Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE programming since August. However, he is expected to return soon, just as the road to WrestleMania gets underway.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that Lesnar will be back on WWE television very soon. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer said that the return is expected at any time, and it could happen as early as next week ahead of WWE Royal Rumble. Meltzer noted that the Royal Rumble match could potentially set up Lesnar’s next program.

Lesnar has not appeared since WWE SummerSlam on August 5. There, Cody Rhodes beat him to end their trilogy, which began at WWE Backlash and continued at Night of Champions.

WrestleZone will monitor the situation and provide more information as it becomes available.
