Paul Heyman made his earth-shattering return on the most recent episode of WWE SmackDown. The Wiseman didn’t come back alone, as he brought CM Punk with him as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline's WarGames team. Fans had already speculated about Punk’s return alongside Heyman, given The Second City Saint's history as a Paul Heyman Guy.
However, Punk’s return has sparked speculation about another Paul Heyman Guy potentially making a comeback at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, which is none other than Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate has been absent from WWE for a considerable time. His last appearance was at SummerSlam 2023, where he suffered a loss to Cody Rhodes.
Recently, there have been subtle hints that indicate Lesnar’s return could be on the horizon, though nothing has been confirmed yet. Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 marks the final Premium Live Event of the year for WWE, making it a prime setting for surprises and shocking twists. This leaves the door open for Lesnar’s return, even if the chances remain slim.
If Brock Lesnar does return, it could unfold similarly to CM Punk’s shocking comeback at the end of last year’s PLE. A Lesnar return would indeed inject even more intrigue into the ongoing storyline involving Paul Heyman, given Lesnar’s history as a Heyman Guy.
It will be fascinating to see how events unfold at the impending PLE and whether Brock Lesnar delivers an earth-shattering comeback or not.
Another factor fueling speculation about Brock Lesnar’s return is a recent cryptic post from RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. Pearce posted a picture on his official Twitter (X) account featuring himself, Paul Heyman, and The Beast Incarnate.
The post had no caption, which led fans to speculate and come up with various theories, many of them believing Lesnar could finally be making his return. However, Pearce later posted multiple other cryptic updates, leading some fans to question whether the original post was really significant.
As of now, there is no confirmed timeline for Lesnar’s return. In fact, recent reports have cast doubt on the likelihood of Brock returning anytime soon. This leaves the situation surrounding The Beast Incarnate uncertain. Only time will tell when the legendary star will make his comeback to the Stamford-based promotion.
If Survivor Series isn’t the event for his return, RAW’s Netflix debut or the Royal Rumble 2025 could be more realistic locations for Lesnar’s comeback.
