Brock Lesnar was last seen on WWE programming at SummerSlam 2023, where he featured in the final match of his trilogy with Cody Rhodes. He is currently on a hiatus right now and there’s no update on a return since WWE often closely guards his schedule. Word going on is that he will return on the road to WrestleMania 40 if not something is arranged for him in time for WWE’s next PPV in Saudi Arabia in late October.
In the meantime, Brock Lesnar has also been rumored to make an appearance in the Octagon. The former champion is rumoredly returning to the UFC for a fight at the UFC 300 PPV in 2024. The speculations have gone bigger given that he also competed at UFC 100 and 200).
However, chances are certainly low for that, accruing to what UFC President Dana White has to say, “Brock looks good, doesn’t he? He always does. I think Brock’s done. I don’t think he ever comes back.” (quotes courtesy Sports Illustrated)
