Brock had a no-compete clause in his contract that kept him from signing with any other wrestling/fighting organization until January of 2010. Lesnar filed a lawsuit against the WWE to try and get out of the contract. The suit was eventually settled.
Lesnar met up with Vince sometime last year to negotiate a return...but nothing came of it.
A big problem with Brock Lesnar is a lot of the Superstars in the back said he had a huge ego once he became champ. They said he wasn't easy to get along with. I'm sure that factored into his not being re-hired by the WWE.
