Brock Lesnar’s WWE Return Uncertain Ahead of Netflix RAW Debut
Brock Lesnar‘s status for WWE RAW’s debut on Netflix remains uncertain, with no confirmed plans for his return. The Beast Incarnate, last seen at SummerSlam 2023, has been absent from WWE programming for over a year, leaving fans speculating about his next move.
Lesnar’s last appearance saw him lose to Cody Rhodes in a high-profile match, after which he shook hands with Rhodes and exited the stage. Despite rumors of a potential return, sources close to the situation indicate that no discussions have taken place to bring Lesnar back to WWE. Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Dr. Chris Featherstone reported that recent archival footage of Lesnar was used solely to commemorate WWE’s history, not to hint at a comeback.
Paul Heyman, Lesnar’s longtime advocate, recently addressed the speculation during an interview. He emphasized Lesnar’s right to privacy, stating, ‘If he is of the desire to ever be in the public eye again, he’ll let you know when the time is right.’ Heyman’s comments suggest that Lesnar’s return hinges entirely on the wrestler’s personal decision.
Lesnar’s absence has left a void in WWE’s programming, particularly as the company prepares for its historic Netflix debut. Fans have speculated about potential storylines, including a possible feud with Roman Reigns or a showdown with John Cena, who recently announced his final year in wrestling. However, no concrete plans have been revealed.
As WWE RAW transitions to Netflix, the absence of one of its biggest stars raises questions about the show’s direction. Lesnar’s return could provide a significant boost to viewership, but for now, fans will have to wait and see if The Beast Incarnate decides to step back into the ring.
