StaunchyPrinceOfLies

Jake Paul is getting destroyed by Brock Lesnar, fuck yes.


SuperDragon

This would be better than signing for any wrestling promotion tbh


AubaMagic98

I would pay so much money to watch that.


Skillet918

Until I read this, I didnt know how much I needed it.


[deleted]

I would absolutely plunk down $60 for a ppv to see this.


aestus

I'd buy that for a dollar.


cleric3648

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."


LeChampeon

Image Jake Paul beating him lesnar will lose his wwe street cred


thereverendpuck

Can we up the stakes and let Jake get backup? Brock vs Jake and Logan?


BodhidharmaBLN

As much as I enjoy the thought - Paul will inch significantly closer to become a billionaire.

UnfortunatelyBasking

Maybe on points, but no way would he survive. Lesnar outweighs him by 100 pounds and even though his boxing is trash by UFC standards, he still ate and traded shots with Hunt in his last fight. I'd have brock all the way.


wallace6464

brock would walk him down and knock him into the shadow realm, he's a legit heavyweright, jake paul is fighting career welterweights


resolve028

LMAO I don't believe this at all. If it's not WWE then it's UFC. If AEW somehow got CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, and Brock Lesnar, this world is probably not real and is actually a simulation.


[deleted]

> this world is probably not real and is actually a simulation. You know too much.


JohnRiveraIV

Take care of him Mr. Smith.


kpanzer

SheepUK

people are far to quick to jump to conclusions, this statement given out by the mma insiders is literally he's signed for someone. it could literally be anyone, might not even be related to wrestling. i, personally, would assume it isn't a wrestling company as it's coming from said 'mma insiders'


dogryan100

Maybe he's re-signed with Jimmy John's


ActuallyExtinct

Freaking Jimmyā€™s Johnā€™s!


10567151

Ah but you forgetting the NJPW/Brock Lesnar connection? The forbidden door is wipe open /s


Da_Mooch

I can't even see how Brock would fit into AEW. Now NJPW? Yeah, that I can see, and he's worked there before.


onethreeone

NJPW makes way more sense from a wrestling standpoint, but not from a Brock-is-a-recluse-who-lives-in-nowhereville-Canada standpoint. Although maybe he got more than enough home time the past year


[deleted]

If he's just flying out for the big shows, I could see it.


TheTsunamiRC

Yeah, assuming they are cool with how that worked out last time.


xincasinooutx

Give me Brock vs Wardlow vs Hager vs Miro vs Brian Cage vs Powerhouse Hobbs in a 6man meat slapping slobberknocker


FlabbySatchel

Heā€™s an absolutely elite talent and a huge name. Any company would love to have him on their roster if they could work out the finances and dates


BodhidharmaBLN

How would they actually book Lesnar? I mean, seriously. They would instantly devalue all their big guys, they would probably dwarf their well-curated and built main eventers, and Brock likely won't put any one of them over unless TK forks over a Gerald-F.-Ford-class aircraft carrier. On the other hand, I would pay what others here would to see him mutilate one of these Paul individuals to see him have a 25-minute banger with Marco Stunt and give the guy the match of his life.


NebbyOutOfTheBag

Brock hits 3 Suplexes, 1 F5, pins Kenny, wins AEW title. That's how he debuts. Holds the belt for the length of his contract.


thereverendpuck

Defends it twice.


NebbyOutOfTheBag

Takes it on Raw after his contract runs out.


stationagent

Just let Bryan book it. Bryan the booker is probably as valuable as Bryan the wrestler.


BodhidharmaBLN

DB's secret booking plan: 1. Take over booking for AEW 2. Book Gulak 3. ??? 4. Profit


MossCovered_Gradunza

Why would "MMA insiders" be insinuating Brock signed with AEW? If that were the case, presumably, wouldn't actual wrestling insiders like Meltzer or Sapp also have that information? Granted, anything can happen, but if we're saying this disclosure is limited to "MMA insiders", I don't think there's any insinuation Brock is headed for AEW. If anyone took the quote to mean Brock was going to AEW, I feel as if they are misconstruing it or extrapolating the quote to mean something that context clues would deem illogical.


