6 Former WWE Superstars who could make their surprise return in 2021

#4 Former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar walked away from WWE following his loss to Drew McIntyre back at WrestleMania in April and has since allowed his contract to expire.

This means that the former world champion is no longer under any obligation to return to WWE, but he could decide to make his return when COVID-19 is no longer seen as an issue.

Lesnar will want to exact some revenge on Drew McIntyre after his championship loss, but rematch clauses are no longer automatic in WWE, which means that The Beast will be forced to earn his rematch.

At present, reports suggest that Lesnar won't return to WWE until fans are allowed into the arena, which could be as early as the Royal Rumble.

One way for Brock Lesnar to ensure some revenge against the Scottish star could be to make his return at the Royal Rumble and win the chance to face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania.

Rumors suggest that the plan is currently for McIntyre and Lesnar to collide at WrestleMania in some way. This seems as though it could be the simplest way to insert Lesnar back into the storyline.
