The WrestleMania 40 craze is rapidly building up steam. The wrestling realm has been buzzing with possible match cards and spoilers.

Brock Lesnar might not grace the WrestleMania 40 stage
This year at ‘Mania, we could look to get some top-notch matches such as Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk, and many more. Besides these highly anticipated bouts, WWE was ready to bring the Beast Incarnate back to the lore after a long hiatus as per reports. A huge Brock Lesnar vs Gunther fantasy booking looked to be on the horizon. However, that isn’t the case anymore. A recent report suggests WWE might alter their Brock Lesnar plan just like they did in the Royal Rumble 2024 PLE, with his return emerging as a source of contention. Moreover, they hinted that the promotion might not look to avail the services of The Beast for WrestleMania 40.

As previously reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Brock Lesnar was supposed to make a return at the WWE Royal Rumble. However, this plan was scrapped later on. Now, as the recent report also declined the chance of his WrestleMania shot in April, the only hope left for us is the Elimination Chamber 2024.
As per the earlier report, Brock Lesnar was originally set to work with Dominik Mysterio at February’s premium live event. But given Bron Breakker replaced Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble, there’s a chance for the NXT star to take Lesnar’s spot at the Elimination Chamber as well.
It will be interesting to see how and when WWE plans the grand return of the veteran in the fray. What’s your take on WWE possibly nixing Brock Lesnar’s booking at WrestleMania 40? Let us know in the comments.
