After an extended hiatus from WWE, former World Champion, Brock Lesnar is expected to return.

The Wrestling Observer were first to report the news, and Dave Meltzer has since added to the report on Observer Radio by stating:

“At any time, yes. Maybe next week… I would think that this would not be the week to have Brock Lesnar return, given that this might be one of the lower rated shows, considering they went against the football game and the Emmy Awards. So, if he’s gonna return for the Rumble, next week would be the week. If he’s gonna return shortly after, then it could be a couple of weeks later. But he’s gonna be back. I would presume he’s in the Rumble, and I would presume that whatever angle he’s gonna do will be shot in the Rumble itself.”

Lesnar last wrestled at SummerSlam, where he was defeated by Cody Rhodes.