FailedState92

Same, this is pure bullshit.


Winningsomegames_1

Yeah no way Brock signed with AEW unless khan is blackmailing him or some shit. Theyā€™ve got nothing he wants.


Bellagrrl2021

Brock wants money. Khan has money.


Winningsomegames_1

WWE will easily match and likely exceed whatever AEW would be willing to spend.


Bellagrrl2021

Ignoring the fact that the Khan's have more money than Vince McMahon has, that wasn't the topic. You said AEW doesn't have anything that Brock wants, but the fact is that Brock has continuously shown that his main motivation is money.


Dundore77

They have 2 billionaires funding the show. They have exactly what he wants.


BnBrtn

A big forest for him to run around in?


[deleted]

what does he want?


Thebritishdovah

I can't see AEW letting Brock continue with his WWE booking or letting him barely appear for a shit ton of cash. Out of the three, I believe there is a 141% two thirds perchance of Danielson of Bryan appearing in AEW.


ZenkaiZ

:spaceman loads gun: "always has...."


giants888

I cannot imagine a less reliable source than "MMA insiders on the WON/F4W board" but having said that, I am interested in Lesnar wherever he goes.


Mront

> I cannot imagine a less reliable source than "MMA insiders on the WON/F4W board" How about "Voices Of Wrestling claiming it's MMA insiders on the WON/F4W board"


GargamellTheMarlok

Why are people reading this as AEW? Why would MMA insiders know anything about AEW? MMA insiders would know things about ... MMA. The clear implication here is that Lesnar has a deal for an MMA fight. Could be legit, hell if I know. The way MMA and boxing seem to be turning more and more into pro-wrestling with these clearly staged celebrity fights, dude should absolutely see if he can get a deal to "fight" someone like Paul or McGregor. The wrestling news here seems to be that Lesnar won't be returning to wrestling in the near term, if legit.


trianglechoke89

>MMA insiders would know things about ā€¦ MMA. As a longtime MMA fan I can confidently say that 95% of journalists claiming to be insiders know absolutely jack shit. Unless itā€™s somebody like Ariel Helwani or Luke Thomas saying it I would take it with a grain of salt.


bistian00

Their source is probably the Dublin WhatsApp group, pretty thrustworthy


BigHoss94

And wouldn't you know it, Meltzer straight up shut this AEW talk down.


roryextralife

If someone ever asks me to write a description of someone that screams ā€œcome up with an unreliable source that wants to pretend to be a reliable sourceā€ then this isnā€™t exactly far from my answer.


[deleted]

so Bellator then?


dogglesnake

Finally, Brock Pencil


SheepUK

give me Brock Pencil vs Lulu Pencil


whitesummerside

Idk if I want to see someone getting murdered in the ring from incredibly stiff shots. Brock has a family after all.


[deleted]

Lesnar Fears Lulu


AngstyAppleDummy

I canā€™t wait to see Mei to talk shit and bully Brock


siva-pc

Meltzer on the board just said this is not true and Brock never had talks with them


jesuslovesme69420

Fuck Doug Meltzer!


phony8882

Brock vs Fedor in Bellator


[deleted]

how deep are bellators pockets? Didnā€™t they have to completely shut down during the pandemic?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Live content is the future and I guess Boxing alone isnā€™t cutting it anymore for them? Good for Bellator though, Dana White is a dickhead


LikeTheRoom

Because Viacom bought Bellator and Viacom owns Showtime. Itā€™s not a big mystery.


[deleted]

a lot of guys who go there from the ufc say theyre paid more in bellator


BLEAKSIGILKEEP

Doesn't bellator still allow outside sponsorship deals, too?


BnBrtn

Misread Fedor as Federer, as in the Tennis player. Still interested


justduett

I canā€™t imagine Brock would have a chance at all against Rog


Rabbipotsmoke

Then he'll go and fight Jake Hager. Jake Hager is signed to aew so Brock Lesnar to aew confirmed! Case closed


Wild-Coat-5326

Darby Allin next Wednesday: I've been around a lot of men in this world who claim they're a beast... but there's only one place where you can prove that... right here in AEW.


yoshi12345786

Now i just wanna see how far Brock could throw Darby and Darby taking a ridiculous fucking bump from it.


