The Beast Incarnate will return this Monday in Atlanta.

‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar is set to make his return ahead of the Elimination Chamber on the upcoming February 23 episode of WWE Raw. This will be his first appearance since the men’s Royal Rumble match.

Live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, the February 23 episode of WWE Raw carries huge anticipation among fans. Featuring multiple intriguing segments, the show will serve as the go-home show for the 2026 edition of the Chamber PLE.

Let us now take a look at three things Lesnar might do upon his return this Monday in Atlanta, especially as rumors surrounding his potential WrestleMania match continue to gain momentum.

3. Call-out Gunther

‘The Ring General’ Gunther has forced three legends into retirement, spoiling their farewell matches and earning a reputation as a ‘Career Killer.’ While Lesnar may not be someone Goldberg, AJ Styles, or John Cena consider a close friend, he still represents the old guard, making him a symbolic target if Gunther looks to cement his dominance over another era-defining name.

On the other hand, Lesnar might decide to challenge Gunther and defend the honor of his fellow veterans, stepping up to protect the legacy of the old guard and prove that their era is far from finished.

2. Attack LA Knight

Reports have suggested that LA Knight is penciled in as Lesnar’s potential WrestleMania opponent. Fans have pointed out that Knight eliminated Lesnar from the Men’s Royal Rumble match, along with his ongoing feud with the Vision faction, a situation that could ultimately force Paul Heyman to call on Brock to deal with Knight.

If WWE is indeed going in this direction, then Lesnar could come to the Vision’s rescue and attack Knight, setting up a WrestleMania showdown on the Elimination Chamber go-home show.

1. Another face-off with Oba Femi

One of the major moments witnessed in the WWE Royal Rumble PLE was the face-off between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi. Many fans have called for a potential showdown between the two powerhouses at the ‘Grandest Stage.’

Femi has received a massive push ahead of his main roster debut, and a potential feud with someone of Lesnar’s stature would only elevate him further, solidifying his arrival and turning him into even more of a household name.

The February 23 episode of Monday Night Raw will take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
