Brock Lesnar turned heads recently when he appeared in a brand-new look during his ongoing absence from WWE.
Lesnar has stayed away from WWE since August 2023, when he last stepped into the ring at SummerSlam and lost to Cody Rhodes. Although WWE initially planned for his return at the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble.
However, those plans were scrapped after reports linked Lesnar to the ongoing Vince McMahon sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit. Since then, the company has remained quiet about his status, waiting for legal matters to unfold. Now, new photos of The Beast Incarnate have surfaced online.
In the photos, Brock Lesnar appears alongside his wife, Sable, with noticeably longer hair. Lesnar did have a short-cropped ponytail in WWE, but this is still a big contrast from his usual look.
With Lesnar now spotted in a new look, fans are speculating that his return to WWE after years of absence could be near. Only time will tell.
Latest update on Brock Lesnar’s WWE return status
On the April 11 episode of WWE SmackDown, former Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes mentioned Brock Lesnar during his in-ring promo ahead of his WrestleMania 41 match against John Cena. Rhodes said Cena is always teaching and preaching, but maybe he can learn something from him. He added that he would tell Cena the same thing he told Brock and Roman, that he performs best when pushed into a corner.
Cody Rhodes’ mention of Lesnar sparked speculation about a possible return for The Beast Incarnate. However, Fightful Select reported that despite the name drop, WWE currently has no plans to bring Lesnar back. Additionally, there have been no recent talks about involving him behind the scenes.
Dave Meltzer confirmed this, stating, “I’ve been told adamantly, it’s like, this is in the hands of (WWE) legal. It’s not in the hands of Paul Levesque. Nick Khan’s not gonna overrule legal. And when they think that the case is going to be settled, or whatever it is, then maybe he’ll come back. I don’t know.”
