Earlier this year, after Janel Grant revealed details about Vince McMahon‘s alleged behavior toward her. Brock Lesnar was removed from programming upon being mentioned in this complaint. However, Lesnar was not fired from WWE. And it is believed that he could return in the future.

During the press conference immediately following the first night of Wrestlemania XL, Triple H was asked if Brock Lesnar was still under contract with WWE. And the COO revealed that Lesnar’s status never changed. And he’s not out of WWE. But ever since his absence, it seems like Paul Heyman has moved on and is part of the Bloodline. So will the Beast work solo? Well, maybe not. Because a famous celebrity has volunteered to be by his side. Who is the celebrity? Let’s find out.

Everyone knows that Lesnar is a beast inside the ring. However, the same cannot be said about his mic skills. That’s why WWE got Paul Heyman to be his manager. His iconic promo skills, along with Lesnar’s cold demeanor, made them a deadly duo. But now that Heyman’s out; WWE will need another guy who is equally good on the mic.

And Gabriel Iglesias wants to be the Beast’s next manager. Gabriel Iglesias is not only one of America’s most famous stand-up comedians who has conquered the entire world; he is also one of the most-watched comedians on YouTube. His unscripted documentary-style series “Fluffy Breaks Even” has been a hit with the masses. And in a recent podcast episode, he revealed that he wants to manage Lesnar.

During an episode of the Behind the Turnbuckle podcast, Jonathan Coachman, the former general manager of RAW, asked Fluffy who he would choose to manage in the WWE. And while he knew that his pick would be controversial, Iglesias revealed that it would be Lesnar. “Oh, this might be controversial just because of, you know, blah blah blah, but Brock Lesnar.”

Brock Lesnar’s last appearance in WWE was at last year’s SummerSlam when he lost his match to Cody Rhodes before taking a break from the company. And since then, he has yet to appear. So maybe the WWE can work out a deal and actually get Iglesias to be his manager. But now that we know who might be his voice and who could be the first opponent that he faces? Well, there is a volunteer there as well.

Gunther is confident that he will finally be able to face Brock Lesnar

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Gunther, who previously mentioned his interest in facing Brock Lesnar, again insisted on this possibility. The Ring General sees Lesnar as something of a “final boss” for him. He believes that in the future he could take on a similar role. In addition, he assured that he was completely unaware of Lesnar’s current situation.

“I always saw Brock as my final boss. I’ve always been portrayed like that: as NXT UK Champion, Intercontinental Champion, I was like the final boss of that division, and Brock, for a long time, was the final boss of the whole company. So I always saw myself in my future in a similar position to his, and to be that you have to get in the ring with that guy. We’ll see if there’s a chance it will happen again. I’m more than willing.”

Before he was removed from programming, Brock Lesnar was supposed to return to start building a rivalry with Gunther that would lead to them facing off at WrestleMania XL. We’ll see if this finally happens in the future if the company allows Lesnar to return to programming.
