The Beast Incarnate has been away from programming since the Royal Rumble.
âThe Beast Incarnateâ Brock Lesnar made his earth-shattering return during the menâs Royal Rumble match in Riyadh last month. The return didnât last long as he was unceremoniously eliminated during Jey Usoâs entrance by Cody Rhodes and LA Knight.
Lesnar was involved in a fierce face-off with Oba Femi, sparking rumors of a massive WrestleMania clash between the two. On the other hand, reports also suggested that Lesnar is listed internally to face LA Knight at WrestleMania 42 as of late January.
In the lead-up to WrestleMania, fans are expecting WWE to bring back Lesnar to plant the seeds and eventually announce his match against either Knight, Oba, or someone else for the event. This begs the question: Will Lesnar make an appearance on tonightâs Raw, which is shaping up to be another consequential show ahead of Elimination Chamber?
