#5 Details about former RAW Superstar Brock Lesnar's possible return

The speculation regarding The Beast Incarnate's return to WWE has been rampant of late. The former RAW Superstar has been missing after he lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36.

With rumors suggesting that John Cena is set to face Roman Reigns at SummerSlam this year, there was hopefulness about Brock Lesnar returning for a match against Bobby Lashley for the show as well.

However, there has been a lot of confusion over Lesnar's apparent return as Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has said that there are no concrete plans in regards to him returning anytime soon.

''SummerSlam would also make sense but right now that’s still not anything agreed to nor expected at this point,'' stated Dave Meltzer.

Fightful Select, on the other hand, have noted that Brock Lesnar is currently in talks with WWE for a return.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, WWE and Brock Lesnar are once again talking about how "The Beat Incarnate" could return to the company. The report notes that the creative team already has plans in place for Lesnar.
