A recent photo has surfaced online of Lesnar at a gym. He looks bigger than ever, as Lesnar is wearing a tight-fitting shirt in the picture.
The most noticeable change to his look is his hair. Lesnar has recently been seen with longer hair than he ever donned in WWE or UFC. It goes past his shoulders, and he looks like a Viking.
Since making his return to WWE in 2021, Lesnar has been sporting a different look. He returned with a ponytail, and he would dress in jeans and cowboy hats for promos.
Will Brock Lesnar ever return to WWE from hiatus?
It is unknown if Lesnar will ever return to WWE. He is currently on an indefinite hiatus. And while no one has completely ruled out a return, there has been no concrete evidence suggesting he will.

His hiatus is due to the WWE star being linked to the Vince McMahon-Janel Grant lawsuit. WWE immediately removed him from their creative plans, and he has not been seen since August 2023.
Lesnar's last match was against Cody Rhodes at the 2023 SummerSlam PLE. He lost in what was the rubber match of their feud. Most expected him to come back in time for the Road to WrestleMania 40.
However, that did not happen. He is usually a part of the Royal Rumble PLE, but he did not come back there. He also missed out on WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Throughout his career, Lesnar is a 10-time world champion. He won the WWE Championship seven times, and he is also a three-time Universal Champion. He has also won two Royal Rumbles, a Money in the Bank ladder match, and the King of the Ring tournament in 2002.

After his return in 2021, Lesnar reignited his longstanding feud with Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. During their feud, Lesnar won the WWE Championship, losing it to Reigns at WrestleMania 38. This created the Undisputed WWE Championship that John Cena currently holds.
His last feuds were against Bobby Lashley and Rhodes. The former never got a decisive end, and he lost his feud against Rhodes in 2023.

Drew McIntyre Reveals Something Vince McMahon Refused To Let Him Do
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Drew McIntyre has offered a detailed and fascinating comparison between the creative processes of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and current Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque. Speaking on the Impaulsive podcast, the former WWE Champion explained how the change in leadership has allowed him to develop a more complex and authentic character. McIntyre described Triple H's approach as more "modern thinking," which contrasts sharply with Vince's more singular and protective vision for his character. Vince's "Warrior" McIntyre explained that under McMahon's creative direction, his character was often presented in a more traditional, one-dimensional "warrior" archetype. He believes Vince's vision for him was meant to be protective, but it ultimately became limiting. "For Vince, I think for me, personally, he had a certain image of me, and he was always looking to protect me as this warrior character," McIntyre said (H/T to "And if I want to try something outside the box and stuff I'm doing now, like, for me personally, it probably wouldn't happen just because he was like, 'No, this is my Drew. This is my warrior. This is how I see it.'" This singular vision dates back to McIntyre's first WWE run, when McMahon personally dubbed him "The Chosen One," a label that ultimately failed to connect with the audience and led to his eventual release from the company.

WWE/Getty Images More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match Creative Freedom With Triple H Under the creative direction of Triple H, McIntyre feels he has been given the freedom to be himself and explore more nuanced aspects of his personality. This has led directly to his current, critically acclaimed character who often blurs the line between heel and babyface. "Hunter is very much of the modern thinking," he explained. "We're going to try something different. We're going to let you... be yourself, and let this personality that he knew I had shine." He pointed to the success of The Bloodline saga as the prime example of the deep, layered storytelling that is now flourishing in WWE. "WWE shouldn't be black and white," McIntyre said. "We can grow these deep, layered, complex characters... I've been able to develop this McIntyre character where people know me inside and out." Learning From A Legend During the conversation, McIntyre also shared a classic story about receiving some cryptic but valuable advice from The Undertaker when he was a young superstar. He recalled asking for feedback after a match and being told something he didn't understand for years. "He was like, 'Stop playing the wrestler and be the wrestler,'" McIntyre recalled The Undertaker saying. "What the f--- does that mean?... It took so long to realize, 'Oh, he's saying, I'm trying too hard. I'm not present.'" More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Toronto Star bestsellers: Drew Hayden Taylor's play ‘Cottagers and Indians' joins fiction lists
Clearly, summer is a time for rediscovery. How else to explain how a Canadian book that has never made the Star's bestseller lists suddenly popped up this week in both the original and Canadian fiction rankings, at No. 5 and No. 2 respectively. I can't say why 'Cottagers and Indians' — the book version of a play by author and humourist Drew Hayden Taylor , first published in 2019 — has lately captured readers' attention. Suffice to say it has. In the play — inspired by a real-life dispute — Hayden Taylor dramatizes a tussle over land and water rights in Ontario cottage country between an Indigenous man and a Toronto woman. Hayden Taylor, who is Ojibway from Curve Lake First Nation, isn't the only Indigenous author with an older book on the lists. Jesse Wente 's memoir 'Unreconciled: Family, Truth, and Indigenous Resistance,' which is in part about growing up in Toronto the son of an American father and an Anishinaabe mother, is back on the original non-fiction list at No. 6 and the Canadian list at No. 5. It's the book's first appearance on original non-fiction since September 2021, although it was a regular presence on Canadian non-fiction that year. Hayden Taylor has even more company on the Canadian fiction list, where Waubgeshig Rice 's 'Moon of the Crusted Snow' (2018) returns at No. 6; Jessica Johns ' 'Bad Cree' (2023) at No. 8; and 'Medicine Walk' (2014) by the late Richard Wagamese , at No. 10.
