Brock Lesnar, a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling, has made a significant impact on WWE throughout his career.
The name of Brock Lesnar was unexpectedly brought up in the Janel Grant harassment case, casting a negative light on his public image and leading to the cancellation of his plans with WWE. Initially scheduled to participate in the Road to WrestleMania 40, this is now impossible due to the seriousness of the situation. However, a veteran of WWE believes that Lesnar may find opportunities in Japan for his future endeavors.
During a conversation on the podcast “83 weeks w/Eric Bischoff,” it was suggested that there is little chance of Lesnar returning to WWE. The host, Conrad Thompson, made a compelling argument, stating that Lesnar has been using both WWE and UFC to his advantage for years. However, now that both companies coexist, there is a possibility that Lesnar may choose to distance himself from the world of wrestling and focus on his private life.
Bischoff also mentioned the potential for Lesnar to find success in Japan, emphasizing the cultural differences that may allow him to go unnoticed. While he did not specifically mention NJPW, he noted that the Japanese wrestling scene does not receive the same level of media attention as other promotions. Bischoff envisions a scenario where Lesnar could be approached by a Japanese organization and offered a substantial amount of money to perform there.
It has been reported that Lesnar was originally planned to make a return at the Royal Rumble in 2024. His appearance would have included eliminating four wrestlers before ultimately being eliminated himself. Following the Rumble, Lesnar’s storyline would have continued with a match against Rey Mysterio at the Elimination Chamber event in Perth, 2024. Finally, Lesnar would have competed for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40.
The possibility of Brock Lesnar leaving WWE has been a topic of discussion for quite some time. The allegations against him have only fueled speculation that he may never return due to the damage to his reputation. In light of this, Eric Bischoff sees a potential future for Lesnar that aligns with his private nature and lack of interest in reclaiming his fame or redeeming himself.
During the podcast, Bischoff suggested that Lesnar would likely continue pursuing his farming hobby instead of seeking a wrestling comeback. He speculated that with his financial stability, Lesnar may choose to invest in another farm or a John Deere tractor. Bischoff concluded that Lesnar has no need for a resurrection and is content focusing on his life outside of wrestling.
