Who can forget the ending segment of the latest edition of RAW? The Rock thrashed Cody Rhodes and left him bloody in the parking lot. Dwayne Johnson also sent out a strong message to Mama Rhodes as he removed a white belt with Mama Rhodes printed on it and said, “Mama Rhodes, the Rock has got a special gift… The Rock is a man of his word. He said he’s going to put your son’s blood on this belt and at Wrestle Mania your son’s blood and your tears… Look at your boy, look at the blood…”

The unexpected aggression had fans in disbelief but another element in that promo that caught their attention was a picture on a truck that was parked behind the Rock and Rhodes’ outdoor drama. Brock Lesnar‘s poster was spotted in the background. The image was not very clear, but viewers could catch a glimpse of it in the video and identify the Beast.

Since the beginning of the year, everything seemed to indicate that The Beast would return at this year’s Royal Rumble. But the plans ended up being postponed after he was named in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit alongside Vince McMahon. Little to no details have emerged about the former champion’s return to the promotion. As a precautionary measure, WWE distanced him from a lot of events.

Lesnor was pulled from a planned WrestleMania 40 dream match. He was excluded from the cover of the WWE 2K24 special ’40 Years of Wrestle Mania’ edition game and the WWE 2K Supercard Digital Collectible Game. The company also downplayed his role significantly in the WWE 2K24 by making him playable only in the Showcase mode.

But there were rumors that the WWE was making moves behind the scenes to bring back the Beast. This could be a major hint at Lesnar returning. This belief is further fueled by his return to other aspects of WWE. The very recent being a glimpse of him on the latest edition of RAW.
