With Brock Lesnar potentially failing a drug test in the UFC, will the WWE suspend him?

The MMA world was put on notice on Friday evening, when a report came out that the UFC had been notified of Brock Lesnar potentially violating anti-doping regulations from the USADA.

This has led to plenty of speculation of what Lesnar is being flagged for and what he may have or may not have done. Regardless, it will be interesting to follow as more details come out, but it raises a few immediate questions.

If Lesnar is indeed in violation and potentially failed a drug test, then he will receive some form of suspension from the UFC.

However, that also will lead to questions of whether or not he should be suspended by the WWE, who also have a strict wellness policy. They just recently suspended superstar Roman Reigns for violation of a drug test.

Lesnar is set to headline WWE Summerslam against Randy Orton and after his huge win against Mark Hunt at UFC 200, the match became one of the most anticipated battles in quite some time.

It will be interesting to see how the WWE responds to this potential violation and whether or not they feel need to take action against Lesnar as well if he did indeed violate ant-doping regulations.

While they are not compelled to do so, it puts them in a bind if it is true. Hopefully updates come out soon and paint a clearer picture of what exactly happened.
