Shame that whoever it is returning tomorrow night is already going to be a disappointment because the Lesnar rumors are so rampant, anyone else showing up will only feel like a let down. Unless it is Austin returning to take Punk out (though I highly doubt that).
- H.M.
  
  Yep. Self induced overspeculated hype only to be disappointed is a common theme for fans. Can't blame the WWE; I blame the fans for expecting TOO MUCH.
  
  I still think it might be Jericho because of how masterfully he diverted the hype surrounding him onto Lesnar.

If it is Austin, he wouldn't use mind games the same goes for Lesnar. These two are know for just one thing and that is kicking can. Don't need no stinkin Video to tell people their return.
- Manny
  
  I think is the undertaker
  - craig
    
    i hope not. be creative for once wwe. no jericho no taker.

Brock would never return to the WWE, he's already backstabbed them twice now. BL's becoming a backstabbing SOB, just like Ric Flair.

As long it isn't Jericho with his 33rd big return. Jericho bores me now. Shouldn't be Taker either. If he had to wrestle now til Wrestlemania he would probably break. Maybe it's Matt Hardy!! LMAO
mathew30

could you imagien if he did return on the next wwe ppv. it would set tongues wagging saying he lost on purpose so he could retire and gain the pay packet etc. but i am quite sure it wont be him.

and anthony its next month ie 30 days not tomorrow

Brock could always return as the last man in the Royal Rumble
billy dilauro

my cousin and i think that chris jericho is returning because in the video it says that im coming to take whats rightfully mine. he could be returning because he would always say he was the best in the world so maybe he wants to get his nickname, best in the world

Would be cool if it was al snow

  Even if it was possible for Brock to return to WWE tomorrow night (which it's not) then why would WWE even want to do it? I mean you already got a guaranteed 1million+ buyrate with The Rock returning so why waste the return of Brock Lesnar?
  
  Brock's stock has never been higher due to his time fighting in the UFC (people like to say WWE made him, which is true in a way but he was a bigger draw in MMA than he ever was in WWE) So a Brock Lesnar return to a WWE ring is a guaranteed 1million+ buyrate for WrestleMania so why waste it on WM 28 when you already got The Rock?.
Marc

Lesnar's still under UFC contract, wun return soon probably!
Mark

I HOPE its not any of the above………………
And its Shane o Mac returning to bring back the attitude era or something and put an end to this PG crap……..
Its burning my eyes not to see a proper arse kickers………………….
- GODSENT83
  
  Then don’t tune in
Victor

Its Chris Jericho that will come 01/02/12 but I think lesnars time will come for the undertaker at wrestle mania

Y) year 2012
2) day 2
J) january

I do believe Brock will be back someday, but at this point its hard to believe. However if he is to return, it will be epic no doubt about it and I do believe that what Jericho said about Lesnar being the mystery is somewhat a cover up, let’s wait and see…….
Tim

This is what I think could happen
Lesnar returns this Monday and is behind all the vignettes… Jericho returns at the royal rumble wins it then faces punk at wrestlemania for the wwe championship
- EvilKevyn
  
  Yay, then Punk and Jericho could talk each other into submission.
  - sean
    
    That would be cool they are the best talkers in wwe history
    - EvilKevyn
      
      Yes, because there's not enough inane babble in wrestling anyway.

Probably Taker, maybe Lesnar, but I know Jericho WILL NOT come back because of the way he trashes WWE. Hope it's someone good, not just Brodus Clay with his return. And wasn't Brodus Clay supposed to be back a few months ago? If they waste promos on him, they need to get a slap to get more entertaining. Just saying that it's probably The Deadman!
- sean
  
  You ever think hes trashing wwe to cover it up?
Crane

Plz not Jericho again. I saw Lesnars Fight, a joke but true sadness after it. He’s it not!
The Taker returns at WM. Maybe it is Goldberg. Ooooohhh sorry, just kiddin.
