After being off television for a month, Lesnar returned during the May 18th 2026 edition of RAW. As Oba Femi entered the ring for his open challenge segment, Lesnar attacked Femi from behind and laid him out with multiple F5s.

In a backstage segment, Paul Heyman said Lesnar was retired, but then offered General Manager Adam Pearce a contract for the “biggest rematch” in history at Clash in Italy.
