Brock Lesnar is on his way back to WWE television.

This is the word of Dave Meltzer, who writes in the Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online's latest Daily Update column that Lesnar is due to return to the company "very soon."

There is currently no word on a specific date for Lesnar, who has not wrestled for WWE since August 2023. That last bout concluded a three-match series against Cody Rhodes, whom Lesnar put over strongly, going 1-2 against 'The American Nightmare' at Backlash, Night of Champions, and SummerSlam 2023, with varying levels of clean and dirty finishes.

SummerSlam was a particularly impressive rub. Not only did Rhodes topple Lesnar to take their series, but Brock seemingly went off-script after the match by raising Cody's arm into the air in a show of respect atypical of 'The Beast Incarnate.'

Speculative minds may look towards 27 January's Royal Rumble 2024 premium live event as a potential return point for Lesnar, given the event's long-held tradition as a host of returns and debuts. As one of WWE's biggest names and a perennial contender, it'd stand to reason that the company would want Lesnar back before WrestleMania 40.