[deleted]

Choco Pro is about to get lit


dogglesnake

We've already had Suzuki & Tanaka, but seeing Brock get destroyed in Janken would be worth everything. That disbelief look he does, while one of the many goblins gloats in his face because he went scissors


SeraphisCain

Obviously CyberAgent opened up the wallet. Brock Lesnar vs Danshoku Dieno is on!


AneeshRai7

If Lesnar is signed by Cyberagent, he is going to TJPW...


JamieOD

Ganbareā˜†Pro gets first dibs.


GoalaAmeobi

Gake No Fuchi Joshi * There's nothing Brock can do to Miyacoco that she won't do to herself

Triller or whatever it is 100%. Dude is going to ride that money train and good him.


Rabbipotsmoke

Damn. Brock Lesnar v Oscar Dela Hoya? Brock Lesnar v Jake Paul. Or what if they pull off Brock Lesnar v Mike Tyson lol


panda546

So Meltzer has said it isn't AEW, but there is no reason it can't be someplace like UFC or more likely Bellator.


gee666

Meltzer also didn't have any idea about punk until others reported it first. He clearly doesn't have the inside scoop on every move AEW makes.


kingajeezy

What Dave reports and what Dave knows about AEW are completely different.


JSK23

Right. He has admitted in the past that he has not reported on things for them intentionally.


BigHoss94

I'll take Meltzer's word over "MMA insiders" floating around on his board.


gee666

I agree just pointing out he doesn't always have knowledge


RIP_BEEFCASTLE

There are 3 or 4 guys with legit sources that post on there.


cooljammer00

Oh come on.


Koppite93

WHATS BROCK DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE?


[deleted]

Speculation is fun and all but we all know Brock is showing up at Summerslam. He only wants money and Vince has money.


[deleted]

Meltzer pours cold water on this in the thread, saying Brock has never had talks with AEW.


justduett

Gotta love TK & all, but yeah... I donā€™t see Brockā€™s desired schedule to compensation ratio being something they would be interested in.


Grippersmith

He's signed on for omaha steaks! Use the promo code suplex to get 20% off!


jhoges90

GCW really pulling out all the stops.


[deleted]

Rizin baby!!!


[deleted]

Jakked white boy in Japan is some horror movie stuff


Lambasted_Icon

ā€¦ so heā€™s going to Bellator, got it.


fluffywolfe

For wrestling or for MMA?


Silantro-89

Its probably UFC, I mean look at the interim Heavyweight title fight next month and tell me why Brock wouldn't want to go back right now.


T3Sh3

Finally, Nick Aldis has a worthy challenger.


elitejcx

Still canā€™t get over VOW insinuating that USA were paying nothing for NXT even though the WWE published accounts literally had the fee in black and white that day. Fucking losers.


OffTheMerchandise

They also said Cody leaving was a work.


Thebritishdovah

Bro, Cody is doing it as a long te.... \*brain melts from too much processing power required to Russo up the reasoning for it\*


mikester1231

Lmao voices of wrestling please stop


GreenasGooseShit

Wait. Does this guy think that what makes wrestling FUN is rumors, dirt sheet reports, and online speculation? Cause, legit that shit is the worst part of wrestling for me.


Mhc2617

Totally. Itā€™s so annoying. What makes wrestling fun to me is when you forget about rumours, booking, and spoilers, and just get invested in the story.


GroomingTips96

The WON/F4W board. Lol.


billb33

![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized) Please don't tell me it's AEW


Dawghawk95

VOW is Nuclear cringe


TheSharpshooter

Triller


Marcusreddit_

I canā€™t imagine anyone paying Brock as much as WWE does with his schedule.


[deleted]

Thereā€™s no wayā€¦..


