Here are three signs Brock Lesnar is returning to WWE at Night of Champions:
#3. Oba Femi is constantly provoking The Beast
Oba Femi has been riding on a red-hot momentum on Monday Night Raw in recent times. He is set to compete in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions. While this is already a major development in itself, The Ruler has also been taking shots at Brock Lesnar. Femi has been calling out The Beast Incarnate constantly for the past few weeks on Monday Night Raw, talking trash about the veteran every time.
In WWE, names are never dropped continuously without a massive structural payoff and Oba Femi calling out Lesnar is the ultimate breadcrumb trail. The 28-year-old isn’t just provoking The Beast Incarnate; he has been calling a calamity upon himself. Femi has been giving an open, aggressive invitation to one of the most ruthless competitors in sports entertainment. And when someone instigates Brock Lesnar, he is not the man to back down.
The fact that Oba Femi has been calling him out and provoking him constantly is a major sign that the former UFC star is bound to return. And what better way to humble the Nigerian powerhouse than by costing him his King of the Ring final match at Night of Champions? The PLE serves as the best possible way for Lesnar to see his revenge on Femi, and hence he is likely returning there.
#2. Saudi Arabia’s grandeur demands Brock Lesnar
Night of Champions is set to take place in Saudi Arabia and the premium live events there demand absolute star power. For years, Brock Lesnar has been one of the primary marquee attractions for the Saudi shows. He has competed in several high-profile matches there over the years. Even though Lesnar is not on the card this year at Night of Champions, WWE is still likely to book him in some capacity on the show due to his larger-than-life presence.
Night of Champions 2026 needs the historic jaw-dropping moment to define the evening. While full-time roster members hold down the weekly television matches, it is part-time icons like Brock Lesnar who provide the grand spectacle that fits Saudi Arabia’s blockbuster vision. Booking a surprise return has the potential to create a global viral social media buzz that would elevate the grandeur of Night of Champions and WWE never steps back from doing such things.
Hence, it’s another major indication that the company is bringing The Beast Incarnate to the upcoming premium live event as a surprise appearance to create a jaw-dropping moment in Riyadh. Lesnar could show up and play a major role that may carry far-reaching implications.
#1. Need to build his SummerSlam 2026 match
SummerSlam is regarded as WWE’s second-biggest event of the year and it is set to take place in Brock Lesnar’s home state of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Therefore, The Beast Incarnate competing at the two-night extravaganza seems inevitable. Night of Champions will serve as the final stop before SummerSlam and the timing is perfect to initiate a blockbuster rivalry or continue the existing ones to build matches for The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Currently, all signs point towards Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi at the summer spectacle. There is no better way to set up this match than by having The Beast Incarnate show up at Night of Champions and directly cost Femi the King of the Ring final. If Lesnar interferes, WWE can achieve multiple goals simultaneously. First, it would protect The Ruler from a clean loss, and then it would also heighten the drama of the prestigious tournament final.
Moreover, it would instantly give Oba Femi a sympathetic yet ferocious motive for revenge. Weeks of build-up and aggression, coupled with his King of the Ring loss, could finally pave the way for his third clash with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Therefore, the fact that the storyline demands Lesnar’s interference is yet another major sign that he is returning to WWE at Night of Champions.
