Brock Lesnar to return and confront new champion at SummerSlam 2024? Exploring the chances 

Despite showing no signs of return, the WWE Universe is still highly anticipating Brock Lesnar’s comeback. The Beast Incarnate last wrestled in the squared circle at SummerSlam 2023, where he suffered a loss at the hands of Cody Rhodes.

However, as The Biggest Party of the Summer is known for surprises, The Mayor of Suplex City might return to confront Bron Breakker after his potential victory over Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship. For those unaware, The Dog of NXT is set to compete against Sami in an IC title match at SummerSlam.

This match was announced after Breakker’s continued targeting of Zayn despite losing to him at Money in the Bank 2024. Due to Bron receiving a strong booking despite his previous clean loss, he is the favorite to win at SummerSlam and finally become the new Intercontinental Champion.

The assumption of Brock Lesnar confronting Breakker is strategic, as this could be a massive way to uplift the young star's status as a main event star. The Beast’s return is something that fans are eagerly awaiting, and if Lesnar returns to confront Breakker, it will make the whole world watch their feud, giving it more highlight among the global audience.

Additionally, a feud between Bron and Brock is something fans have wanted to witness for a long time, due to the dominating booking of the former NXT Champion in the past few months. It remains to be seen what will happen at SummerSlam 2024 and whether this dream scenario will materialize at the premium live event.

Has Brock Lesnar ever returned at SummerSlam PLE?

Brock Lesnar and the SummerSlam Premium Live Event have a special connection, as The Beast has appeared in the past three installments of the show. Lesnar even made his return at SummerSlam 2021 after a long hiatus.

That year, the Beast Incarnate confronted Roman Reigns after The Tribal Chief emerged victorious over John Cena in a World Title match. The SummerSlam comeback in 2021 strengthens the chances of the same scenario happening this year.

Additionally, Brock Lesnar wrestled against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2022 and then Rhodes last year. This increases the chances that the WWE might once again consider booking their decorated star for the upcoming PLE.

Whether Brock Lesnar will continue his streak by participating in this year's SummerSlam remains to be seen.
