Brock Lesnar, an illustrious figure in WWE history, has faced a tumultuous few weeks as serious allegations surfaced, leading to reports suggesting the cancellation of his planned return. Originally,
The Beast Incarnate was set to make a comeback during the traditional Men’s Royal Rumble match, with plans for Dominik Mysterio to eliminate him from the over-the-top-rope battle. Additionally, a collision between Lesnar and Mysterio was scheduled for the upcoming Elimination Chamber Premium Live event.
However, the allegations prompted WWE to distance itself from Lesnar, evident in his exclusion from WWE games and even a replacement in the opening signature intro, where LA Knight now features instead.
This unexpected move by WWE has surprised many fans considering Lesnar’s significant contributions to the Stamford-based promotion. The question remains whether The Beast Incarnate will ever return to the company.
Further revelations indicate that if Lesnar had returned at the Royal Rumble 2024 and faced Mysterio at Elimination Chamber, he would have been on a path to a WrestleMania 40 showdown against Gunther.

The Imperium Leader had been rumored to clash with Lesnar for a considerable period, with the first sparks of their potential showdown igniting during last year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match.
However, recent reports suggest that these plans for a Lesnar-Gunther showdown at WrestleMania 40 have been scrapped. According to wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, Lesnar was originally scheduled to challenge Gunther at WrestleMania and face Mysterio in a featured match at Elimination Chamber.
In the midst of these developments, Gunther celebrated surpassing 600 days as the Intercontinental Champion on a recent episode of Monday Night RAW. The celebration, however, was disrupted by Jey Uso, hinting at a potential match between the two in the lead-up to WrestleMania 40.
As the situation unfolds, the WWE landscape is marked by uncertainty, with fans eagerly awaiting developments regarding Lesnar’s future and the potential matchups leading to the grand spectacle of WrestleMania 40.
