The former WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar has been away from the company for quite some time now and he has been rumored to return at SummerSlam pay-per-view.
It is noted that WWE is planning to make SummerSlam a huge event and a recent report stated that WWE wants to make the biggest party of the summer “this year’s WrestleMania.” To achieve this they need to bring some huge stars back and Lesnar is one of them.

A match between Roman Reigns and John Cena is already in talks for the event and now return of Lesnar is also on the cards.
However, during the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast, Andrew Zarian said that he does not believe that WWE has locked Brock Lesnar down for SummerSlam.
Brock Lesnar contract status
He also said that WWE did have a list of mega names they wanted for SummerSlam, and Brock Lesnar’s name was on that list and he was offered a contract to return for the show. But, apparently Lesnar is not yet signed.
He said:
“WWE had a list of mega names for SummerSlam, Brock was one of those. I don’t know if Brock is a contractual thing where the money wasn’t right to bring him back now as opposed to, I don’t know, Survivor Series is happening and you’re getting closer to Royal Rumble. Because he’s a touring attraction, especially now, I think his stock has gone up, because WWE is going to need all of these guys for all of these shows.”
The Beast is currently the active member on the roster and he is likely to make his awaited return in front of the fans but it will not be at SummerSlam as per the plans as of yet. We will see when the former WWE Champion makes his comeback.
