Current analysis suggests Brock Lesnar might make his first WWE appearance since SummerSlam 2023 at the upcoming Royal Rumble premium live event. The Beast Incarnate’s potential return could focus on Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker, who replaced him in last year’s Royal Rumble match.
Storyline progression hints at a potential confrontation between both competitors, as Breakker continues to establish himself on the main roster under Triple H’s direction.
The 27-year-old champion recently defended his title against Sheamus at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
During a recent episode of 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff raised questions about Lesnar’s potential return to the ring. The former RAW General Manager noted that given Lesnar’s career earnings, he might not have the desire to continue competing.
No way to know man. Brock’s unique. Brock’s got enough money he could live the next three lives … His kids will never be able to spend the money that Brock has made, and beyond the money, Brock has farming. That’s his joy, that’s his passion, that’s where Brock is at peace based on what I’ve heard. I don’t know Brock that well, and man I don’t know he doesn’t need to so it’s a question of does he want to, and at some point you just don’t want to anymore. What’s Brock gonna do that he hasn’t done a dozen times in the last dozen years?
Following his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023, Lesnar broke character by raising Rhodes’s hand in the ring, a gesture many interpreted as a symbolic passing of the torch.