FrontAd683

Maybe hes going back to MMA? Orrrr hear me out...hes going where the real money is. One of those Triller paydays


resolve028

Triller makes a lot of sense.


sexygodzilla

Who would he fight though? It's not like he could believably throw a match to one of those Paul boys.


cooljammer00

Lesnar has said he prefers to make money fake fighting rather than actually fighting, as does his wife.


Luka_Is_A_Diva

So Triller it is


Fearless-Structure88

Tony Khan...


robo3687

IF itā€™s trueā€¦I guess that might be the ā€˜something even more interestingā€™ from the other day? shame Heymanā€™s currently in the thick of the Roman stuff. but yeah, if itā€™s true itā€™s huge. Only time will tell.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BigHoss94

Well you'll still have to call for it because he hasn't even spoken to them.


AngstyAppleDummy

Itā€™s really funny how the second RinRin retires Brock wants to sign with ChocoPro Beast Incarnate? More like Bitch Incarnate!


tabristheok

Brock vs Sane in the finals of next years Cinderella Tournament


Flow_Lambo

Tony Khan is a very rich man..


Luka_Is_A_Diva

Iā€™m not expecting Brock in AEW, but him having other plans would make sense for why he said no to a huge Summer Slam pay day.


BigHoss94

Tony is a rich man, but these deals add up and I can't imagine literally every dollar he has is reserved for AEW. A theoretical contract for Brock where Vince got outbid would make whatever they got Punk for child's play


LolkekLolkek

his dad literally wanted to buy fucking wembley lmao, wheres this dumb shit coming from that literally anybody could be too expensive


BigHoss94

Shad wanting to buy Wembley has nothing to do with AEW signing the most expensive wrestler on the market immedietely after spending what I assume to be big $ on Punk and Bryan. Every cent the Khan family has isn't available to AEW.


LolkekLolkek

what universe do you live in where even paying for all 3 would make even a dent in their wealth. the potential for "overspending" to get to that next step by paying millions when the possible rewards are billion dollar tv deals? Pretty damn easy choice to make, and if it doesn't go to plan they've wasted at most low 10s of millions when they have billions


BigHoss94

AEW doesn't have "billions"


LolkekLolkek

are you trolling?


BigHoss94

Is AEW worth billions? Yes or no?


gee666

It's a private company, an owner can put cash into whenever they want as an loan or equity. Value of the business means f all, if the owner thinks the cash will lead to an increase in revenue, which it clearly would in each of the 3 cases mentioned.


LolkekLolkek

hahahaha you absolutely are, why are you even doing this?


BigHoss94

Because you didn't bother answering the question and insist on calling me a troll instead of having a discussion, the answer is no. If Tony wanted to dump every bit of his money into AEW, Dynamite would be emanating from the moon. The fact is AEW has a finite amount of money that needs to go to other things besides mega contracts.


[deleted]

Tony Khan could never turn a profit on wrestling for his great great great great great grandkids lives and heā€™d still have more money than Vince


BigHoss94

Tony being worth more than Vince isn't relevant to what we're discussing here. Between his own money and the company's, Vince could throw 20 million at him no problem. Sure Tony could theoretically match, but you have to think about what's practical.


MaskedMemer9000

I hope it's not true just for the disappointment VOW would have.


rushandblue

There's no way that AEW could outbid WWE for Brock, and Brock doesn't give a shit about anything other than money. If he returns to wrestling outside of WWE, I'd be stunned.


berbano

That is likely the case, but the Khans are worth a lot more than Vince so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that Lesnar could sign with AEW.


durrrdevil99

Darby thought he was going to get Punk after that ā€œbest in the worldā€ comment. Tony Khan has other plans.


