Former Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is now confirmed to return to WWE at the Saudi Arabia show in June. He was one of 8 Superstars announced for the show, which will also see the return of The Undertaker and Goldberg, to name a few.

Lesnar, who was set to have a big match in the UFC, has retired from MMA, and there are reports suggesting that he's informed Vince McMahon that he will retire from WWE at WrestleMania 36.

If that is the case, this could be Lesnar's last run and final feuds before calling time on a Hall of Fame career.

With him set to return at the Saudi Arabia show, let's take a look at 5 ways WWE can reintroduce Brock Lesnar to WWE television:


#5 Make a surprise appearance on SmackDown Live

WWE's viewership figures have plummetted recently which will be a cause for concern for WWE, as well as WWE's new TV partners, Fox, who will start airing SmackDown Live later this year.

The jury is still out on whether Brock Lesnar still brings in audiences like he did in his prime, but WWE could try him out to see if The Beast can take ratings back up. Lesnar has been rumoured to move to SmackDown Live, which could see him return to the blue brand after almost 15 years.

A prolonged run where he appears at least a few times before a PPV could maybe get him back in the good books of WWE fans, who were not impressed with Lesnar holding onto the Universal title for so long.

He could maybe return on SmackDown and build new rivalries on the show in the coming weeks.

#4 Lesnar challenges anyone in the locker room

As I mentioned in the previous page, Brock Lesnar is no fan favourite at the moment. Perhaps the only way he can win back fans is to fight his way to the top.

Lesnar could maybe challenge a few top stars of the blue brand and demolish them on SmackDown or RAW, throwing out an open challenge every week.

There are a few dream matches that are waiting for Lesnar on WWE television. From facing Lars Sullivan, who is WWE's latest monster, to a feud with another MMA talent in Bobby Lashley, or another NXT recruit, Aleister Black, Lesnar has several choices to battle with on WWE.

Perhaps he could put over some young Superstar before he finally bids goodbye to WWE.

#3 Go knocking on Vince McMahon's office

Vince McMahon, who has appeared quite a few times on WWE television in the last six months, has been involved in a couple of major feuds in WWE lately.

We know that the WWE Chairman values Lesnar in real-life, which is why he has a schedule that is very relaxed compared to the other Superstars in WWE.

Perhaps we could see WWE incorporate some of those real situations in a segment between McMahon and Lesnar after The Beast goes knocking on the WWE Chairman's door to find out his future in WWE.

We could maybe see a verbal confrontation where McMahon buries Lesnar for being a part-timer and chickening out of a potential UFC match with Daniel Cormier. McMahon, even today, gives some of WWE's best heels a run for their money and makes every Superstar that he's on screen with, look good.

#2 Confront Goldberg or Undertaker backstage

We've seen Brock Lesnar feud with both The Undertaker and Goldberg previously, and although I feel that both feuds won't have anything new to offer, WWE could still pursue it if it is only for the Saudi Arabia show.

The Saudi Arabia shows have seen WWE Hall of Famers and legends appear, and if the three big names listed for this year's show - The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and Goldberg - are only booked for that show, there is no point in building up the feud in a big way on RAW or SmackDown.

We could perhaps see a backstage segment between Lesnar and one of the two Superstars, where he challenges them to a match which could possibly be the final time the two Superstars face each other in the ring.

The match will likely be a trip down memory lane, to get the Saudi crowd excited to see some of the best that's ever stepped foot in a WWE ring.

#1 Attack Seth Rollins

Brock Lesnar hates losing. The Beast, who lost his last match in the WWE against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35, could perhaps seek to get back the title he lost and inflict some damage on Rollins.

Rollins won the title at WrestleMania 35 using underhand tactics, lowblowing Lesnar before landing a few Stomps to win the match and his first-ever Universal title.

We could maybe see Lesnar return to exact revenge on Rollins by attacking and brutalising him. This attack could maybe set a match for further down the road, maybe at SummerSlam, where Lesnar gets his rematch.

Rollins is currently in a feud with AJ Styles and will face the former WWE Champion at Money in the Bank, while rumours have suggested that Rollins could feud with Baron Corbin after his feud with Styles ends.

Perhaps the Lesnar match could come after his feud with Corbin.
