[WWE] Lesnar Agreement Reached

Archive

WrestlingObserver.com has just broken the second huge news story of the past two days:

Brock Lesnar and WWE have reached a settlement agreement on the non-compete lawsuit.

Lesnar was looking to get out of his non-compete for anything related to sports entertainment as well as ultimate fighting through the year 2010, world wide.

Terms were not announced. Lesnar will be able to participate in wrestling and ultimate fighting with certain agreed upon restrictions, as it was not a full victory to Lesnar. While not stated, it is believed he would not be allowed to work for TNA. Lesnar is said to be considering doing MMA, now that he is legally able.

Brock Lesnar has been competing in New Japan and is the reigning IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. In WWE, Lesnar was a quick-rising star, becoming King of the Ring and Undisputed Champion within months of his 2002 post-Wrestlemania debut on the main roster. We’ll have more on this as it develops.
