Explosive Returns and Smoldering Feuds Anticipated at Royal Rumble: Big E Eyes Redemption Against Brock Lesnar
In a storm of anticipation surrounding the upcoming Royal Rumble, the WWE universe is buzzing with rumors of two major returns that could ignite the wrestling landscape once again. The absence of the formidable Brock Lesnar, following his loss to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023, has left fans yearning for the return of the former Universal Champion. As the Royal Rumble draws near, WWE Chief Creative Officer, Triple H, is rumored to be orchestrating Lesnar’s spectacular comeback on the grand stage.
However, the plot thickens as whispers of a deeply rooted vendetta resurface. Flashback to the WWE Day 1 Premium Live Event on January 1, 2022, where the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, stepped into the Universal Championship picture due to Roman Reigns’ battle with COVID-19. In a shocking turn of events, not only did Lesnar secure the championship, but he did so by pinning the reigning champion, Big E, in a match that also featured four other superstars.
Royal Rumble approaches, speculation is rife that Big E is eyeing redemption and revenge:
The embers of resentment have been smoldering in Big E’s heart ever since that fateful night. Now, as the Royal Rumble approaches, speculation is rife that Big E is eyeing redemption and revenge. Sources suggest that Big E might make a thunderous return to the Rumble, seeking to eliminate Lesnar and settle the score that has lingered for two long years. This potential clash promises to be more than a mere battle for supremacy; it could be the spark that kindles a colossal rivalry, setting the stage for an epic showdown at WrestleMania.
Amidst the fervor surrounding this rumored clash, questions loom over Big E’s physical condition. In March 2022, Big E suffered a severe neck injury during a match against Ridge Holland, fracturing his C1 and C6 vertebrae. However, after a successful surgery, the former WWE Champion has been on the path to recovery. The WWE universe eagerly awaits updates on Big E’s readiness for the Royal Rumble and whether he is prepared to step into the ring against the returning juggernaut, Brock Lesnar.

The former WWE Champion claimed he feels 100%, but a return to the ring is not yet guaranteed.
“I wish I had more information for you. Right now, there’s just really no timeline,” Big E said. “I’ve been to a few different doctors who have looked over my scans and whatnot … I don’t have any issues right now. I feel great. I feel 100%, but I broke my C1 in two places. It’s called a Jefferson fracture and because of the nature of the fracture, it just takes longer to heal. Initially, they told me three months, so I thought three months and I’ll be back to wrestling, but things ended up being more complex.”
