Spike Says Bellator is Going After Brock Lesnar

With WrestleMania quickly approaching, many are curious as to whether Brock Lesnar’s bout with Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will be his last in the squared-circle. And as his contract is set to expire just after the big event, many are continuing to toss their hat into the pile for his services.

Back in December, new Bellator boss Scott Coker seemingly hinted the MMA organization would be going after Lesnar upon him leaving WWE. In a new interview, Spike President Kevin Kay has confirmed Coker has spoken with Lesnar.

Talking with MMAFighting.com, Kay had the following:

“He has the relationships to talk to everybody,” Kay said. “He’s with Fedor. He’s talking to Brock, he’s talking to Gina. These are people he’s known for years, so we are in a better position to potentially land those people.”

WWE released a statement in December as well shooting down reports of pulling Lesnar merchandise since he was allegedly on his way out. It is unknown at this time publicly if it would be a breach of contract if Lesnar was having talks with another organization while still tied to WWE.

Lesnar is expected to appear on the live “Smackdown” broadcast Thursday night to further build his upcoming program with Reigns.

Things could get ugly here. Tampering is never good, so hopefully it doesn’t come to that.
