The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, is back! WWE SummerSlam 2021 ended with an absolute shocker as the former world champion made his long-awaited return to WWE after over 16 months.

The main event of SummerSlam saw Roman Reigns successfully defend his Universal Championship against John Cena. Just when everyone thought the pay-per-view had ended, Lesnar's iconic theme song hit as The Beast Incarnate walked out, sporting his new look. He went on to confront Roman Reigns, who sensibly retreated.

As hinted by Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast, Brock Lesnar's SummerSlam return was WWE's answer to CM Punk's AEW Rampage debut the previous night.

The pro-wrestling world has been talking about Punk's All Elite status, and Lesnar returning tonight to confront Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman was a pretty good counter from WWE for all that hype.

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns is going to be an incredible feud

Ever since Reigns turned heel last year and joined forces with Paul Heyman, fans have wanted to see Brock Lesnar confront the two. Heyman has famously been Lesnar's advocate for most of his WWE career, which makes the current situation intriguing.

The look of disbelief on Roman Reigns', and more importantly on Paul Heyman's face, upon Lesnar's return, was amazing. The big question now is - who will Paul Heyman choose? Will he choose The Tribal Chief, or will he choose The Beast Incarnate?

Long-time rivals Reigns and Lesnar have faced each other on several occasions, including two WrestleMania main events.

However, things are completely different this time as Roman Reigns is the heel, and it appears Lesnar is the babyface. Fans will surely look forward to the fallout of all this drama on the upcoming episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
