Brock Lesnar's Extended Absence from WWE

Brock Lesnar has not appeared on WWE programming since SummerSlam 2023, and recent reports indicate that his hiatus will continue for the foreseeable future. Speculation regarding his return has been rampant, particularly around major events like the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, yet he remains out of the public eye, sporting a new hairstyle.

New images of Lesnar have emerged on social media from an event where he was seen with his wife, Sable, a former WWE star. While he maintained his signature goatee, the most striking change was his long hair, which he has been growing since his last WWE appearance, where he had only tied it back.

Brock Lesnar Allegedly Returning To WWE For “A Figure That Comes That Has Two Commas”

Amid ongoing legal issues involving Lesnar, WWE has recently excluded him from their WrestleMania history as they prepare for the 41st edition of the event. Their official Twitter account shared a video highlighting Roman Reigns’ main event matches, notably omitting any mention of Lesnar, despite his significant history with Reigns.

WWE's Ongoing Strategy Regarding Lesnar

WWE's decision to minimize Lesnar's presence in their programming is evident. He has been removed from all creative plans following his mention in a lawsuit involving Vince McMahon and others, which led to his absence from the 2024 Royal Rumble and WrestleMania XL, where he was expected to face GUNTHER.

Nonetheless, Lesnar was referenced during the April 11 episode of WWE SmackDown, where Cody Rhodes discussed his previous encounters with the former champion while preparing for his match against John Cena at WrestleMania 41.
