WrestleMania XXVII in Atlanta, Georgia, he met with Vince McMahon in New York City. It was largely assumed that McMahon would make a proposition for Lesnar to appear at
WrestleMania XXVII. It is said that while their encounter was cordial, nothing changed regarding the former WWE Champion appearing at the annual pay-per-view spectacular.
Of those talked to regarding the matter, no one within WWE believes Lesnar will be allowed to appear at the event.
"I don't think he thought it was as hard as it turned out to be," one company source stated regarding McMahon's attempt to land Lesnar for
WrestleMania XXVII.
It was not the first time McMahon and White have met. White said in a June 2008
