After WWE Draft ended, many WWE superstars became free agents, like Brock Lesnar. Lesnar was neither drafted by SmackDown nor Raw. However, this can lead to something better, endless possibilities for Brock. It is rumored that Brock’s free agent decision was indeed last minute.
In an interview with Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated, “I don’t know if it’s one of those things, because he was supposed to be picked on today’s show, and then they announce at the beginning of the show that he’s not eligible to be picked because he’s gonna do whatever he wants“.
However, now Roman Reigns is in SmackDown with both the championships and WWE is going to crown a new world heavyweight champion on RAW, Brock has good opportunities.
Now, either Brock can be a great contender for a new championship or he can end his business with The Bloodline at SmackDown. With Brock Lesnar, there are many other wrestlers who went as free agents and weren’t picked by either of the brands. Some of them are Omos, Mustafa Ali, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, and Shelton Benjamin.
