Brock Lesnar has signed a new, two year deal with WWE that will see Lesnar remain under contract with the company through WrestleMania 31.

Source: PWinsider and various other sites

Be interested to see his schedule over the next two years weather it's full time or rock time

Is that from now and replacing the current deal or an extension I wonder.
IE, will he appear more now in the run up to Mania.

I read in PS that Lesnar won't be back 'til Feb time, if he has signed an extension WWE need to figure out what there doing with him meticulously this time as it's been very hit and miss this year.

Hopefully they'll use him to get over some of the younger guys, stop feuding with Cena and HHH!!!

Fantastic news, obviously he = big guys for big events like we saw against John Cena and HHH as the buy figures spoke for themselves. His match against John Cena was class so hopefully more decent matches preferably against younger talent to follow in the next 2 years.

But hopfully WWE now do something decent with him and don't make a mess like they have done since his epic return back in April last year.

I'm wondering if this news changes the card for Mania, beforehand I presume he'd be used to make someone else look good (which unfortunately looked to be HHH), now perhaps that he's staying it'll be swapped about and he'll look dominant over someone else as they have to make him look strong being he's remaining.

Now he's going to be around for a while I hope he flattens HHH at Wrestlemania
Just simply destroys him. HHH's flame is finally extinguished and he never comes back.

That'll give him a bit of momentum again. Use some of his dates between Wrestlemania through to Summerslam to give him some wins against Cena and Orton who hardly need the rub anymore. Brock can then do his thing until the run up to Wrestlemania 30. But this time around he's used to get over some new-generation talent. And that can be for whoever needs it come 2013. It might be Daniel Bryan, it might be Ryback. Whoever looks potential Main Event give them the rub.

And then Wrestlemania 31 comes along. Give everyone the Undertaker match and then both can sod off for good.

It gives a lot of more scope for matches, and with a longer deal WWE might be a little more eager to put him over. I think they've got to book him and I want to see big matches with him in, I want to see Lesnar/Punk, Lesnar/Rock, Lesnar/Undertaker.

I think we could see Wrestlemania 30 being Lesnar vs Undertaker.

I can't see why to be honest. It's the kind of game you'd like to play on one of the console games but not one actually good to watch.

they'll do what the kids want, not the internet critics.
if they want to see it, why not? vince knew hogan vs warrior would blow so they made it a one off match, but he still gave the 10 year olds what they wanted. i loved it. my dad wanted to slit his wrists.

I'm not sure kids would want to see that, 10 year old kids wouldn't have even been alive when Goldberg was around.

This could be a game changer, I'm happy about this, also, while I understand people saying he should be used to put over the younger talent I definitely don't agree, he has huge name value and legitimises the business in my opinion, he should be used in big feuds with big names, two guys who believe they're bigger and better than each other draws money, draws fans and when that happens everyone else ups their game

true about the goldberg thing. but with brock signed there is a potential for it happening if the youngsters want to see it (without goldberg as ref). personally i find ryback simply awful, and whilst i used to be a fan of brock the wrestler, to me he was never goldberg (who was never sid) and i didn't like the vibe of his actual real-world personality and wouldn't have rushed to resign him. so no, i don't want to see that match. but i could see it happening.

and if it does, ryback should win.

i like all of em except rock vs brock. we've seen it, rock would want his win in return for the 2002 job, and i don't see what purpose it'd serve in 2013. both might still look good, but both are still past their best.

rock and brock should be used for match ups we've not seen before. 2002 will never come back, no point in trying to recreate it.

The Rock vs. Lesnar would be a huge match though, they're considered legends these days rather than the average wrestler so seeing them face off could be very, very good if handled well.

I agree that they should really be used for new matches, although modern day rock v modern day Brock would be very different. However, if they take on current stars then its hard to balance the scale between putting people over and winning matches to carry on their image of strength.

The bonus of Rock vs. Brock is that no one gets buried by a part timer.
