Is Brock Lesnar about to reconquer WWE Monday Night Raw? While ‘The Beast’ hasn’t been on WWE since WrestleMania 36 last year when he lost his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre, Lesnar could be making his way back to WWE television at some point. WWE recently re-added Lesnar to their roster page, under the Raw brand. It has been heavily rumored that Brock Lesnar could potentially return to WWE during their Fastlane pay-per-view event, which is scheduled to take place on March 21, 2021, and will broadcast from the WWE ThunderDome, hosted at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. Recent reports suggest though that Lesnar won’t be at WrestleMania and will return when the pandemic subsided.
However, there is obviously no set-time table for the former WWE Champion to re-debut, if Lesnar will at all. Still, one has to question the timing behind the move – especially since this Brock Lesnar match was pitched for WrestleMania.
In other news revolving Brock Lesnar, Jim ‘JR’ Ross recently discussed Lesnar’s 2004 departure from WWE and how Vince McMahon reacted to the situation. Ross made the remarks during a recent edition of his ‘Grilling JR’ podcast, telling Conrad Thompson the following.
Ross said: “Yeah, no different than you would or me or anybody else. You know, bring in somebody, let’s say you brought in Kurt Angle to be on our team. And he’s done a great job of this podcast every week. And then all of a sudden, he decides he’s bored with it. He’s tired of it.
Ross continued: “And you spent money promoting him, gave him a spot, cleared the booking for the show. And it’s hard to get in our lineup when you fit together in an all-star cast,” explained JR. “But it would be so great if you got your top guys that you perceive to be top earners, they just get tired. And this one burned out!”
Ross concluded: “So you’re burned out sitting down once a week and shooting the shit. Well, I don’t know what to do for that deal,” said Ross. Brock Lesnar threatened to quit WWE after this shocking occurrence.
