The potential move of Brock Lesnar back to the UFC is on the cards and that could be the reason for him to lose the universal title in the fatal 4 way contest at WWE Summerslam.

Bengaluru, August 9: Brock Lesnar is all set to feature in his next PPV match at Summerslam. This will mark his fourth consecutive main event at the biggest event of the summer. He will have to deal with not one but three opponents at the same time on that night.

As we all know, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and Samoa Joe will compete alongside the champion in a fatal-4-way match for the Universal Championship. It is going to be a no disqualification affair where the title-holder will not have any sorts of advantage.

Rather, he does not have to be pinned or submitted to lose his title. As expected, the attorney, Paul Heyman declared his frustrations at the match. Furthermore, he also informed us that if Brock Lesnar loses the match, he will quit WWE.

Going by records, the beast is undefeated at Summerslam till date ever since his return in 2012. But, this year, the tradition is likely to change. According to the reports of cagesideseats.com, the conqueror will lose his title to anyone of his three opponents on August 20th.

The reason behind this match getting contested under fatal-4-way rules is to protect Brock Lesnar so that he can't be pinned or submitted. So, technically, nobody will be able to beat him but at the same time, he will be forced to drop the title.

This does not mean that he will leave WWE after that night since he is already being advertised for the No Mercy PPV. Rather, losing the title means he will have some free schedule during the fall which might allow him to go back to UFC for a one-off match.

As we all know, the UFC lightweight champion, Jon Jones has called out Lesnar for a fight. Eventually, WWE.com had teased a match between these two in the future by posting the below mentioned,

"With Lesnar focused on his upcoming Universal Championship defense against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe in a Fatal 4-Way Match at SummerSlam, does he have the time to seriously ponder a showdown with Jones? And, if so, could we perhaps see "Bones" enter a WWE ring to make this dream match a reality?"

It will be interesting to see whether the beast incarnate will be allowed to compete at the MMA promotion as he is currently serving a one year ban from USADA which does not permit him to compete inside the octagon.
