The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE television for an extended period of time. The speculations about The Conqueror’s return are at an all-time high since Summerslam is just around the horizon. WWE normally arranges huge returns during or the week before the event. But will Lesnar truly return to the promotion at this Summerslam? If he will, why Summerslam?
Let us look at some of the speculations suggesting Brock Lesnar will make a comeback. WWE normally arranges huge matchups ahead of time, and speculations suggest that Brock Lesnar vs. Gunther is one of the big matches WWE wants to have. The Ring General is at the pinnacle of his career and is nearly unstoppable in WWE.

Furthermore, Gunther is the current number-one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship after winning the King of the Ring tournament. He will fight for the championship at Summerslam, where he will face the current champion Damien Priest. Gunther is the favorite one for the match, and if he does not win, he may not lose cleanly, thus WWE may trouble Gunther in this bout by scheduling Brock Lesnar’s comeback.

The former WWE Champion’s comeback might cost Gunther the bout and the championship, leading to both of them warring for some time before they face off at the greatest platform of them all, WrestleMania 41. This is merely a supposition, and the only reason it might not happen is that it is too soon for both of them to start feuding if the match is going to take place at WrestleMania. What are some other reasons?
Brock Lesnar might come to take his advocate’s revenge
As you are aware, the new Bloodline, led by new Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa, severely beat Paul Heyman and kicked him from the group as well. Heyman would want vengeance on this faction, and there are a few wrestlers he might enlist to assist him achieve this goal. One of them is Brock Lesnar, which makes sense given that they were a duo on screen for over a decade.

Furthermore, this might make the Bloodline tale more engaging and entertaining to watch. Although there are fewer chances of this happening, it will be intriguing to watch what WWE does with Brock Lesnar’s comeback to WWE TV and the storyline he will have after returning.
