Adam Pearce to be forced to bring back 47-year-old WWE legend to RAW on Netflix’s orders? Chances explored

WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce will be in charge of the brand’s new journey on Netflix. While switching from cable to a streaming platform removes several restrictions from the creative approach, it also gives Netflix much negotiating power. Moreover, there’s a possibility that the streaming giant could force Pearceto bring Brock Lesnar back on the red brand.

The Beast Incarnate was last seen in WWE at the 2023 SummerSlam, where he lost to Cody Rhodes, ending a very heated feud. Right now, Lesnar isn’t part of any ongoing storylines in the Stamford-based promotion after he was seemingly alluded to in the lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon by Janel Grant. However, to boost its viewership and ratings, Netflix could demand that the company bring Brock Lesnar back.

This would put pressure on Adam Pearce, who is already dealing with several unruly superstars on RAW. Moreover, the General Manager already has a history with the 47-year-old wrestler, who had F5ed him after receiving an indefinite suspension.

Interestingly, Triple H said in an interview a few months ago that WWE is open to working with Brock Lesnar. He also noted that The Beast Incarnate was at home and could return whenever he wanted to. While this scenario is very possible, all of this is speculation so far.

Adam Pearce can book Brock Lesnar with two reigning WWE champions

Brock Lesnar is a highly versatile and explosive wrestler who has been used by the company to decimate other superstars and put them over. While he put an end to Kofi Kingston’s WWE Championship run in just a few seconds, he also helped elevate Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

If Brock Lesnar returns, Adam Pearce can pit him against the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther. The Ring General is already looking to be a better wrestler after his loss to The American Nightmare at Crown Jewel. Thus, The Beast Incarnate could be the perfect candidate for him to assert his dominance further.

Adam Pearce also has the Intercontinental Champion, Bron Breakker, who could face Brock Lesnar. The 27-year-old always complains that Pearce never gives him opponents worthy of his caliber. Thus, The Beast Incarnate would be a big test for The Dog. Especially when the former Universal Champion has already defeated Breakker within seconds, just like Kofi Kingston.

Additionally, the two-time IC Champion was also the man who replaced the Paul Heyman guy in the 2024 Royal Rumble. Hence, The Beast Incarnate already has a score to settle with Breakker. It would be interesting to see if and when Adam Pearce brings Lesnar back to RAW.
