The anticipation within the WWE universe for Brock Lesnar’s return has reached a fever pitch following his last bout against Cody Rhodes at WWE SummerSlam, where he experienced an unfortunate defeat. Despite the fervent excitement, Lesnar has been notably absent from WWE television since that match, leaving fans wondering about his future in the wrestling world.
Speculation had been rampant that the formidable “Beast Incarnate” might make a surprise appearance at the Royal Rumble. However, as the event unfolded in St. Petersburg, Lesnar’s absence became increasingly conspicuous, dashing the hopes of many eager fans. Pre-match reports had already hinted at Lesnar’s non-participation in the event.
One prevailing theory circulating in the wrestling community is that Lesnar’s absence could be tied to his alleged involvement in a sex trafficking lawsuit concerning WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. The potential scandalous connection might have dissuaded Lesnar from making any appearances within the WWE landscape. Additionally, reports surfaced suggesting that Bron Breakker was chosen to step into Lesnar’s shoes for the match.
Insider information provided by John Pollock of Post Wrestling unveiled the original plan for Lesnar’s involvement in a program with Dominik Mysterio at the 2024 Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. However, given the uncertainty surrounding Lesnar’s availability, questions loom regarding whether Bron Breakker could be slated to replace him in this storyline with Dominik.
Dave Meltzer, offering further insight during the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, painted a potentially gloomy picture regarding Lesnar’s prolonged absence from WWE. Meltzer indicated that the situation might be more substantial than initially anticipated, hinting at the rarity of using the term “forever” in the dynamic world of professional wrestling. While acknowledging that it is uncommon to assert someone’s absence permanently, especially for a significant draw like Lesnar, Meltzer emphasized the uncertainty surrounding when or if Lesnar would make his return to the squared circle.
“It appears that Brock Lesnar is not going to be around for a while. Some poeple think ever. When it comes to talent, I hate to say forever because most of the time it’s not the case, especially if somebody can draw, they seem to find a way back.”
In light of these developments, the WWE universe is left in suspense, eagerly awaiting any official announcements or potential surprises regarding the enigmatic Brock Lesnar’s future in the world of professional wrestling.
