Brock Lesnar is back in the news, but this time it is for his return to the UFC rather than the WWE. Lesnar made an appearance at UFC 226, challenging UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier to a match.

Lesnar cannot fight in the UFC for the next 6 months as he has to get back in the USADA testing pool (and pay a few fines), so he will only return to the UFC in January and not before that.

The Beast's last appearance in a WWE ring was at the Greatest Royal Rumble on 27, April 2018 where he once again defeated Roman Reigns, inside a steel cage. Lesnar is not scheduled to return to the WWE anytime soon, but what if he did return at this Sunday's Extreme Rules PPV?

Here are five scenarios that could happy on Lesnar's return to the WWE ring.


#1 Destroys both Reigns and Lashley after the match

The Lesnar-Reigns rivalry has been ongoing for quite a few years and Lesnar has reigned supreme over The Big Dog the last few times that the two got in a ring.

The last time that the two fought inside a WWE ring was at the Greatest Royal Rumble, which was also Lesnar's last appearance on WWE TV. It seems like the rivalry hasn't ended, and with Vince McMahon and co. adamant that Reigns is "The Guy" of WWE, we can see this happen once again.

Meanwhile, Lesnar and Lashley haven't crossed paths in the WWE as Lashley's first stint in the WWE was just after Lesnar left, and now is the first time that both Lashley and Lesnar are in the WWE at the same time.

Could Lesnar come out during Reigns and Lashley's match at Extreme Rules and destroy both of them, showing them that he's the main guy in the WWE and on RAW? This could possibly set-up a feud for SummerSlam, where the Universal title finally changes hands and Lesnar leaves WWE.

#2 Challenges Lashley to an MMA match

In a recent interview, Bobby Lashley admitted that he would love to face Brock Lesnar in the WWE and said, "Not necessarily using him (Reigns) as a stepping stone to get to Brock, but I know that's the guy I have to beat to get to Brock so I wanna have a great match and I want to show that I'm better."

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer recently predicted that a match between Lesnar and Lashley could happen, inside an octagon.

With UFC and MMA's popularity on the rise, and Lesnar and Lashley very capable MMA fighers, it would be great to see Lesnar challenge Lashley to an MMA-style match at Extreme Rules!

Lesnar could tell Reigns that he's done with him and that he wants a new challenge and points to Lashley. He could then challenge Lashley to an MMA match in the WWE!

#3 Paul Heyman turns on Lesnar

Since Lesnar's no-show, Heyman has had no role and hasn't been seen on television. Recent reports have indicated that Heyman is currently involved backstage and even wrote a segment on RAW this past week.

Perhaps Heyman could come out - or is on commentary - during the match between Reigns and Lashley, and after the match, talks disparagingly about Lesnar and offers his services to one of Reigns or Lashley.

Lesnar's music could hit and then The Beast could proceed to the ring and destroy Reigns/Lashley and then Heyman, setting up a match between one of them with Heyman involved somehow in the match.

#4 Interferes mid-way and becomes a triple threat match

Mid-way through the match between Reigns and Lashley, the familiar voice of Paul Heyman could come over the mic and indicate that his client would like to face the two of them and show them that he's still No. 1 on RAW.

While Reigns and Lashley are listening to Heyman, Lesnar could attack from behind and RAW GM Kurt Angle could make the match a triple threat match for the Universal title.

The match could end with a Lesnar win with Reigns getting pinned once more and set-up a match against Lashley at SummerSlam.

#5 Lesnar and Strowman interfere and chaos ensues

Braun Strowman has still not cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, and he could do it at Extreme Rules. After winning against Kevin Owens in a steel cage match, Strowman could get on the mic and demand that Lesnar come back to the WWE so that he can face him.

Strowman may stay by ringside for the entirety of the night - a-la John Cena at WrestleMania 34 - and like Cena, he may get his wish. Lesnar could come to the ring during Reigns and Lashley's match and destroy the two before signalling to Strowman to step into the ring.

That would be an incredible sight to see - Strowman, Reigns, Lashley and Lesnar in the same ring!
