The Beast is set to return on RAW next week!
The return of Brock Lesnar has once again shifted the gravitational pull of WWE programming. After nearly two years away, The Beast re-emerged late last year at the end of SummerSlam PLE and has since bulldozed his way through the roster, remaining undefeated in traditional matches heading toward WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
Now with Brock set to return on RAW next week, fresh speculation suggests Lesnar may not wait until April to make his next statement. According to a circulating report on X, the current internal plan calls for Lesnar to enter the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, potentially by attacking and replacing one of the scheduled entrants before the bout begins.
If true, the move would instantly redefine the match’s stakes. It would also reportedly serve as the launch point for a WrestleMania feud with LA Knight, setting up a marquee clash on the biggest stage of the year.
LA Knight, Gunther and WrestleMania implications
While Knight has been mentioned in internal discussions as a potential opponent, another high-profile name continues to hover around Lesnar’s orbit: Gunther.
On Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran personality argued that WWE should book Lesnar vs Gunther in Las Vegas, insisting the company wouldn’t need elaborate storytelling.
In his view, all it would take is Lesnar calling Gunther out and allowing the two powerhouses’ reputations to carry the narrative.
The spark for such a bout already exists. Lesnar and Gunther briefly crossed paths in the 2023 Royal Rumble, a short exchange that generated immediate buzz before Lesnar stepped away from WWE.
Since then, Gunther has strengthened his resume, adding to reigns as NXT United Kingdom Champion, Intercontinental Champion, and a two-time World Heavyweight Champion. Earlier this year, he even adopted the “Career Killer” moniker after retiring AJ Styles.
However, Gunther recently failed to qualify for the Elimination Chamber after Je’Von Evans pinned Dominik Mysterio, leaving his WrestleMania direction wide open.
Other rumored opponents, including Oba Femi, have reportedly been ruled out, keeping the picture fluid. For now, Lesnar’s possible Chamber involvement appears to be the first domino in what could become WWE’s biggest storyline of the spring.
Is Brock Lesnar officially confirmed for the WWE Elimination Chamber?
No, but a report suggests that he is set to compete, potentially by replacing an entrant, but WWE has not confirmed it.
Who is Brock Lesnar rumored to face at WrestleMania 42?
LA Knight has been mentioned internally, while some believe Gunther remains a strong alternative option.
