WWE Rumor Roundup - Mystery hand spotted at Hell in a Cell, Big name headed to AEW, Details of a 'poorly kept' Brock Lesnar secret revealed (21st June 2021)

#3. Massive update on Brock Lesnar's WWE status and return

Brock Lesnar manages to feature in almost every WWE Rumor Roundup, and it's not surprising. The Beast Incarnate has been a free agent since WrestleMania 36.

Fightful Select dropped a massive update on Brock Lesnar's current status, and the good news is that he could finally be on his way back.

Sources stated that WWE's perception and expectations of Brock Lesnar are a poorly kept secret backstage. Everyone knows about the company's intent to get him back. Many people think Lesnar and the company have had recent talks, and that 'plans are in order for Brock Lesnar.'

When WWE removed Brock Lesnar's merchandise from the online store last year, neither party was worried as Lesnar was always expected to renegotiate terms. The process just took longer than usual. While many departments are familiar with Lesnar's status, none of the teams have been told to prepare promotional material just yet for Brock Lesnar's return.

Those close to Brock Lesnar stated that as of this writing, no 'real contract' or movement had been made with regards to locking Brock Lesnar down for a few more years.

SummerSlam could be the show that accommodates several part-timers, and WWE could ideally work out a new contract for the Beast Incarnate before the biggest show of the summer.
