WWE may be pulling Brock Lesnar back into action earlier than originally planned following Seth Rollins injuryand all signs point to Bron Breakker being the one to benefit.
Rollins was recently pulled from WWEs Supershow tour in Japan due to a confirmed shoulder injury, and backstage sources now believe surgery may be on the table. With top-level plans in flux, WWE may need to call in The Beast himself ahead of schedule to fill the void.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer addressed the situation and floated Lesnars name as someone WWE could pivot toespecially as a major figure to put over a rising star like Breakker.
Lesnar had previously only been internally booked for WarGames, the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, and WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. But if Rollins is sidelined long-term, that plan could get fast-tracked. According to Meltzer, a WrestleMania feud isnt the only thing WWE may have on the table. He pointed to Cody Rhodes as another potential opponent for Lesnar.
With CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns all entangled in separate top-tier storylines, WWE might be looking at Lesnar as the bridge to tie together some major pieces heading into 2026. And given Bron Breakkers meteoric rise and the way hes already been booked post-Crown Jewel, a Lesnar match could be the companys next big passing of the torch moment.
Nothing has been made official yet, but the fact that Lesnar is even being discussed again for TV in 2025outside his Rumble and Mania datessays a lot about how WWE is adjusting on the fly after Rollins removal.
WWE has the pieces for something big. Whether its Bron Breakker, Cody Rhodes, or another name entirely, the stage could be set for Lesnars early return to play a pivotal role in reshaping the main event picture.
