Brock Lesnar is a bonafide attraction for professional wrestling fans who wrestles only on a handful of occasions in a year. But things changed ever since his return to the WWE in SummerSlam 2021. He has regularly been featured on WWE television. Plus, he was also seen defending his WWE Championship on March 5 at a live event at Madison Square Garden which was his first house show outing in almost two years.
Brock Lesnar was absent from WWE television after dropping the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36. As stated in Michael Kay Show, he thought that was it for his career. With the COVID-19 pandemic going in full force, he had no plans to ever come back to the WWE ring, ever again. But things changed for good measures.

“As long as ‘those dollar bills come in. For real though, I have no need to do this because I have been really wise. The only reason I am doing it is simply because I want to. I’m not boasting, but I’ve been really good with my money. I’ve always been that way.”

Brock Lesnar had hugely successful runs in WWE
After a hiatus of over one and a half years, Brock Lesnar returned to WWE programming at Summerslam 2021 to confront WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and thereby hinted to come after the title. That return eventually went on to produce the biggest match in WWE history at Wrestlemania 38 where both the WWE Championship and Universal Championship would be on the line.
Even prior to the 2021 return, Brock Lesnar has found immense success in both of his runs with WWE who won numerous world championships including a run where he had both the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship around his shoulder. Lesnar also cemented himself as one of the most prolific performers in MMA who is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion.
