Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was spotted in public following his hiatus from the promotion. Lesnar, who was last seen back in August of 2023 at WWE SummerSlam, lost to Cody Rhodes.
Since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating Brock Lesnar’s return to the ring. He was scheduled to make his much-anticipated comeback at the WWE Royal Rumble. However, those plans were abruptly scrapped following a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, in which Lesnar was allegedly referenced. Although he was not directly named in the lawsuit, speculation suggests that Lesnar, a significant figure in both UFC and WWE, is the individual referred to in the allegations.
This legal trouble caused WWE to put a hold on all plans involving Lesnar’s return. Amidst this uncertain period, Lesnar has remained absent from television, leading to rumors and speculation about his future with the promotion.
However, recently, a picture of Brock Lesnar watching a hockey game went viral on the internet. While news coverage focused on Brock Lesnar being spotted at the hockey game, it’s worth noting that the photo of Lesnar at the hockey game is from 2023. A Reddit user posted the photo a year ago.
