The WWE Universe buzzes with whispers about Brock Lesnar’s future. Originally slated for a triumphant return at the Royal Rumble, sparking feuds with Dominik Mysterio and Gunther, The Beast Incarnate now seems lost in the shadows, erased from planned narratives due to recent allegations.
This leaves a gaping hole in the WrestleMania 40 card, particularly his dream match against the Intercontinental Champion, Gunther.
Enter Chad Gable, WWE’s “underrated star.” Recent live events have seen him clashing with Gunther for the IC title, even pushing the champion to a surprising no-contest in their latest encounter.
Their history of heated rivalry and Gable’s personal vendetta against Gunther, fueled by the champion’s past taunts, make him a compelling potential replacement for Lesnar.
But could Gable realistically step into the Beast’s boots? Their styles differ greatly – Lesnar, a force of nature, and Gable, a technical marvel. Can Gable match Gunther’s raw power and dominance in the ring? The no-contest ending leaves more questions than answers.
I don’t know if we’ll see Brock again if that’s ever going to happen.

Gunther, ever the sportsman, remains open to the dream match with Lesnar, yet acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding The Beast’s future. His words echo the sentiments of many fans: a mixture of disappointment and lingering hope for this epic clash.
So, what comes next? Will Gable rise to the occasion, defying expectations and dethroning Gunther at WrestleMania? Or will the Intercontinental Champion reign supreme, unchallenged by a phantom Lesnar and potentially facing a different opponent altogether?
Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: Lesnar’s absence throws a wrench into WWE’s plans, creating a void that either Gable, with his technical prowess and personal motive, or another contender entirely, could fill.
WrestleMania 40, already steeped in intrigue, takes on a new layer of uncertainty, leaving the WWE Universe eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this unpredictable saga.
