So does that mean Lesnar’s rumored UFC return is imminent?
Brock Lesnar’s Octagon return has been long-anticipated when he shoved Daniel Cormier after ‘DC’ beats Stipe Miocic at July’s UFC 226.
Cormier had attended WrestleMania on many occasions in the past and has long been a fan of pro-wrestling. ‘DC’ expressed his interest to have a dream fight against Lesnar before hanging up his gloves for good. Even most recently UFC head honcho Dana White also said ‘I owe Cormier Lesnar’s fight.’
Even Lesnar’s manager Paul Heyman said during the event that Lesnar is “getting on a jet to Las Vegas, where my client is ultimately appreciated.”
Heyman: We're getting our business done. And we're getting on a jet to Las Vegas, where my client is ultimately appreciated. So let's get this nonsense over with. We're doing it right here, right now.#WrestleMania

Brock Lesnar loses the WWE Universal title at #WresteMania35 – does that clear the way for his return to the UFC to face Daniel Cormier?
We will probably know more soon but this definitely gives Lesnar a clearer path to another fight in the UFC.

Lesnar tried another F5 on Rollins to finish up the match but it backfired. Rollins smashes Lesnar with a low blow:

If Lesnar’s for sure returning to UFC he’s to go throw USADA to clear his whereabouts.
