Brock Lesnar is officially back in WWE. The Beast Incarnate made a shocking return during the May 18 episode of WWE RAW from the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, immediately putting an end to retirement speculation that followed WrestleMania 42.
Lesnar returned during Oba Femi’s open challenge segment on RAW. As Femi made his entrance, Lesnar stormed into the ring and completely destroyed him in front of a stunned crowd. Fans erupted as Lesnar dropped Oba Femi with three consecutive F5s in one of the most chaotic moments of the night.
The return came as a major surprise considering many fans believed Lesnar’s in-ring career was over after WrestleMania 42. Following his loss to Oba Femi at the event, Lesnar left his boots and gloves in the ring, a move traditionally viewed as a retirement gesture in wrestling.
Recent reports and speculation had also tied Lesnar’s WWE future to outside legal developments connected to Vince McMahon and Janel Grant, creating even more uncertainty surrounding whether fans would ever see him back on WWE television.
Instead, WWE brought Lesnar back in dominant fashion and instantly reignited his issues with Oba Femi. The attack strongly suggests WWE is building toward another showdown between the two powerhouse stars after Femi previously defeated Lesnar on the WrestleMania stage.
At this point, WWE has not confirmed when Brock Lesnar will compete again, but his return alone instantly became one of the biggest moments coming out of Monday Night RAW.
