Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar could return to television as soon as Monday night and he's set to be a part of major storylines going forward.
5 Potential Matches For WWE Battleground
There were rumors circulating last week that The Beast could make a comeback on RAW this week from Cleveland and while the WWE hasn't advertised him, Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that it doesn't mean he won't be there.
The WWE could bring Lesnar in as a surprise alongside his manager Paul Heyman this week to kick off his summer arc. Lesnar is slated to also compete at the July 4 live event in Tokyo, at Battleground on July 19 and at SummerSlam on Aug. 23.

WWE.com has the following dates listed for Lesnar upon his return, starting with next week's edition of the flagship show:
--June 22 RAW in Indianapolis
--July 4 WWE Network special in Tokyo
--July 6 RAW in Chicago
--July 13 RAW in Atlanta
--July 19th Battleground in St. Louis
--July 20th RAW in Kansas City
--Aug. 3 RAW in San Jose
--Aug. 17 RAW in Minneapolis
Though this week's RAW isn't included, the WWE could pull a swerve on its fans.
Lesnar hasn't been seen on WWE television since the RAW after WrestleMania 31 when he went crazy and Stephanie McMahon levied a storyline indefinite suspension and a fine on him.
Lesnar's last match was against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31 on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in the Bay Area and saw Seth Rollins cash-in his Money in the Bank contract to win the title by pinning Reigns.
The former WWE and UFC Heavyweight Champion's main event at WrestleMania concluded a great year for him that saw him end The Streak of The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX and then dominate John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2014.
Lesnar then held the title for 224 days before his reign came to an end.
It's uncertain what his role will be upon returning, but it's safe to say he'll be addressing Rollins after he won his title without pinning him. Rollins and Randy Orton are two of the names that have popped up as rumored SummerSlam opponents for Lesnar, but anything can happen.
Lesnar is getting set to return to the WWE in what should be one of the more compelling storylines in the company this summer.
