Brock Lesnar has been away from WWE programming for nearly a year. The Beast Incarnate was last seen in action at SummerSlam 2023, where he put over Cody Rhodes. With The Biggest Party of The Summer on the horizon, there could be an interesting way to bring the former Universal Champion back into the fold.

RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has been dealing with Bron Breakker's recklessness ever since the latter moved to the red brand. Despite Pearce's repeated warnings, the former NXT Champion has continued to wreak havoc on the red brand, laying out multiple names with vicious attacks.

Bron Breakker earned the opportunity to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Ilja Dragunov on RAW this past Monday. The 26-year-old star will now face Sami Zayn at SummerSlam 2024 and is expected to walk out with the gold this time after failing to do so at Money in the Bank.

However, the match could provide WWE an excellent opportunity to bring back Brock Lesnar, given he is cleared by the legal team. The Beast Incarnate could cost Breakker the match, setting up the highly anticipated feud between the two. Bron could also eventually beat the former Universal Champion in a "passing of the torch" moment.

Fans would go crazy if The Beast Incarnate made his return at The Biggest Party of the Summer.


Bron Breakker reportedly replaced Brock Lesnar at WWE Royal Rumble 2024

As noted earlier, Brock Lesnar has been away from WWE programming since losing to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023. According to reports, The Beast Incarnate was slated to return at Royal Rumble earlier this year. However, the plans were nixed after Lesnar was seemingly referenced in the lawsuit against Vince McMahon.

It was also reported that Bron Breakker replaced the former Universal Champion in the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble Match.

"It was definitely Bron Breakker. Bron Breakker was not scheduled for the Rumble. He was called up. They needed someone too look.. Brock was going to be in there looking impressive and they needed someone to fill those shoes. There wasn’t a lot of guys they would have given that spot to," Dave Meltzer reported.

Bron Breakker has been touted as the second coming of Brock Lesnar and many people believe that The Big Bad Booty Nephew should be the one to retire The Beast Incarnate. Brock's potential return at SummerSlam 2024 could perfectly set up the storyline between the two.
