Following the reports of former WWE Superstars CM Punk and Daniel Bryan joining All Elite Wrestling, there were some rumors emerged that The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar also signing with AEW.
This rumors started after someone posted on Wrestling Observer Newsletter message board that a “reliable 20-year source” told them that Brock Lesnar had signed a deal with a wrestling company outside of WWE. And that led to speculation that he might signed with AEW.
On the recent edition of Mat Men Wrestling Podcast, Andrew Zarian clarified that Brock Lesnar didn’t signed with AEW.
“I can tell you right now that Brock Lesnar has not signed with AEW,” said Zarian.” “They have spoken maybe once in passing, nothing serious whatsoever. Everybody that I asked about this they laughed. That’s all I know. I can only tell you what they’ve said to me. I also know that Dave (Meltzer) said that it is not true, Brock has not already signed with AEW.” (H/T: Inside The Ropes)

Andrew Zarian also further reported that Brock Lesnar didn’t signed with WWE too but WWE is still interested to bring him back.
“Brock is not signed with WWE,” said Zarian.” “I know WWE wants him. I have to just say, if I’m WWE, how the hell do you let him go? If this is the case. And it’s not. I’m not saying that it is, it is beyond stupid. A lot of people have said that this is an indicator that WWE are trying to sell. And yes, you try and save as much money as possible when you’re selling. But, you also have to sell at your peak earnings.”
“As much money as you can possibly make, you’ve got to make the company look the best that it possibly can,” he added.” “You’re not going to let all of these top talents go, if you’re selling it. You’d want to stockpile them. A couple of years ago when they were stockpiling talent, I’d say ‘Yeah, maybe they are getting ready for a sale,’ because you want to have the most stacked roster. I don’t believe this story about Brock Lesnar going somewhere.”
