BROCK LESNAR’s return to the UFC to fight Jon Jones appears to be on hold.
Before his triumphant match at SummerSlam, his advocate Paul Heyman said that his client would “say goodbye” to WWE if he lost.
The Beast Incarnate was thrown through two announcement tables and had one tipped over his head before storming back to defeat Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns.
Reports state that his UFC ban from USADA is up in December, leading to many suggestions that he would be leaving the WWE to return to the Octagon.
But with the victory at SummerSlam, and with his WWE reportedly contract not expiring until 2018, it won’t be until next summer at the very earliest that Lesnar, 40, could have another fight in the UFC.
In the SummerSlam main event, it started with Lesnar being SPEARED by Roman Reigns through the barrier.
This then gave Strowman the chance to dismantle Lesnar, as he cleared an announcement table before slamming the champion through the table.
The Monster Among Men then threw an office chair at Joe and Reigns before Powerslamming Lesnar through ANOTHER table!

And as if that wasn’t enough, he then flipped the third table over a helpless Lesnar, as officials and medics rushed to the scene to help the latter.
Lesnar’s advocat Heyman was begging for Strowman to stop before his client was wheeled away by medics.
Strowman’s rampage did not stop there. He picked up a steel staircase to attack Reigns and Joe.
But Reigns then countered and it took three shots with the staircase to knock Strowman out of the ring and onto the floor.
Although as Joe and Reigns battled, Strowman returned to do a double choke slam on the pair.
However, the defending champ Lesnar incredibly stormed back to the ring and speared Strowman.
A flurry of Superman punches from Reigns interrupted the Beast Incarnate’s flow.
But the latter won by plucking Reigns up from an attempted spear to F5 him to win by pinfall to retain his title.
Commentator Corey Graves was quick to mention while Lesnar left the ring from the punishing contest: “Will he ever be himself again after this?”
