Reports are circulating around the wrestling rumor mill that the situation between Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon has not been resolved as of this weekend. Lesnar is not backstage at Raw in Newark, however he was not advertised for the show to begin with.
It was previously noted that Lesnar attended the UFC 184 event over the weekend in Los Angeles, and sat ringside with UFC President Dana White. Speculation has already begun over what this means for Lesnar and the WWE after WrestleMania 31. One of the things discussed between Lesnar and McMahon was him working for UFC in addition to working for WWE. McMahon allegedly did not have a concern with Lesnar wanting to fight for UFC while under contract with WWE, however McMahon was reportedly strongly against the idea of Lesnar attending a UFC event while under contract with WWE.

UFC Vice President of Public Relations Dave Sholler noted on Twitter that Lesnar was backstage hyping up fighter Tony Ferguson before his fight at 184:
Watched Brock pump Ferguson up backstage. If you recall, Brock coached Tony on TUF. Tony shocked to see him. Then goes out & dominates! Wow!

According to F4WOnline.com, McMahon was not happy when Lesnar did in fact appear at the PPV Saturday night. According to The Wrestling Observer, the argument reportedly got very loud and heated. So much so, that the two were “yelling and screaming” at each other loud enough to the point where people were concerned, primarily for McMahon.
On Tuesday, prior to the Smackdown tapings, officials were asking Vince if a back-up plan was needed for the WrestleMania 31 main event, but Vince assured everyone that would be unnecessary, and Brock would fulfill his contractual obligations. Vince reportedly added the company would sue Lesnar for breach of contract if he didn’t show up at ‘Mania, and officials remain confident in current PPV main event plans.
White was asked by Ariel Helwani if Brock Lesnar is returning to UFC, and White repeated a comment he made earlier in the day at the 187 press event in Las Vegas:
“I don’t know,” White said. “He’s under contract to WWE. When his WWE contract is up, I’m sure he will call me.”
