Matt Hardy believes it would take a huge financial offer to lure Brock Lesnar to AEW.
Lesnar remains one of the biggest box office draws in the wrestling world, but is now expected to take a break after picking up an injury during a critically acclaimed bout with Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam earlier this month.
Lesnar has remained loyal to WWE in recent years after returning from a successful stint in UFC, a relationship that looks set to continue but Hardy has been musing about what a switch to AEW may look like for Lesnar.
Speaking on a recent edition of his podcast The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy, the former ECW Champion revealed that he thought it would take a huge financial offer for Tony Khan to be able to lure the legendary Superstar to AEW:
“I would say — the gimmick that The Butcher and The Blade put on TV, they say that they’re hitmen and guys who go out, whoever is willing to pay the biggest bucks, they’ll go work for that guy and take out the competition. That’s what Brock is. Brock knows his value, he knows his worth, so I guess Tony Khan would have to shell out the big bucks.
I would guess that Brock feels a bit of an allegiance to Vince, I feel like he feels faithful to Vince because he feel like Vince has taken pretty good care of him. I could see him being a WWE lifer, but if Tony was going to somehow procure Brock, he would just have to shell out the big bucks.”
What Has Brock Lesnar Been Since SummerSlam?
‘The Beast Incarnate’ was spotted recently making his first post-SummerSlam appearance at a country music concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but despite the injury picked up at the Premium Live Event in Detriot he is believed to be happy with his current role in WWE.
