Daniel Bryan recently spoke about his ideal situation for WrestleMania and more. Here are the highlights…

On Sting vs. Triple H: “I think he’d do very well. But it will be interesting because there’s a lot of pressure in WWE. And he’s older now. Let’s see how he handles that kind of pressure, whether it is a WrestleMania match or doing something at the Royal Rumble. It has been a long time since he’s performed in front of a crowd that big.”

On Paul Heyman: “Paul Heyman’s been an incredible performer for years and he’s been able to change and evolve with the way the business has evolved. To me, I feel like he’s very ahead of the curve. If you talk to Paul Heyman, he’s like a wrestling genius. He understands the fan base, he knows what people want. He’s an amazing performer.”

On Brock Lesnar: “Literally, my ideal scenario for Sunday would be I win the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar wins his WWE World Heavyweight championship match, and then we wrestle in the main event of WrestleMania. That’s what I hope happens. It’ll be interesting to see what actually does happen.”

UFC officials are considering options for opponents should Brock Lesnar to jump back to the promotion. Dana White has been clear that he has had no talks about Lesnar coming back but would be willing to do so once his deal with WWE expires.

The show says UFC officials have talked about Frank Mir as a potential opponent for Lesnar. Lesnar and Mir have faced off twice before and split their matches, with Mir beating Lesnar at UFC 81, which was Lesnar’s UFC debut. Lesnar then defeated Mir at UFC 100 in his first defense of the UFC heavyweight title.

Lesnar’s WWE deal expires in March and there is still no word as to whether he will re-sign. Bellator has also expressed interest in singing Lesnar if he becomes a free agent.

Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry, here are the highlights…

On Brock Lesnar and this Sunday’s Royal Rumble PPV: “After all this speculation wouldn’t it be interesting if Lesnar retains Sunday in Philly and then headlines WM31 against either Bryan or Reigns? Lots of balls in the air it seems which kee many fans like me on our toes trying to figure out what’s going on. I’ve found that it’s much easier to simply not over think these matters and just enjoy the events as they happen and then evaluate what one has seen.”

On the “Road to WrestleMania”: “The Rumble has the potential to really jump start the Road to WrestleMania and I’m anxious to enjoy it on the WWE Network. This is a great opportunity for WWE to get people talking about the Royal Rumble which in turn helps promote WM31.”

On Alberto El Patron’s Lucha Underground debut: “Saw Where Alberto El Patron made his debut on Lucha Underground which seems to be a good ‘get’ for the fledging promotion.”

Backstage Report - WWE Unable To Surpass UFC’s Offer To Brock Lesnar?, Details Inside

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Here is a new report on what is next for Brock Lesnar post-WrestleMania 31. Currently, Lesnar’s WWE deal is set to end the night after WrestleMania 31.

According to a source, Lesnar’s status with re-signing with WWE is up in the air. However, there have been rumors for months that Lesnar might try to make a return to MMA and go for another run in the UFC. Even Bellator MMA, which is backed by Viacom, has expressed interest in pursuing Lesnar. The report states that there is a backstage belief in WWE that UFC could have the best shot at signing Lesnar to a deal.

WWE apparently is not in a position to offer Lesnar as lucrative of a deal as he has had for the last several years in the company since he returned in 2012. The report also notes that Lesnar could be using a potential UFC deal as a negotiating tactic to get a bigger offer from WWE again.

Jim Ross Writes A Blog On Sting At Survivor Series PPV Rumors, Brock Lesnar's UFC Return & More

Ross jim3e Birthdate: 01/03/1952 (age 62) Height: 5'10" Weight: 250 Ib Jim Ross is an American professional wrestling ...

The following are highlights of the latest blog by WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross:

On Sting possibly appearing at Survivor Series: "My Twitter timeline lit up Friday night with the conveniently, timed info/rumor that Sting would make a 'surprise' appearance at Sunday's WWE Survivor Series. I have no idea it that's true or not and I'd have preferred if the info, true or not, would not have leaked out. I'm not a major fan of the "Jardine's" aka spoilers. I'm a Sting fan from back in the day and believe that if his first and perhaps only match in WWE is at WrestleMania 31. The man has earned a WrestleMania Moment without question."

