Brock Lesnar, a former WWE Champion and one of the most feared and respected athletes in professional wrestling, has been recently spotted with a new look, embracing his age, amid his hiatus from WWE. The Beast Incarnate, as he is fondly known, is no longer getting any younger, and his latest appearance has left many speculating about his future in professional wrestling.
In the midst of his hiatus, Lesnar has been embroiled in a controversy surrounding the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon, which has put his future in jeopardy. The 47-year-old legend was immediately removed from WWE’s creative plans, and reports suggest that the company’s legal team has advised against bringing him back until he gets full clearance.
The photo of Lesnar that has been circulating on social media shows him with his hair grown out, a stark departure from his signature, short-haired, intense persona. The image has sparked a flurry of rumors and speculation about what this new look means for Lesnar’s future in WWE.
One potential scenario is that Lesnar might return to WWE in a different role. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW, a former WWE head writer suggested that Lesnar could make a comeback as a partner for Big E, whose heel turn on The New Day has been met with lukewarm reception. However, this idea seems unlikely, as it is hard to imagine Lesnar getting involved in The New Day’s business, even if it does offer a tantalizing opportunity for a surprise angle.
Another possibility is that Lesnar might make a surprise entry during the 2025 Royal Rumble. Fans and veterans alike have been clamoring for him to face Gunther in a massive WrestleMania showdown, and the prospect of Lesnar’s return, even if just for one night, has sent suprisewaves through the WWE universe.
Lesnar’s absence from WWE has not been without consequence. His last match was a losing effort against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in 2023, and his removal from creative plans has left a void in the company’s storylines. The uncertainty surrounding his future has also added to the speculation and rumors surrounding his potential return.
As the world waits with bated breath to see what the future holds for Brock Lesnar, one thing is certain – his new look and mysterytic status have set the wheels in motion for a potentially explosive storyline that could shake the very foundations of WWE.
