Last weekend 'The Beast Incarnate' made a shocking return to the WWE.
Night two of Summerslam in New Jersey ended with Brock Lesnar who tarts the recent comments from Daniel Cormier to make a comeback.
The former UFC champion has not been seen in the ring for two years and his return was not predicted by many after controversy outside the Ring had led to his plans of 2024 that were wiped out of the schedule.
While Lesnar achieved incredible things in the Octagon, his MMA career soon took a decline after he had sustained several major losses while he fought against serious injuries.
In 2019 he was able to take revenge for one of those defeats since he returned to WWE and his status as one of the top stars of the promotion.

Brock Lesnar defeated Cain Velasquez in just over two minutes in a rematch of UFC 121
At UFC 121 in 2010, Kaine Velasquez destroyed Brock Lesnar to bring the rule of the heavyweight champion to a brutal end.
Velasquez would eventually follow his former enemy to WWE after he had cut his teeth at the beginning of the year in the Mexican promotion AAA where he was impressive for someone who was at such an early stage of their training.
It was not long before WWE saw the potential to have the former UFC champion crossover and in October 2019, the same year he debuted in AAA, Velasquez Lesnar attacked to set up a WWE champion match.
The two men met at WWE's Crown Jewel event in Riyad later, where fans were amazed to see the game for just over two minutes.
Despite the promotion that set up a rivalry between the two former opponents who could have been interesting with Velasquez who already proved that he was capable of the ring, he was not offended before he was submitted by the defending champion.
The match was planned by WWE fans, just like another showcase -matchup on the map that Tyson Fury opposed Braun Strowman.
The WWE -Run of Cain Velasquez was cut incredibly short by injuries
With fans who wondered why WWE would book such a short match between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez who apparently immediately killed their rivalry, a statement was reported.
The newsletter from the wrestling observer stated that Velasquez had fought against a knee injury and although he had worked with a knee brace since he arrived in WWE, the injury was worse than expected and he needed surgery.
WWE was still planning to have the former UFC Heavyweight Champion return to the Royal Rumble of the following year, but he suffered from more injury setbacks before he was released in April 2020 because of the promotion that budget reductions made during the COVID-19 Pandemie.
