Brock Lesnar, the former multi-time WWE World Champion, has been absent from WWE television since his SummerSlam 2023 showdown against Cody Rhodes. Lesnar has not been seen on WWE TV since he was allegedly referenced in Vince McMahon’s lawsuit. He was last seen challenging for a championship in WWE at the SummerSlam Premium Live Event in 2022, where he lost to Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing Match.
Lesnar was recently spotted in a public appearance with a new look, wearing glasses while attending his son’s hockey game. Despite his absence from WWE, Lesnar remains a significant figure in the professional wrestling industry, having established himself as one of the top names in the business. Lesnar has consistently changed his on-screen character, keeping himself relevant even when not in a title picture.
Matt Riddle, a former UFC fighter and WWE Superstar, recently opened up about working with Lesnar. Riddle claimed that Lesnar wasn’t the “coolest dude” to work with, citing an incident during the Elimination Chamber match in 2022. However, Riddle clarified that he has nothing ill to say about Lesnar.
Lesnar was recently name-dropped by Kevin Owens on SmackDown, indicating a potential return to WWE in the future. Lesnar’s absence from WWE has left fans wondering about his future in the company, but his new public appearance suggests that he is doing well outside of the ring. It remains to be seen when Lesnar will return to WWE and what he will bring to the table when he does.
