Brock Lesnar remains one of the most controversial figures in sports entertainment. Ever since his name has been linked to Vince McMahon‘s s*x trafficking scandal, WWE has rarely mentioned him on TV. Additionally, his reputation has taken a hit among fans, who have painted a negative image of him online. Recently, a fan compared Buddy Matthews to The Beast, and Rhea Ripley appeared visibly disgusted.
In a viral clip, Matthews read a fan’s comment comparing his appearance to Brock Lesnar‘s. As the AEW star repeated the remark, Mami shot him a disgusted look, seemingly expressing her disdain for The Beast Incarnate. The Eradicator’s reaction has been making waves online, with many fans believing she responded exactly as one should upon hearing Lesnar’s name.
The former WWE Champion was explicitly named in Janel Grant‘s lawsuit in January, directly linking him to McMahon’s s*x trafficking case. Since then, many believe Lesnar has no chance of returning to WWE. However, multiple people have spotted the 47-year-old in public despite the controversy surrounding him.

Nonetheless, Triple H has previously stated that WWE and Lesnar remain on good terms and that the former UFC star is open to a return at any time. However, these remarks appear to be more of a media deflection than a concrete possibility. Since he has heavily tarnished his legacy in sports entertainment, WWE’s willingness to bring back the 47-year-old remains uncertain.
Brock Lesnar’s last match in WWE was a poetic send-off to his career
Brock Lesnar has been part of several iconic feuds in WWE, with his battles against Roman Reigns, John Cena, and The Undertaker ranking among his greatest rivalries. In his final run with the Stamford-based promotion, he faced Cody Rhodes in a highly anticipated showdown. While the clash delivered excitement, it ultimately served as a fitting send-off to Lesnar’s storied career.
The two stars clashed at SummerSlam 2023 in Detroit, settling their rivalry in a decisive rubber match after two intense battles at previous PLEs. After a hard-fought contest, Rhodes finally secured a victory over the former UFC star, bringing their feud to an end. However, in a surprising turn, The Beast put over The American Nightmare in front of the fans, marking a rare moment of respect.
Lesnar didn’t just have a rare moment of respect—he actively symbolized a transition of eras. In a meaningful gesture, the Cowboy Sheriff of WWE acknowledged that his time was up, passing the badge to Rhodes. It was a powerful moment that may have marked the end of The Beast’s career on his own terms.
Potential dream matches for Brock Lesnar if he returns
Professional wrestling thrives on the mantra of “never say never.” Shocking moments like CM Punk’s return and John Cena’s long-awaited heel turn once seemed impossible, yet they became reality. Similarly, WWE can’t entirely rule out Brock Lesnar’s return. If The Beast ever steps back into a WWE ring, several dream matches await him.
Gunther has long viewed Lesnar as a dream opponent. WWE reportedly scrapped their planned feud for WrestleMania XL after Lesnar’s name was linked to the scandal. Additionally, rising stars like Oba Femi and Jacob Fatu could also be intriguing dream matchups for the 47-year-old if he ever returns.
Furthermore, WWE could revisit rivalries with stars like CM Punk, John Cena, and Drew McIntyre, all of whom share a storied history with The Beast. However, it remains uncertain whether the 47-year-old will ever return to the Stamford-based promotion.
