Brock Lesnar will be returning to the WWE Universe soon. He has been absent since his defeat to Cody Rhodes at the WWE Summer Slam 2023. Fans have eagerly been awaiting his return for several months now, and there are speculations that he will be participating in the build-up to the Royal Rumble 2024 event this month.
Recent reports suggest that Brock Lesnar, also known as The Beast Incarnate, will participate in the upcoming WWE Men’s Royal Rumble match. He will compete against other WWE superstars like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley, Jey Uso, and Drew McIntyre. A rumor is also circulating that Lesnar will face Gunther in a match at WrestleMania 40.
Is Brock Lesnar returning to the WWE?
Brock Lesnar hasn’t made an appearance on WWE television since his match against Cody Rhodes at the SummerSlam 2023 premium live event. However, it appears that his absence might be coming to an end soon. During the last Summer Slam, Rhodes scored a significant victory over Lesnar and delivered an impressive performance. Following the match, Lesnar celebrated with Rhodes, giving him a strong endorsement.
Reports suggest that Brock Lesnar may return to WWE this year. Furthermore, a WrestleMania 40 commercial featuring him was recently spotted on a production truck. With the Royal Rumble scheduled for January 27th, Brock Lesnar might appear on the next episode of Monday Night Raw.
PW Insider Dave Meltzer of “Wrestling Observer Radio” recently stated that this week may not be the most suitable time for Lesnar to make his WWE return. Meltzer explained that the competition from football games and the Emmy Awards could have an impact on the ratings. He also speculated that Lesnar’s return might be more appropriate for the following week, when the competition would be less intense. Meltzer also assumed that Lesnar’s appearance at the Royal Rumble 2024 and any storyline involving him would be shot during the event.
“Maybe next week. I would think this would not be the week to have Brock Lesnar return, given this might be one of the lower-rated shows considering they went against the football games and the Emmy Awards. If he’s going to return for the Rumble, next week would be the week. If he is going to return after, it could be a couple of weeks later. I would presume he’s in the Rumble, and I presume any angle he’s going to take would be shot in the Rumble itself.” Dave Meltzer said.
