Brock Lesnar was referred to in two instances on the latest episode of WWE Raw. During the segment featuring Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, his name was indirectly taken. The fans pointed it out and felt Brock's return was around the corner. Many claimed he could be back in a big PLE like either the Survivor Series 2024 or the Royal Rumble 2025.
Seth Rollins was the first to address his name. When Adam Pearce had put forth the risk of getting injured during the match against Bronson Reed, he claimed to be ready for such challenges. Seth said he was someone who defeated kings and beasts in the past. He referred to Brock as the Beast.
Cody Rhodes had a segment with Gunther ahead of their match at Crown Jewel. The American Nightmare replied to Gunther's statement where he claimed Rhodes to be a secondary champion to him. Cody claimed that he had beaten a 'Frightening Beast' and ended the reign of the most dominant champion in the history of the company.
Brock Lesnar's absence in WWE
Cody referred to Brock and Roman Reigns in the promo. The fact that the Beast's name was referred to twice on the same night meant the fans could not help anticipate his return. Many claimed the star wrestler could return at the Survivor Series 2024.
Some felt Brock Lesnar could return at the Men's Royal Rumble 2025 as one of the competitors. The 8-time world champion has been out of action for over 14 months. His last appearance was against Cody at SummerSlam 2023. Since then, he has not shown up due to the potential involvement in the lawsuit of Janel Grant.
When asked about Brock's return to action in one of the interviews, Hunter claimed that Brock has been free to return whenever he wanted. Since then, there has been an anticipation among the fans regarding Brock's return. The latest tease might be a sign of him returning soon. It will be interesting to see whether he returns as a heel or as a face.
