How many matches has Brock Lesnar agreed to as part of his new WWE deal?

According to Dave Melzter, Lesnar has agreed to wrestle around 8-12 matches as part of his deal. Speaking on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, he noted that Lesnar would also be doing one or two Television appearances before his matches.

“He’s back for a number of dates. I’ve heard 8 to 12 is the number of dates he’s back for 8 and 12 between from now until the end of the contract. I think that’s matches. I don’t think that includes TV dates. I’m sure he’s doing 1-2 TV’s before each match. Certainly the go-home shows before every match I’m sure he’s on.”

According to Fightful, Lesnar has signed on for roughly a year and a half, and his new contract will expire in the first half of 2023. They also state that Lesnar is expected to fight at least 8 matches although they do add that “that is always available to change and negotiate further.”

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
