The unexpected return of Brock Lesnar to WWE during the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw has sparked a lot of discussion in the last few hours. After his defeat at WrestleMania 42 and his apparent farewell to the fans (including the ceremonial abandonment of his gloves and boots on the canvas), it was assumed that "The Beast" had retired as a wrestler.

In fact, his profile was moved to the "Alumni" section of the company's official website and his image relocated to the "Forever" section of WWE shows' intro (at the express request of Paul Heyman). However, everything has changed overnight, as once the red brand show ended, Lesnar's profile was moved back to the active talent section.

However, this move continues to raise many questions. Last night, Paul Heyman insisted that Brock Lesnar is a retired man. However, he also wanted to face Oba Femi in a rematch at WWE Clash in Italy. "The Wiseman" handed the contract for the match to Adam Pearce, indicating that "The Beast" had already signed it. It is expected that Femi will also sign it to seek his revenge in European territory.

With his return, many fans are beginning to speculate about a real retirement match at SummerSlam, an event that will take place the first weekend of August in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Likewise, it is expected that "The Beast" will face Gunther, who has specialized in retiring legends.
