Paul Heyman to bring back major name, Damian Priest loses title to new challenger - 3 ways Brock Lesnar can return at WWE SummerSlam 2024
Former Universal Champion Brock Lesnar has been absent from the wrestling scene for an extended period. His last appearance in the WWE ring was at SummerSlam 2023, where he lost against Cody Rhodes.
Now, he may be able to return once again. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H recently revealed that The Beast is still part of WWE and might be open to working together again. There is a chance that an agreement has already been reached.
If this is accurate and Lesnar is poised to rejoin the Stamford-based promotion, he might return on August 3 at SummerSlam 2024.
If the 10-time world champion graces us with his presence, here are three ways he can make his return at SummerSlam.
#3. Paul Heyman returns with Brock Lesnar to confront the Bloodline
During Roman Reigns' tenure as the head of The Bloodline, Paul Heyman served as his Wiseman. However, following WrestleMania, Reigns has been on a hiatus, leaving Heyman to work with Solo Sikoa and other members of the new Bloodline.
The 58-year-old was assaulted by Sikoa and his associates not long ago and has not made any appearances on screen since that incident. With Roman still absent, The Wiseman might turn to his old and reliable ally, Brock Lesnar. He may bring back his former client following Solo Sikoa's bout with Cody Rhodes.
The Wiseman could bring Lesnar to join forces with Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. The trio has been going up against the new Bloodline with one member short and Lesnar's involvement in the Bloodline storyline could create a fresh narrative.
While everyone expects the former Big Dog to return at some point, having Lesnar jump in first gives WWE a chance to stretch out the storyline.
#2. Costs Gunther his World Title match
Gunther is scheduled to challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Biggest Party of The Summer.
The Ring General is invincible at the moment and, should he be allowed to confront The Archer of Infamy without interference, he would probably emerge as the new champion.
However, the former UFC champion returning to thwart Gunther's chances in this match could keep the latter strong and pave the way for a confrontation at the upcoming Bash in Berlin.
With a stunning comeback and an amazed audience, Brock Lesnar stepping into the ring and going head-to-head with Gunther would undoubtedly be a moment that grabs headlines.
#1. Triple H reveals Lesnar as Damian Priest's new challenger
Should The Judgment Day member emerge victorious against the invincible Gunther and retain his title, The Game could come out to congratulate him. He could then reveal a new challenge awaiting the world champion.
If Brock Lesnar's entrance music plays on August 3, fans will be pumped up for a major showdown. The presence of The Beast alone raises the intensity of any championship match. If he manages to clinch the title and defend it regularly, it will elevate the excitement to a new level.
