WWE fans were disappointed to learn that Brock Lesnar will not be returning this year. As a part of the allegations leveled against Vince McMahon, Lesnar was removed from the WWE 2K24 game and has not been mentioned by the company. However, during Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson‘s beatdown of Cody Rhodes on RAW, a major spoiler was dropped.
Eagle-eyed fans caught this and spread it online. Could this be foreshadowing something at Mania?

In the background of Johnson and Rhodes, a truck can be seen with a blurry shot of Brock Lesnar’s face on it. While that is common for WWE promotional trucks, it also features WrestleMania XL’s logo. While this could be a mistake by the camera person, Johnson himself uploaded the image. Among the pictures of the beatdown Johnson uploaded to Instagram, the fifth picture shows the truck with Lesnar’s face on it. It is visible in the background.

This has led to a storm of fans claiming Lesnar will be returning at Mania or after. This could mirror Lesnar returning after Mania 39 in the guise of helping Rhodes only to turn on him. However, while the evidence is there, nothing can be confirmed at the moment. The reason why this went viral among fans is that Johnson himself posted it. While it could have been an oversight by Johnson or his PR team, the visible truck leaves a lot to question.
