Brock Lesnar to announce his retirement after returning to WWE, dream feud? - 5 Things The Beast can do if he returns at Crown Jewel

The two references to Brock Lesnar on the latest episode of RAW have caused a buzz among pro wrestling fans across the internet. The WWE Universe is now more optimistic about The Beast Incarnate’s return to the Stamford-based promotion.

However, as of now, no reports are affirming Lesnar's WWE status following the references on the red brand. Meanwhile, WWE is gearing up for Crown Jewel 2024.

In this article, we will explore five things The Beast Incarnate could do if he makes his return at the Saudi Arabia Premium Live Event.

#5. Brock Lesnar might put the entire locker room on notice

One of the things The Beast could do if he returns at Crown Jewel is to put the WWE locker room on notice. Lesnar’s last match was at SummerSlam 2023, where he suffered a loss to Cody Rhodes. This long hiatus, combined with being defeated in his last match, may have diminished the fear other superstars once had of him.

Therefore, Brock Lesnar could return with a vengeance, sending a clear warning to everyone backstage that The Beast is back and they should be on high alert.

#4. Lesnar might confront Gunther for a dream showdown

A match between Brock Lesnar and Gunther is something fans have eagerly anticipated since their confrontation at Royal Rumble 2023. With The Ring General set to be part of the Crown Jewel match card, the possibility of The Beast returning at Saudi Arabia to confront Gunther is high.

Currently, Gunther is the World Heavyweight Champion, and it’s well-known that whenever Lesnar returns to WWE, he often sets his sights on the world title. With Gunther holding that championship right now, a confrontation between these two would make perfect sense.

#3. A retirement announcement could take place

John Cena is already set to retire from WWE next year, with his retirement tour kicking off in 2025. Amid this, fans could be in for another big surprise if Brock Lesnar announces his retirement following a potential appearance at Crown Jewel 2024.

The Beast Incarnate has already had a decorated career in the company and has nothing left to prove. The multi-time world champion has been working a part-time schedule for many years, except last year when he competed in numerous matches.

That could have been the last time fans witnessed a full-time Lesnar, as he may announce his own final tour with an earth-shaking retirement announcement at Crown Jewel.

#2. Lesnar could launch an attack on Seth Rollins

The first reference to Brock Lesnar was made by Seth Rollins during his segment with Adam Pearce. In this segment, The Visionary boasted about defeating Lesnar in the past and called himself the "Beast Slayer," a nickname he adopted after dethroning The Beast at WrestleMania 35.

If Lesnar returns at Crown Jewel 2024, there’s a strong possibility that Rollins could become his first target due to these comments on RAW. The Beast could seek revenge by demanding another match against Rollins to avenge his previous loss.

#1. Destruction might await Cody Rhodes if Lesnar returns

Similar to Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes also flaunted his achievement of defeating Brock Lesnar by stating that he had already conquered a "frightening Beast." The Beast Incarnate's last match was, in fact, against Rhodes, where he suffered a loss.

This reference from The American Nightmare could trigger The Beast, potentially leading to a destructive attack on Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel 2024.

With Rhodes vs. Gunther already scheduled for the Saudi Arabia show, it opens the possibility that Brock Lesnar might launch a post-match attack on the Undisputed WWE Champion.
