Former Universal Champion Brock Lesnar has been in the headlines for the past few days after the latest edition of WWE RAW. These hints have sparked speculation among fans about whether or not he is on the verge of making his WWE return.
During RAW, Lesnar’s name came up more than once. Cody Rhodes, who last faced Lesnar, mentioned him during a heated exchange with Gunther. Later, Seth Rollins brought up Lesnar again in a backstage conversation with Adam Pearce. Both Rhodes and Rollins highlighted their victories over The Beast, fueling further speculation.
As a result, Lesnar’s name trended widely on social media. Reports soon surfaced that WWE is planning his return, with insiders confirming that discussions about Lesnar’s comeback are underway. Fans are now buzzing with excitement about the possibility of seeing him back in the ring. However, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has provided updates on Lesnar’s return status.
What recent reports reveal about Brock Lesnar’s WWE return
The latest reports from Fightful Select revealed that a high-level WWE source denied any discussions about Brock Lesnar’s return. The source stated, “There are no creative plans in place for Lesnar, and if conversations have occurred, we’ve not been briefed on that.”
The report mentioned that WWE had a rule in place for the past few months to avoid talking about Brock Lesnar in video clips, promos, or commentary unless necessary. A creative team member also shared that they haven’t heard any news about Lesnar for months. They would be surprised if he returned while the investigation on Vince McMahon lawsuit is still happening.
Brock Lesnar was reportedly set to make his return earlier this year. However, he has remained absent from WWE programming, with his name reportedly tied to the lawsuit involving Vince McMahon. With Lesnar’s name being mentioned on RAW, it appears that WWE currently has no plans to bring him back.
