Brock Lesnar is slated to make his return to WWE television soon.
Lesnar’s absence
Lesnar hasn’t been seen on WWE television since losing to Cody Rhodes at WWE SummerSlam. For months, he has been expected to return this month for the build to the Royal Rumble.
It’s likely that he will be working the Men’s Royal Rumble match. Stars who have declared for the match already include Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER.
He’s returning
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Lesnar is returning soon.
Bryan Alvarez: “Brock Lesnar will be returning, I guess, any time.”
Dave Meltzer: “At any time. Yes, maybe. Maybe next week. I would think that this would not be the week to have Brock Lesnar return, given that this might be one of the lower-rated shows, considering they went against the football game and the Emmy Awards. So, if he’s going to return for the Rumble next week would be the week. If he’s going to return shortly after, then it could be a couple of weeks later, but he’s going to be back. It’ll be interesting to see who he’s back….I mean, I would presume he’s in the Rumble, and I would presume that whatever angle he’s going to do will be shot in the Rumble itself.”
