WWE's plans for Brock Lesnar following Royal Rumble 2023 implosion revealed - Reports

Brock Lesnar suffered an early elimination at the WWE Royal Rumble 2023 despite being one of the favorites. With the world title shot ruled out for the time being, there has been an update on what the company has in store for the Beast Incarnate.

Lesnar has been embroiled in a feud with Bobby Lashley ever since he returned to TV programming last year. The duo faced off at Crown Jewel last November, where Lesnar picked up the win. However, the All Mighty attacked him after the bell to keep the feud going.

The Beast Incarnate returned on RAW before Royal Rumble to cost Lashley a chance to win the United States Championship. The animosity between the two was on display in the men's Rumble match, where the former Hurt Business member eliminated Lesnar within a short span of time. This led to the latter causing havoc at ringside.

While Brock Lesnar was not present on the latest edition of RAW, a recent report from Xero News states that The Beast Incarnate will be back on the upcoming edition of the red brand to continue his feud with Bobby Lashley.
