Did Paul Heyman tease Brock Lesnar's WWE return?
Everyone has been wondering whether or not Brock Lesnar will return to WWE, and his former advocate, Paul Heyman, may have teased it.
However, fans are speculating about the 'Beast Incarnate's' return once again due to Heyman's latest post. He wished Lesnar a happy birthday on Saturday, July 12, 2025, hours before Saturday Night's Main Event. 'It's the Birthday of the Beast!' Heyman wrote to go along with the picture of them together in 2022, while Lesnar was WWE Champion.
Ultimately, Lesnar did not end up coming back to the squared circle at the event. Still, there are a few weeks to go before the first-ever SummerSlam takes place. Lesnar's return would grab attention given his controversial past.
It is also possible Paul Heyman was just wishing his friend a happy birthday. They worked closely together for years, and Lesnar's rise was partially due to Heyman.
Will Brock Lesnar ever return to WWE?
As of now, there looks to be no definitive indication that Lesnar is coming back to WWE. He has been on an indefinite hiatus since SummerSlam in 2023 after he lost to Cody Rhodes.
There were plans for him to come back at the Royal Rumble in January 2024. However, he was linked to the Janel Grant-Vince McMahon lawsuit, which scrapped any plans for him
In the months since, WWE has occasionally referenced him on commentary and in promos. But he has not come back yet, and he may never.
Throughout his career, Lesnar was a 10-time world champion. He had a record-setting 504-day run as Universal Champion, which would later be toppled by Roman Reigns.
His return in 2021 saw Lesnar change up his character for the first time in years. He returned as a babyface as he pursued Reigns' Universal Championship.
After that feud, Lesnar had a brief feud with Bobby Lashley. He then turned heel for a trilogy of matches against Rhodes. After losing to Rhodes, he raised his arm, seemingly passing the torch to the 'American Nightmare' and turning face again. However, he has not been seen since then, so it is unclear where his character stands.

Eva Longoria's Tequila Brand Involved In Bitter Legal Battle With Famous Supermodel's Family
has found herself in hot legal drama as her tequila brand, Casa Del Sol, has been dragged to court by supermodel Brinkley's son's company, Rove, for $2 million. According to court documents, the actress's brand has failed to hold up its end of the bargain in a multi-year advertising campaign deal. Longoria's company is aware of the legal trouble brewing and has taken up immediate action by launching its own investigation into the matter. Eva Longoria's Casa Del Sol Allegedly Failed To Release Payments Due For Advertising Deal With Rove Longoria's Casa Del Sol sought to further promote its business by signing an agreement with Rove, a ride-sharing service co-founded by Jack Brinkley-Cook. Casa Del Sol agreed to pay for advertising campaigns to be displayed on Rove cars in The Hamptons, Aspen, Palm Beach, and other targeted locations. However, as confirmed by Page Six, the actress's brand has not completed the payments due. According to court documents obtained, Casa Del Sol had payments overdue in November and December 2023, which also extended to January 1, 2024. However, when the supermodel's son's ride-hailing service reached out to the tequila brand about the issue, they allegedly only received empty promises. Rove eventually suspended the advertising campaigns in January 2024 after it became clear that no payment was forthcoming from Longoria's brand. Notably, while the "Desperate Housewives" actress is Casa Del Sol's co-founder, she was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit. The Tequila Brand Has Spent Substantial Money On Other Promotional Events Part of Rove's displeasure with Casa Del Sol is that the tequila brand had been hosting lavish parties and events while still owing their alleged payment. "Despite Casa Del Sol's repeated assurances to Rove that those payments would be forthcoming. Casa Del Sol was, at the same time, spending lavishly on extravagant promotional junkets, parties, and other events — Casa Del Sol ultimately failed and refused to pay," the lawsuit read. Agreeably, Casa Del Sol hosted a star-studded event with big names such as DJ Diplo, Mario Carbone, and Rocky Barnes in 2023. The lavish event was held in a rented boutique hotel in Aspen, and no expense was spared. That same year, the tequila brand hosted popular TikTok influencer Alix Earle and her friends in the Hamptons, spending a substantial amount of money to rent a mansion for their stay. Rove Has Allegedly Incurred Significant Costs From Its Deal With Casa Del Sol Rove's lawsuit against Casa Del Sol further states that the company has taken legal action because it has incurred major financial losses as a result of the advertising deal. The ride-hailing brand poured in money of its own to procure unused vehicles, technical infrastructure, and advertising materials needed for the campaign. The brand also prepared for the campaign by hiring drivers, staff, and the manpower needed to put the campaign together. The company allegedly stands to lose a substantial amount of money should there be no restitution from Longoria's brand. Therefore, it is seeking $2 million for compensation. The Actress's Tequila Brand Is Treating The Matter With 'Utmost Seriousness' As it stands, Casa Del Sol is aware of the impending trouble and its implications and is taking it seriously. The brand's lawyer, Andrew Bochner, said the company is already looking into it. "The Company had already commenced an investigation, and is currently reviewing these matters with the utmost seriousness it deserves," Bochner said. "We are exploring all available options, and intend to respond through the appropriate channels," he added. Eva Longoria No Longer Resides In The U.S. Full-Time Longoria's legal drama comes barely nine months after she revealed that she now spends most of her time between Spain and Mexico. As reported by The Blast, there was speculation that the actress's decision to move was fueled by President Donald Trump's re-election. However, she cleared the air, saying that her decision was mostly because of work. "Will you please let them know I didn't move out of the United States because of [President-elect Donald] Trump," she said. At the time, the TV star was abroad working on the show, "Searching For Mexico," and "Land of Women," an Apple TV+ series.
