However, with his return, The Beast Incarnate has unretired himself by attacking Femi. Just like the fans, General Manager Adam Pearce was shocked as he rushed to the officials, asking for Lesnar or Paul Heyman, wanting to know why he was back after he had filed retirement papers for him.
The Oracle told Pearce that Lesnar is still retired, but he wants to get Femi back and handed him a signed contract from The Beast Incarnate for a rematch against Oba Femi at Clash in Italy 2026.
That being said, in this article, we take a look at three reasons why Brock Lesnar returned to Monday Night RAW:
#3. To exact revenge on Oba Femi
Femi dominated The Next Big Thing throughout their Road to WrestleMania 42. Then, ultimately defeated the Ruthless Aggression era legend clean under five minutes at WrestleMania 42 and set himself up as an unstoppable force.
Since retiring The Beast Incarnate, The Ruler has been stuck in a loop, and he was looking for new challengers and was holding open challenges. Tonight, as he was headed to the ring for his open challenge, Lesnar returned and dismantled him, and now two would compete in a rematch at the Clash in Italy 2026 premium live event.
One of the reasons that may have pushed Lesnar to unretire and return to hunt Femi was to take revenge for the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Oba at the Showcase of the Immortals, and to exact the revenge, which may bring him back for one more match, making things more thrilling. There is nothing more vicious than a vengeful version of the Beat Incarnate, and his dominating combat sports career speaks for itself.
#2. He never announced his retirement
One of the most important takeaways from The Beast Incarnate’s premature retirement at WrestleMania 42 was that Brock Lesnar never officially announced his retirement; he just made symbolic gestures hinting at an uncertain future and at ending his professional wrestling stint with the Stamford-based promotion.
That said, technically, the multi-time WWE champion has never officially announced his retirement, which was the reason he returned on the March 18th episode of WWE’s flagship show to continue his sports entertainment juggernaut run, and continue his saga with the former WWE NXT Champion, and their facing each other at the upcoming premium live event is just the next phase in their rivalry.
#1. To sell tickets for the WWE Clash in Italy
The Stamford-based promotion is once again going overseas to host yet another international premium live event in Europe. The European fans have earned a reputation as one of the best crowds in the world for WWE events, with their chants and roars getting creative and loud.
To sell out the house, World Wrestling Entertainment needed some big names they could milk for big profits from the international PLE, which has a massive fanbase.
Triple H and his creative crew have already compiled two massive matches for the card. First, Cody Rhodes will make his first title defense after WrestleMania 42 against Gunther, who has been on a massive wave of momentum.
Moreover, on the red brand, a Tribal Combat Match was officially booked between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu with the World Heavyweight Championship and Tribal Chief’s title on the line, raising the stakes even more in their ongoing Bloodline saga.
Adding Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi 2 was indeed a trump card; the company was saving for the right moment, and given the reception the WWE gets from the European crowd, the Clash in Italy was a perfect card for this contest.