Also read: ?**SPOILER** Update - 3 Names Possible For The WWE Survivor Series Psy-Per-View

On his prediction for the Survivor Series main event outcome: "If forced to make a prediction, I'd go with Team Cena winning the Survivor Series main event Sunday in St. Louis which provides WWE the opportunity to truly set the reset button and create some new scenarios that are due with the build to WM31 beginning to commence. If so, Im curious to see how HHH and Steph are repositioned as WWE needs star power and they provide that more than many of the talents."

On rumors of a Brock Lesnar return to UFC: "My thoughts on the possibility of Brock Lesnar returning to the UFC have seemingly resonated among some. Lesnar is a true jock....not an entertainer....and in the UFC he can be involved in a main steam sport of which he covets while still making big money for working few times a year. I think the amazingly gifted athlete longs for the competition and to see what's left in the tank after his battles with diverticulitis. Perhaps with the additional TV dates that Lesnar has agreed to is for him to lose the WWE Title on Monday Night RAW where the most fans would see it. Who knows?"

As I noted earlier, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is not currently scheduled for any events for the remainder of 2014. It should be noted that Lesnar's appearance were scheduled months in advance. Lesnar has competed in four pay-per-views this year, which is the most pay-per-views he's competed in a calendar ever since he made his return in May in 2012..

It's possible that Lesnar may work the Royal Rumble pay-per-view next January, but with no storyline for him at the moment as well as his pricey contract, that remains to be seen.

As you may recall, WWE’s contract with Brock Lesnar allows them to use him on a per-need basis if they have any plans for him as WWE World champion, with WWE paying him additional amounts for those dates based on his contract. As WZ reports, there are currently no advertised dates through the end of the year which may well indicate that there are no plans to use him until the Royal Rumble.

While it’s not uncommon for most stars not to be booked until fairly close to the dates they’ll be used, WWE has used always advertised Lesnar weeks and even months in advance which could well be a sign that he’s not going to be used.

News On Brock Lesnar's Return On Monday's RAW Broadcast + Bray Wyatt's Injury At MSG

-- Another source has confirmed that Brock Lesnar is expected to return at Monday's RAW from Miami, FL. As previously reported, this is the same city/arena that Lesnar turned and took out John Cena. Monday's show is the "official" kick-off to WWE SummerSlam and is expected to begin the feud between Cena and Lesnar. Of course, they could also do a Reigns/Lesnar feud as Cena isn't expected to be at RAW. Rapper Flo Rida will also be appearing live.

-- 98.7 The Fan in Tampa, Florida recently interviewed WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt, who discussed receiving a stiff shot from Ric Flair during the recent WWE house show in Madison Square Garden. Below is an excerpt from the interview where Wyatt discusses getting busted open by Flair. The full audio is available at the above link.

Jim Ross Blogs On TNA Improving & Brock Lesnar Returning At Summerslam

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated his blog and he talked about TNA improving and Brock Lesnar returning at Summerslam:

On Impact improving: TNA Impact was a much better TV show this past Thursday night on Spike but many of the in ring talking segments could have been just as successful and impactful if they had been shorter. Why pro wrestling companies feel that succinct, soundbytes and cutting to the chase are out of style is beyond me. Plus, having a talent like MVP in MULTIPLE segments only waters down the talent. Overexposure used to be a viable concern of all bookers and upper mgmt types, IE Andre, Bruno, JYD, etc, on weekly TV shows, but it doesn't seem as if it is any longer which is fundamentally wrong.

Also read: ?Jim Ross Q&A - CM Punk/WWE Issues, Retirement, Alicia Fox, More

On Brock Lesnar headlining Summerslam: I'd book Lesnar to headline Summer Slam in Los Angeles and build the card around him. Yes, I'm prepared for the onset of knee jerkers who will say that Brock is part time and that part time talents are efficient. I don't concur and think that overexposure is running rampant in the wrestling biz and Lesnar certainly isn't over exposed. The WWE World Champion doesn't need to be on every TV or at every live event. That concept is antiquated. 

If some fans feel that this may be too predicable, then perhaps some are over thinking a pro wrestling storyline that makes sense. Making sense when executing a story line is much more important than doing the unpredictably stupid moves to just 'surprise' he audience. Don't get me wrong, I love a good pro wrestling surprise as much as the next fan but NOT at the expense of doing the right thing.
