Brock Lesnar has never been a stranger to chaos. For over two decades, he has been the human hurricane of combat sports — a one-man natural disaster leaving broken bodies, shattered expectations, and stunned arenas in his wake. That’s why his 2025 return to the WWE was supposed to be a triumphant reset, a thunderous reminder of why “The Beast Incarnate” has been one of the most dominant forces the industry has ever seen.
Instead, it’s been… well, rough.
Lesnar’s comeback has been marked by inconsistency, storyline turbulence, and an in-ring presence that — for the first time in his career — seems just a step behind the thunder he once brought effortlessly. Fans aren’t used to this version of Brock, and neither, it seems, is Brock himself.
The first warning sign came on night one of his return. Lesnar’s re-debut pop was massive, but the match that followed lacked the signature explosiveness that defined his earlier runs. He still looked powerful, but not unstoppable. Still intimidating, but not invincible. The Beast had ring rust — and in the world of WWE, where momentum is everything, that rust doesn’t stay hidden for long.
From there, the setbacks continued. Lesnar’s booking has felt strangely hesitant, as though creative is unsure how to position him in a rapidly evolving main event landscape. Younger stars, faster and hungrier than ever, have begun filling the gaps he once dominated. And while Lesnar’s aura remains formidable, the wrestling world has changed since he last suplexed his way through half the roster. Fans now crave layered storytelling, long-term feuds, and emotional investment — areas where Lesnar’s historically sporadic schedule has worked against him.
Even more surprising has been the reaction online. Social media, once a place where Lesnar was discussed with an almost mythic reverence, has been split: some fans are thrilled to see him back in any capacity, while others question whether this run is diluting his legacy. The debates have been loud, passionate, and sometimes ruthless — much like Lesnar himself, but without the F-5s.
Still, it’s far too early to count out Brock Lesnar. If his career has taught the world anything, it’s that he thrives in situations where people doubt him. Every setback he has ever faced — in WWE, UFC, or anywhere in between — has been followed by a violent correction. That’s why many believe this stuttering start is simply the prologue to a far more explosive chapter.
Lesnar is a competitor who adapts, evolves, and finds new ways to dominate. Whether 2025 becomes a forgettable misfire or the beginning of something spectacular depends on what comes next. If The Beast reclaims even a fraction of the brutality that built his legend, this rocky return will be remembered not as a decline, but as the storm before the storm.
