WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar has been away from the screen for over a year, but recent events have fueled speculation that he'll return post-RAW. Lesnar was originally set to make his comeback during the Men's Royal Rumble match earlier this year. However, those plans fell through when his name was reportedly added to Vince McMahon's lawsuit.

This resulted in WWE canceling his return plans, as well as all future appearances. Fans were quick to notice that WWE did not mention Brock Lesnar's name on television. Despite this, his former attorney, Paul Heyman, acknowledged him at this year's Hall of Fame ceremony.
In May, WWE commentator Michael Cole surprised fans by mentioning Lesnar during the King and Queen of The Ring premium live event. Kevin Owens also mentioned his name a few months ago on WWE SmackDown. Despite these mentions, Brock Lesnar has been absent for over a year, as WWE seems hesitant to bring him back until the legal issues are resolved.
Recently, however, WWE fans have noticed references to Brock Lesnar on RAW. These references were not a one-time occurrence, but occurred twice. This has led fans to believe that Lesnar is on the verge of a return.
