Brock Lesnar's Career Arc Makes Him More Likely to Move on from WWE

Panic buttons in Stamford, Connecticut, were set ablaze as Brock Lesnar appeared cageside at UFC 184.

Following reports earlier this week that Lesnar had walked out on a scheduled Raw appearance, per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, via WrestlingInc.com, a possible contract renewal seems unlikely. If Lesnar opts to return to UFC and resume a once-promising mixed martial arts career, it will be par for the course.

Throughout his professional career, Lesnar earned the moniker of The Beast—and he is. He's a beast. A monster. A vanilla gorilla. Not of this world. Inhuman.

These handles are typically used in awe of his physical presence, but they're just as applicable to Lesnar emotionally. Lesnar never stayed with one professional organization for more than four years, and he rarely goes quietly into the night. He caused a fight in training camp during his brief tenure with the NFL in 2004. According to The Associated Press, via ESPN.com, Lesnar sued WWE in 2006.

Like iconic monsters Godzilla and King Kong, he travels from place to place. Whether it's the WWE, the NFL, New Japan Pro Wrestling or the UFC, he makes headlines, causes a stir, dominates more times than not and leaves.

Brock Lesnar—Traveling Monster

Organization	Year of Debut	Year of Departure	Accomplishments
WWE	2000 (in OVW)	2004 (returned in 2012)	Four-time WWE Champion/WWE World Heavyweight Champion
NFL	2004	2004	N/A (Cut during preseason)
New Japan Pro Wrestling	2005	2007	IWGP Heavyweight Champion
UFC	2008	2011	UFC Heavyweight Champion

If things continue down this path, Lesnar's latest stint with WWE will end just as controversially as his last one. He is loyal to nobody. No beast is.

Lesnar's career arc is like a live-action version of the video game Rampage. Brock smashes, Brock destroys, Brock wins, and then Brock bolts, leaving millions in box-office revenue in his wake.

Regardless of whether he stays or goes, Lesnar is worth every penny. Every headache, clash with management and contract minutiae results in the (temporary) services of one of the biggest pay-per-view draws ever.

Lesnar could have been the greatest WWE Superstar of all time had he spent the last 10 years main eventing WrestleMania. Despite leaving, he's still somewhere in the conversation. Lesnar reportedly walking out on Raw in the heat of contract talks is so fitting it should be a storyline.

Lesnar's monstrous mystique is compromised by human traits such as having lawyers and negotiating with upper management. Frankenstein never had a lawyer, and neither should Lesnar. The only beastly response to talks of finances and contracted appearances is to storm off and show up somewhere else days later.

A recent report by F4WOnline, per WrestlingInc.com, notes some officials approached Vince McMahon about coming up with a backup plan for WrestleMania 31 should Lesnar no-show.

WWE knows what it got itself into by signing Lesnar. WrestleMania main event or not, Lesnar is a beast for better or worse.
