Brock Lesnar Returns to Raw, Will Face Seth Rollins at WWE Battleground 2015 PPV

Wrestling fans knew it was only a matter of time before Brock Lesnar would show up in a WWE ring again. The "Beast Incarnate" returned to the company during Monday Night Raw on June 15.

WWE provided the news: 

WWE writer Kevin Sullivan also reminded fans of another star who will be back in action:

"

I don't know who I'm more excited to see back ... @HeymanHustle or Brock Lesnar. #Raw

— Kevin Sullivan (@SullivanBooks) June 16, 2015"

Lesnar was last seen in WWE the night after he lost the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31. After Rollins denied him an opportunity to win back the belt, Lesnar snapped, attacking the Raw announce crew and a poor cameraman:

Having Stephanie McMahon indefinitely suspend Lesnar for his actions was a smart way to write him off television. It explained why Lesnar couldn't appear on a full-time basis, while simultaneously building him up as more of a face for when he came back. Sooner or later, he'll get his revenge on Rollins and The Authority.

In a way, the entire world title picture has been in a bit of a holding pattern until Lesnar is ready to re-enter the frame. Putting him in title contention is almost a near certainty since there isn't another feud he could have right now that would provide him with the same kind of main event-level prestige.

He has already beaten John Cena and Triple H, he snapped The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak, The Rock is probably shooting another movie and CM Punk isn't coming back to WWE anytime soon.

It makes little sense to put the belt on a guy like Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose if he's just going to drop it to Lesnar this summer. A title reign like that would do more harm than good for an emerging star's career.

Having Lesnar take the World Heavyweight Championship from Rollins would wrap up that story arc and allow a new challenger—most likely Reigns—to rise. Many fans would love to see a rematch between Lesnar and Reigns after their great clash at WrestleMania:

Sheamus is a major wild card in this whole situation, though. The Money in the Bank briefcase holder can cash in at any time. Maybe he capitalizes on a weakened Lesnar similarly to how Rollins captured the World Heavyweight Championship.

Beating Lesnar would also be the shot in the arm Sheamus needs because he has done little of note since returning in March. Plus, Sheamus can be a great worker when he's on top of his game. Watching him and Lesnar beat the crap out of each other could prove to be a compelling match.

Whatever happens, it should be a lot of fun. Lesnar is one of the best performers in the company, and each of his appearances carries an added significance.

And now that he's back, fans should cherish every second of his return. Before you know it, he'll go back into hibernation until Royal Rumble/WrestleMania season.