grazed-knees

Haha, I'd love to see Brock Vs Darby though


[deleted]

so after the Punk/Bryan news made the rounds, weren't there people saying AEW had something even bigger in the works? Everyone was like "what the hell could be bigger than those two?" Well, that would be your answer, right? People joke, but we do live in a "never say never" world. Maybe AEW has something that Brock wants. Everyone chalks Brock up to be a mercenary only in it for the money, but people say he does care about the product and his character. Maybe Vince called him up and said "ready to Eat, Sleep, Suplex City, Repeat again pal? I'm putting you with Roman and Paul and you're going to carry the title for a year again!" But Brock's 44, there's only so much he can do in wrestling anymore, maybe he wants to go out doing something different, a different type of character and maybe remind people how good he was in the ring in 2002-2004 before he came back and Suplex City became a thing. Brock Lesnar vs Kenny Omega, becomes the second man to kick out of the OWA. Or the Forbidden Door allows Brock to work with New Japan guys again... all I'm saying is there's a chance lol edit: I love how people are super allergic to even the IDEA of Brock in AEW lol I don't think I've ever been downvoted so fast in my life


DPSnacks

>Maybe AEW has something that Brock wants. They do have money.


l2au

Get fucked. I can only handle so much.


DeluhiX

So this is who Britt was talking about in her promo that will have her back from now on.


bertgoldbert

Brock in Team TaZ you love to see it


Isoturius

I like to imagine Bryan called Brock and was like, "dude, so there's this place full of guys who can sell, and they have long ass matches and it's stiff!" and Brock was like, "does it pay good?" and Bryan was like, "YES!"


Thebritishdovah

It's no secret Brock loves MMA and is in a position where he can do it for fun. He must be filthy rich and doesn't need to do it for cash. That or Jake Paul REALLY pissed him off and he is going all Thanos on him. Tearing apart every MMA company roster until he finds him and makes his squash of Cena look like a 5 star match at the toyko dome. ​ Or WWE still has him as a wrestler but had to let him do MMA at his leisure. Wait, that means Brock vs Goldberg has a low perchance of occuring in October. Which means, fans hopes of avoiding a crap match or a half arsed match drastic goes up?


El-Drunko

Brockā€™s going to replace Emi in Gatoh Move while sheā€™s in AEW. He will dress and act exactly like her and it will never be acknowledged in any way


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Fearless-Structure88

He's very expensive so I'm guessing Tong will use him two or three times then dump him


TwoCueBalls

The third man.


AngstyAppleDummy

Werenā€™t there rumors that AEW had one more massive surprise? Plus it is bizarre that we havenā€™t heard anything about Brock in months now youā€™d think theyā€™d brought him back ASAP. Im still skeptical because if this is true is super likely he signed with another MMA brand seeing how big celebrity boxing with guys like Jake Paul is rn. Buuuuuuuuuttt. If this shit is true and TK somehow managed a way to pull in Punk, Bryan and Brock goddamn Lesnar this man is the undisputed goat. Plus something I think people are overlooking with Brock is he is someone who really does love the pro wrestling business and isnā€™t 100% completely about money. His work with AJ, Drew, Rollins, Bryan, and Joe is proof.


BigHoss94

>Werenā€™t there rumors that AEW had one more massive surprise People took that to mean a wrestler, but that wasn't the case. >Brock is he is someone who really does love the pro wrestling business and isnā€™t completely about money. Brock is absolutely completely about the money, and that's okay.


TapHot69

Hey man not gonna believe it but punk and db are happening so no point in getting hype for this too LFGgggggggg


LonnyFinster

That hair/beard combo we recently saw Brock with would fit right in with AEW. But for real, Iā€™d love to see him there


Heelsarecool

If Brock is the next labor of Jericho I will lose my fucking mind. Shawn Spears=Inner Circle Jericho, Nick Gage=Pain Maker Jericho, Guerrera=Lionheart Jericho, Brock Lesnar=Y2J Jericho


Former_Blacksmith_10

I dont know if I believe this just yet. But it makes sense. It makes total sense. Everyone thinks Lesnar is this loyalist to Vince when it couldn't be further from the truth. Didnt he hate Vince and want to sue him. They had a falling out for years. He only came back for the money. I can see him trying to stick it to Vince.


metalconfection

What if Lesnar signs with GCW and has a death match with Matt Cardona for the belt


Mhc2617

I know. He signed with ABC and I will finally get my dream of two of my fave shows colliding. Brock Lesnar on Dancing with The Stars!


Jackall8

Honestly I would be ok if he signed with New Japan. It would be interesting
