As WWE gears up for the highly anticipated Royal Rumble 2024, rumors swirl about the return of several major superstars, including the possibility of Brock Lesnar making a comeback. In a recent report from veteran Dave Meltzer, there’s a notable update suggesting that Lesnar’s return to WWE television might be on the horizon.
The Beast Incarnate’s last appearance in the WWE ring was at SummerSlam 2023, where he faced defeat in a singles match against Cody Rhodes. Since that encounter, fans have eagerly awaited Lesnar’s return, and according to Dave Meltzer, it could be imminent. The report simply states, “Brock Lesnar may return to WWE television soon.”
Reflecting on the unexpected moment at WWE SummerSlam 2023 when Lesnar shook hands with Cody Rhodes after their match, Rhodes shared insights in an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. Rhodes revealed that he had no prior knowledge of Lesnar’s intention to extend a handshake.
“When Brock Lesnar started removing his gloves, I sensed a confrontational mood. As we faced each other, it felt like a brawl was imminent. I didn’t anticipate him shaking my hand. Witnessing him do so felt gratifying; he doesn’t do that often. This journey has been surprising. Inheritance isn’t given; it must be earned,” shared the American Nightmare during the interview.
