Brock Lesnar in WWE '12
After SEVEN YEARS apart, UFC pain machine Brock Lesnar is getting back into business with the company that put him on the map -- WWE -- in a deal that will make him the "featured star" in a brand new video game.
Multiple sources confirm ...the people developing "WWE: 12" approached Brock back in January and asked for permission to use his name and likeness in the game and the advertising campaign.
We're told Brock loved the idea -- but wouldn't sign off unless his current boss, UFC honcho Dana White, gave his blessing. Fortunately, it worked out.
TMZ spoke with White, who told us, "I love WWE and I have nothing but love for Vince McMahon -- I'm totally OK with Brock being in the game."
We're told the first commercial for the game -- starring Brock -- will be released tomorrow.

"Solidarity Rally" to be Held Before Raw Supershow
In the wake of news that WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H has vowed to absolutely not step down from running Monday night’s Raw Supershow, Christian has spearheaded an effort by various Superstars, Divas, referees, announcers and crew members to travel to Oklahoma City and stage a “Solidarity Rally” in the backstage parking lot of the Chesapeake Energy Arena prior to the show. The contingent, which consists of those who walked out on Triple H this past Monday night, have asserted that they will not return to the Raw Supershow or step into the building to perform until Triple H relinquishes control of the show.
Not every Superstar, however, harbors such grievances. As was stated by Triple H in a WWE.com Exclusive, Superstars John Cena, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show will headline Monday’s Raw Supershow.
