Paul Heyman may have subtly confirmed former Universal Champion won’t be coming back to WWE anytime soon
Paul Heyman recently returned to WWE television, introducing CM Punk as the OG Bloodline's fifth member for the WarGames match. The Wiseman’s return has undoubtedly heightened fan excitement for the upcoming clash.
Additionally, the inclusion of The Best in the World as a Paul Heyman Guy has added another layer of intrigue to the storyline. Following his return, he gave an interview in which he subtly addressed the status of former Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.
In his comments, the Special Counsel seemingly affirmed that The Beast Incarnate will not return to WWE anytime soon.
What does Paul Heyman think about Brock Lesnar's WWE return?
During an interview with CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri, Hall of Famer Paul Heyman was questioned about Brock Lesnar's potential return to WWE. In response, the Special Counsel explained that this topic isn’t currently up for discussion until it is officially resolved.
He stated that addressing Lesnar’s return isn’t on WWE’s radar. However, Heyman hinted that the situation might resolve itself by Survivor Series or by the end of the year.
"I don't really put any thought into that at this time because it's not a subject that is going to resolve itself by Survivor Series or by the end of the year. Therefore, it is not on the radar of things to address," he said.
Heyman’s comments hint that Brock Lesnar is unlikely to make an imminent return to the Stamford-based promotion. If The Beast were set to come back soon, The Wiseman might have teased or planted seeds for his comeback rather than addressing Lesnar’s status dismissively.
Lesnar was name-dropped on the recent RAW
During the latest episode of WWE RAW, Brock Lesnar’s name was mentioned during a segment where Xavier Woods mocked Kofi Kingston for being defeated by The Beast in just a few seconds during his WWE Championship loss.
This clear reference to Lesnar led fans to speculate about the Suplex City owner's potential return. However, based on Paul Heyman’s recent comments, it seems unlikely that Lesnar will be returning anytime soon.
When The Beast is now expected to return?
Paul Heyman’s comments suggest that Brock Lesnar is unlikely to return to WWE, at least until Survivor Series or possibly the end of this year. The rationale behind this is reportedly tied to the legal issues Lesnar is currently dealing with.
Looking ahead, the RAW Netflix debut show in 2025, Royal Rumble 2025, or WrestleMania 41 seem like ideal events for Lesnar’s potential return. However, the uncertainty remains, as there is no definitive timeline for when Lesnar will resolve his legal issues.
