The Beast Stirs: What Lesnar’s Return Means for WWE’s Future
The sudden return of Brock Lesnar to the WWE ring has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, a timely reminder that nothing is ever truly predictable. His attack on Oba Femi at Monday’s Raw was brutal and decisive, leaving many wondering if his retirement earlier this year was genuine or a ruse.
Lesnar’s return will have a significant impact on the upcoming WWE Clash in Italy event, where he will face off against Femi for the second time. This rematch now takes center stage on May 31, turning what was already shaping up to be a strong card into something truly special – a marquee event that’s sure to draw in fans from all over.
The addition of Lesnar’s match to the card raises questions about the status of other high-profile bouts, particularly Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the Undisputed WWE Championship. These two superstars have been on a collision course since their storylines began intersecting, but Lesnar’s return may overshadow what was shaping up to be an epic showdown.
The Tribal Combat Conundrum
Roman Reigns’ match against Jacob Fatu in a Tribal Combat stipulation has generated significant buzz. This no-holds-barred street fight will determine the new Tribal Chief, with Reigns’ prior experience making him a formidable opponent. However, Fatu’s refusal to acknowledge the OTC and continued assault on the Usos suggest he may have something up his sleeve.
The Rise of the Next Generation
The women’s championship build is another aspect of the card that deserves attention. Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill will be a thrilling matchup, with their respective storylines intersecting in an intriguing way. WWE creative has likely locked in the singles match for Italy after Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend, setting both women up for success – Ripley as the established enforcer champion and Cargill as the undefeated attraction who refuses to respect anyone’s pecking order.
What Lesnar’s Return Means for WWE’s Future
Lesnar’s return serves as a reminder that legends never truly retire in professional wrestling. His feud with Femi is far from over, and it remains to be seen if this will extend into SummerSlam or conclude in Italy. More broadly, Lesnar’s return raises questions about the status of other high-profile storylines – will Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther still be the main event? Will Roman Reigns emerge victorious against Jacob Fatu?
The WWE has always been a masterclass in storytelling, and Lesnar’s return is just another chapter in that ongoing saga. As we count down to Clash in Italy, one thing is certain: nothing will be as it seems, and surprises are guaranteed.
Lesnar’s return also highlights the cyclical nature of professional wrestling – legends rise and fall, only to rise again. WWE creative has cleverly built on its own history, drawing from past storylines to create something new and exciting for fans. The question now is what will happen next: will Lesnar’s feud with Femi extend into SummerSlam or conclude in Italy? Will Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther still be the main event?
The beast may have stirred, but it’s clear that WWE creative has carefully crafted this storyline to leave fans on the edge of their seats. As Clash in Italy approaches, one thing is certain: the wrestling world will never be the same again.

The real story here isn't just Lesnar's return, but how it affects the entire card in Italy. I'm worried that this rematch with Femi might overshadow some truly intriguing matches like Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the Undisputed Championship. Don't get me wrong, Lesnar is a draw, but what about the rest of these talented wrestlers who've been building towards something? Let's not forget about the Tribal Combat stipulation and its implications on Roman Reigns' storyline. This clash could easily become a showcase of Lesnar's dominance rather than an actual competitive card.

The WWE's financial calculus just got a lot more interesting with Lesnar's return. While his presence undoubtedly boosts ticket sales and merchandise revenue, it also risks cannibalizing from other high-profile bouts on the card. The key will be how effectively the company manages this shift in attention, potentially pricing out die-hard fans of Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther or Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu. WWE's booking team will need to carefully balance the allure of Lesnar against the investment already made in other storylines, lest they inadvertently create a situation where their biggest stars are competing for scraps.

The return of Brock Lesnar is all well and good, but WWE creative needs to carefully balance the spotlight on this marquee rematch with the build-up momentum for other high-profile bouts. The Rhodes-Gunther showdown has been months in the making, and Lesnar's sudden reemergence may steal thunder from what could be a career-defining match for one or both of these superstars. WWE must ensure that the main event doesn't overshadow the smaller but no less intriguing stories developing around Roman Reigns' Tribal Combat stipulation and Rhea Ripley's quest for women's championship gold.
