is Brock at UFC 200 considered co-promotion between UFC and WWE?

[McGangsta]

Ok hear me out...

In March of 2015, Ronda Rousey showed up at Wrestlemania unexpectedly and caused a lot of buzz for WWE and drew a lot of attention to the event, and even helped generate some UFC appeal among WWE viewers, despite the fact that Rousey was still under contract with UFC.

Now, Brock Lesnar is suddenly appearing at UFC 200 for 1 time only, and will bring huge buzz to UFC, despite the fact that he is still under contract with WWE.

Do you think Zuffa and WWE negotiated a deal to have Ronda show up at Wrestlemania for 1 night in exchange for a Brock Lesnar return at 200?

if it was a coop or anything I am sure WWE would release something a bit more exciting than :

""Brock Lesnar remains under contract to WWE, however, he has been granted a one-off opportunity to compete at UFC 200," the statement read. "Following this milestone event on July 9, Brock will return to WWE for Summerslam on Sunday, August 21, live on WWE Network."

Not sure on the details, but maybe Brock signed a good contract with WWE?

 

[AceCooch]

Only Brock gets paid

They should do wife swap and let WWE take Ronda. Permanently.

UFC and WWE co-promotion

look for UFC fighters to start showing up to monday night raw

and for Undertaker to make his way to the HW division

With Lesnar still being under contract with WWE and them having the lenience to allow him to take this fight do you think this is some sort of mutual agreement with UFC and WWE that Lesnar can do UFC 200 if they can get Rousey for a wrestling angle in the near future?

Being that she has a history with them, she loves pro wrestling, she is in movies now and historically the Rock has used the WWE platform to reach their fanbase when promoting a movie, maybe Rouseys PR and management want to utilize a similar marketing push hence WWE giving the UFC the use of Lesnar.

Not many people talking about this but this is pretty huge for WWE to allow this to happen given Vince McMahons hatred of the UFC

I'm serious, do you think this was planned in advance? like over a year ago?

One can only hope.

 

[RogerD]

it would be brilliant to see Ronda in a summerslam. squashing some vet diva on her way out. it'd build back up the delusion she's invicible again. She really needs this mentally more than anyone else

 

[1King]

This is a ton of free publicity for WWE. If he loses, it doesn't hurt the bottom line, but if he wins, and goes back to wrestling again, there is some renewed interest for sure.

 

[PlantCaravan]

ronda who?

 

[DIABOLUS]

imagine how pissed Ronda would get at the divas

As emotional as she is, I wonder if she could even fake wrestle. I feel like she would throw punches for real.

 

[Sgt Smith]

She already has WWE level striking. Seems like a perfect fit.
