Brock Lesnar’s last appearance on WWE television was at SummerSlam 2023 when he faced Cody Rhodes. Then he was supposed to make a return at this year’s Royal Rumble, but he stayed out of the ring due to his link with Vince McMahon’s lawsuit controversy. When Hall of Famer ‘The Great Khali’ recently shared an old picture of himself with “The Beast,” that led to theories that Lesnar might be coming back to WWE.
There had been talk of Brock Lesnar’s highly anticipated comeback during the days leading up to WrestleMania XL. Fans have been waiting longer and longer to see Lesnar on WWE television since last SummerSlam, which got badly affected due to his involvement with Vince McMahon’s lawsuit. Because of the controversy, he was blacklisted from WWE products and marketing, including the computer game WWE 2K24, and had no option to return this year.
Now that WrestleMania 41 is being considered for Minnesota—Lesnar’s hometown—there is a hope that he may return, maybe for a farewell bout. A lot of rumors are going around, and former WWE champion Great Khali’s mysterious Instagram post with Lesnar from their trip to Dubai for the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018 has further strengthened them as well. Without a caption, Khali’s post left fans wondering what it means.
Following the 40th edition of WrestleMania, fans eagerly anticipated Brock Lesnar’s return to the ring after Triple H’s comment which gave them hope that the WWE CCO could plan a huge comeback for the Beast Incarnate.

In the press conference, he said, “At one point, there was a conversation with Brock about Royal Rumble quite a long time ago. Right now, Brock is home being Brock.
