Brock Lesnar suffered another big defeat in his career last Saturday at WWE SummerSlam 2023. The Beast Incarnate lost the rubber match of his feud against Cody Rhodes. After the match, Lesnar even praised Rhodes and unexpectedly raised his hand.
According to rumors, Lesnar will disappear from WWE for some time now. He will not compete at the next premium live event – Payback 2023. However, with WWE expected to make another trip to Saudi Arabia later this year, it should not be a surprise if they bring Brock Lesnar back around October.
In this listicle now, we will glance at the four possible storylines for Lesnar when he returns to WWE next.
1. Lesnar goes after Gunther’s WWE Intercontinental Championship
Triple H has booked Lesnar like a mid-card Superstar ever since he became the head of creative.

While The Beast never goes after the mid-card titles, it should not be a surprise if WWE asks him to elevate Gunther to the next level by challenging him for the Intercontinental Championship.
2. Lesnar steps up as a surprise tag team partner for Sami Zayn
Lesnar has had a light-hearted relationship with Sami Zayn in the past. Perhaps, WWE can book him in a fun angle with Sami in Saudi Arabia, where he can step up as his tag team partner for a one-off match instead of Kevin Owens, who is currently injured.
3. Brock Lesnar announces retirement from WWE
Lesnar had silently retired from WWE in 2020 before making a return in 2021. It looks like the feuds for Lesnar have exhausted, and WWE can book him in a retirement storyline soon.
4. Brock Lesnar tries to put Drew McIntyre over again

Drew McIntyre’s career graph has gone down after Clash at the Castle 2022. The Scottish Warrior teased a heel turn after losing at SummerSlam. Perhaps, he can turn heel again and get a Lesnar rub to elevate himself to a whole new level on RAW.
