WWE Royal Rumble 2021: 10 Surprise Entrants We Could See
3. Brock Lesnar
It was reported shortly after Brock Lesnar's WWE Championship defeat to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 that 'The Beast Incarnate' may not return to television until the pandemic eases off. Five months later, Lesnar technically became a free agent when his WWE contract expired. Tony Khan has since refused to comment on potentially recruiting Lesnar for AEW, a UFC return has been dismissed, and Paul Heyman has stated that Brock may be enticed back "if the money is right and business is solid." Speculation abound!
No concrete reports have emerged suggesting Lesnar has signed a new deal. It's also quite believable that Brock would want to relax in his Canadian home, enjoying the quiet country lifestyle while COVID-19 rules the world, not wanting to expose himself to the stresses of travelling during a global health crisis.
Still, it's unlikely that any organisation will open its wallet for Brock the way Vince McMahon has since first bringing him back in 2012. There'll come a time when the WWE Chairman and CEO puts the money down, Brock will ink the paper, and his path of domination will recommence.
If Lesnar does show up, expect him to win it too.
