6. UFC Promoting Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton SummerSlam 2016 Match Tonight At UFC 200?
WWE has been promoting UFC 200 on all their Social Media channels. WWE also announced Brock Lesnar’s SummerSlam 2016 opponent this week, only a few days before his return to the octagon. Word is that there’s a big reason behind it.
It is being reported that since WWE promoted UFC 200, UFC might promote WWE’s upcoming SummerSlam 2016 PPV (possibly with a video), especially the Lesnar vs. Orton match.
This might prove very beneficial for WWE as UFC is expecting to break their all time PPV buyrate record of 1.6 million buys of the UFC 100 PPV (which was headlined by Brock Lesnar by the way).
Below is what UFC President Dana White said about the cross-promotion between WWE & UFC:
“Yeah. The fact that they did this – I wanted to reciprocate, so yes. And they’re doing it too. If you look today, Brock’s weigh-in will be on all social media for WWE. This deal couldn’t have worked out any better.”
5. Kevin Owens Thinks Brock Lesnar Isn’t A Professional Wrestling

Owens said the following to a fan: “Why don’t you take off that Brock Lesnar shirt and get a shirt of somebody who’s actually a professional wrestler?”
