Brock Lesnar’s WWE WrestleMania 40 return plans revealed

The Beast Incarnate signed a one-year contract in WWE after WrestleMania 39 and it was reported that Brock Lesnar would have only five matches under the deal. Lesnar fought three matches in WWE so far under the current contract and all the three were against Cody Rhodes. The first match was at Backlash in Puerto Rico, where Lesnar lost to Cody Rhodes. The second match was at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, where he won. The third match was at SummerSlam in Detroit, where Cody won.
With three out of five matches already done in 2023, Lesnar took a long hiatus from WWE and was previously reported that he is done with WWE for the rest of the year and would return only by 2024. Now, Lesnar’s return and WrestleMania plans have potentially been revealed.
Brock Lesnar on WrestleMania 40 promotions
Despite being absent from WWE, Brock Lesnar was spotted on a WrestleMania 40 promotional poster at the back of a WWE Production truck. He was spotted on an interesting timing where Royal Rumble is about a month away, which kicks start the road to WrestleMania.
It was previously reported that Brock Lesnar would return to WWE the next year to compete in the rest of the five matches and it seems like his return is already in place. However we need to wait until The Beast Incarnate shows up on television, but could expect his appearance in the upcoming months.
As per various rumors circulating on the internet, Lesnar would likely return at the Royal Rumble match and would be picking up his opponent for WrestleMania 40 during the match itself.
