Hours before Seth Rollins faces LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event, his “oracle” Paul Heyman took to X to acknowledge Brock Lesnar’s birthday.
“It’s the birthday of the Beast,” Heyman wrote, sharing a photo of himself pointing at Lesnar, who is seen with the WWE Championship over his shoulder.
The post is likely to raise eyebrows. On the June 30 edition of Raw, Heyman hinted that Rollins was working on a secret plan. Before Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker faced off against Penta and Sami Zayn, Reed asked Heyman about the group’s missing leader.
“The Visionary is already on a jet right now, perfecting Plan B,” said Heyman.
Breakker interrupted before Heyman could explain, then the group marched to the ring without further comment.
Lesnar, 48, has not appeared on WWE programming in nearly two years. His last match was against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in 2023. He was expected to return in 2024, but plans reportedly changed after his name surfaced in a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant, accusing former chairman Vince McMahon of sexual abuse and trafficking.
In June, it was rumored that WWE had discussed adding Ethan Page or Ricky Saints to Rollins’ new stable on Raw. During the Great American Bash on Saturday afternoon, Saints lost to Page in a Falls Count Anywhere Match, fueling speculation that his time in NXT may be coming to an end.
Heyman’s post may be a misdirect, intended to draw attention to Lesnar while Rollins introduces a surprise ally. Then again, “Plan B” could refer to the birthday Beast himself — Brock Lesnar. It’s also possible Heyman was simply sending well wishes to his once-celebrated client while stirring up speculation ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
