Brock Lesnar potentially returning to WWE is a conversation that refuses to go away despite his recent allegations. Wrestling analyst Sam Roberts doesn't think The Beast Incarnate will be back for SummerSlam this year, but former Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, might make his return.

The Head of the Table has been rumored to make his return at The Biggest Part of The Summer since WWE announced a blockbuster main event. The Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will defend his title Solo Sikoa, marking his first title defense against a member of The Bloodline other than Roman Reigns.

Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts was asked about the possibility of Brock Lesnar returning to reunite with the OG Bloodline to feud with the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline.

Despite being invested in the possible scenario, the WWE analyst doesn't think it's likely to happen anytime soon. However, Roberts does feel Reigns could turn up at SummerSlam on August 3:

"Man, can you imagine if Brock [Lesnar] were to join the new Bloodline? No, I think that would probably be too much right now. I think it'll be Roman [Reigns] that comes back at SummerSlam, Not Brock," Roberts said. [01:47:10 to 01:47:20]

WWE legend wants to manage Brock Lesnar

Paul Heyman has been seen as the greatest mouthpiece Brock Lesnar ever had in his entire career. However, with The Wiseman currently aligned with Roman Reigns, it is unlikely that the fans will see the two men work together anytime soon.

In a recent interview with Attitude Era podcast, WWE legend Sid Vicious expressed his desire to manage The Beast Incarnate as he thinks he would do a better job than Paul Heyman:

"Brock Lesnar, that's who I'd like to work with, you know, as a dream match today. Me and him would draw money. It just hit me right now, I would like to also be his manager. Because we had some things in common, people compare us. And I don't know why he doesn't do his own talking. He seems like he's pretty good when he does talk. But I think I'd be a much better introduction for him than Paul Dangerly was," he said.

The Wiseman was last seen on WWE television on the June 28 episode of SmackDown, which saw the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline take out Paul Heyman after he refused to acknowledge Sikoa as his Tribal Chief and paid the price.
