The latest episode of WWE RAW saw multiple references to Brock Lesnar, a former Universal Champion. These references led fans to speculate whether WWE plans to bring The Beast Incarnate back on screens.
Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE since August 2023. His last match took place at SummerSlam against Cody Rhodes. Following WrestleMania 39, Lesnar shockingly attacked Rhodes on WWE RAW, igniting a heated rivalry between the two stars.
This led to Lesnar and Rhodes having a heated rivalry, facing each other three times. Ultimately, it was Rhodes who secured the last win against Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam, concluding the rivalry with Rhodes having two wins and Lesnar one win. After the match, Lesnar broke character and raised Rhodes’ hand.
Earlier this year, WWE planned for Lesnar to return in the men’s Royal Rumble, where he was set to feud with Dominik Mysterio and Gunther. However, those plans fell through due to his alleged involvement in the Vince McMahon lawsuit.
Since then, WWE has remained quiet regarding Lesnar’s status while waiting for the legal issues to be resolved. In a surprising twist, the October 14 episode of WWE RAW saw Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins referencing Lesnar, which caused him to trend on social media. Following these references and speculation about his return, recent reports have provided a significant update on Lesnar’s potential comeback.
