Top WWE star and pro wrestling veteran Brock Lesnar made a surprising return to the company at last month’s SummerSlam premium live event. He appeared after the main event, which featured Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes facing off against 17-time World Champion John Cena. Lesnar attacked Cena, delivering a devastating F5. He then returned to the ring at last weekend’s WrestlePalooza, where he again dominated Cena.
During a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WrestleVotes Radio on WrestleBinge, hosts JoeyVotes and TC discussed WWE’s future plans for Lesnar, including his attendance at upcoming premium live events. It was revealed that WWE has Lesnar internally listed for the 2026 Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 42 in April. Creative plans are reportedly being developed with the expectation that he will participate in these events. Additionally, there were rumors from Bodyslam.net suggesting that WWE is planning a major match between Lesnar and Bron Breakker at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
The WWE Royal Rumble 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. WrestleMania 42 will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
