Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE television for the past few months. The Beast Incarnate made his last appearance at this year's SummerSlam, where he lost against Cody Rhodes. Despite this loss, Lesnar seemingly turned face and shared a torch-passing moment with The American Nightmare.
The sudden absence of Brock Lesnar from the company raises questions about his current status within the Stamford-based promotion. However, as of now, Brock Lesnar is still under a WWE contract. So, he hasn't left. Previous reports have indicated that the multi-time world champion's current contract extends until next year's WrestleMania 40.
Additionally, there are speculations that Lesnar might return to the company early next year if he doesn't participate in the upcoming Crown Jewel Premium Live event.

Furthermore, this contract could mark the final deal for the Beast Incarnate before retiring from the business. Recent speculations have also surfaced regarding Lesnar's potential return to the UFC, especially since USADA may soon not be associated with testing fighters for the promotion.
It remains to be seen how things will unfold in the near future and what will happen when the Beast Incarnate makes his anticipated return to the company. If he doesn't wrestle in a rivalry clash, Brock Lesnar might participate in the traditional 30-Man Royal Rumble match.
Brock Lesnar's possible opponent for next year's WrestleMania match
If Lesnar doesn't sign a contract extension with the company, it is anticipated that his final match will take place at next year's WrestleMania under his existing deal. Gunther is highly regarded as the likely candidate to face the multi-time world champion at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The Ring General holds the Intercontinental Championship in a record-breaking title reign. This has led to speculation that he may win the Royal Rumble match next year to earn a shot at the world title after losing the Intercontinental Title before the Royal Rumble Premium Live event.
However, if this scenario doesn't come to fruition, a match against The Beast remains a significant possibility. The Ring General has previously expressed his interest in facing Lesnar in a singles bout, and fans have long desired to witness such a confrontation between these two formidable competitors.
It will be intriguing to see whether the company can arrange a match between Gunther and Lesnar at next year's WrestleMania. Also, whether The Ring General can secure a victory against one of the most decorated stars in the history of WWE.
