Today’s wrestling news kicks off with a major update regarding Brock Lesnar’s status in WWE. Contrary to recent rumors suggesting Brock Lesnar had been banned or erased from WWE due to his association with the Vince McMahon allegations, Triple H, WWE’s head of creative, confirmed that this is not the case. Lesnar fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as his return to the ring remains a possibility.
During the WrestleMania 40 post-show press conference, Triple H addressed Brock Lesnar’s status directly, stating, “At one point there was a conversation with Brock about Royal Rumble quite a long time ago. Right now, Brock is at home being Brock. We’ll see where that leads to from here. His status is the same as it has been before. Brock is not gone from WWE; he’s just home being Brock.”
This revelation came after Sami Zayn dethroned Gunther as the Intercontinental Champion on night one of WrestleMania 40. The original plan was for Gunther to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, with Lesnar making a return at the 2024 Royal Rumble to kickstart their feud. However, plans were put on hold due to Lesnar’s alleged connection to McMahon’s scandal. Triple H’s statement now confirms that Lesnar is not banned or erased from WWE, and his name was even mentioned during Paul Heyman’s 2024 Hall of Fame speech, further indicating his potential return.
In other news from WrestleMania 40, The Rock and Roman Reigns teamed up to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, with Reigns and The Rock emerging victorious. The focus now shifts to a potential showdown between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Championship.
Adding to the drama, insider reports suggest The Rock might perform at SummerSlam 2024 and the Saudi show in November, with potential matches against Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. WrestleMania 41 might feature the long-awaited Reigns vs. Rock match, but fans could see The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes sooner.
WrestleMania 40 also saw Drew McIntyre dethrone Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, only for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and take the title from McIntyre. This, along with other thrilling moments, made WrestleMania 40 an unforgettable event.
Finally, breaking news suggests Roman Reigns has officially retired from WWE following his loss to Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Championship. Reports indicate Reigns planned to retire once his title run ended, aiming to move on to Hollywood, partly due to underlying health issues. This retirement means the dream match between Reigns and The Rock won’t happen, but it opens the door for Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock in future matches.
As the WWE universe processes these significant developments, fans are invited to share their thoughts on Brock Lesnar’s potential return, WrestleMania 40 outcomes, and Roman Reigns’ retirement in the comments below. Stay tuned for more updates and reactions from the world of wrestling.
