like I said, I don't know how that works but he wants to work for both.

What's next?

All eyes are on SummerSlam, to see how the main event plays out. Will we see a brand new Universal Champion crowned? Will Brock Lesnar walk out of Brooklyn, still your Universal Champion?
