A couple of weeks ago, fans spotted the wrestling champion in a completely new look. Some termed him a pure character from the Vikings, leading to speculations of the wrestler rejoining the WWE.

However, it is easier said than done. According to multiple media reports, Lesnar can return to the WWE ring only after getting clearance from the league's legal team. If not, his bout with Cody Rhodes at the Summerslam edition of 2023 will be considered his final appearance at the WWE.

Months after winning the NCAA Wrestling Championships in 2000, Lesnar was contacted by the World Wrestling Federation. Once he agreed to the developmental contract, the WWF assigned him to the Ohio Valley Wrestling territory. Lesnar finally made his televised debut for the WWE in 2002, and he shocked everyone by defeating Dwayne Johnson, aka 'The Rock,' to win the WWE undisputed championship, becoming the youngest champion to do so.
