WWE Planning Something Big for Brock Lesnar? New Update Hints at Major 2026 Twist
Brock Lesnar’s WWE comeback in late summer 2025 shocked fans, and new developments suggest his 2026 run could be even bigger than expected.
After staying away from the ring for nearly two years, “The Beast Incarnate” made a dramatic return during the closing moments of SummerSlam 2025. Lesnar attacked 17-time world champion John Cena right after Cena was defeated by Cody Rhodes in the main event, instantly putting himself back at the center of WWE’s biggest storylines.
Lesnar later faced Cena at the massive Wrestlepalooza event in September, delivering one of the most one-sided and humiliating defeats of Cena’s career. The result surprised many fans, especially since Cena is currently in what is believed to be the final phase of his legendary career.
Brock Lesnar Set for Major WWE TV Return
WWE has officially confirmed that Brock Lesnar will appear on the February 23 episode of Monday Night Raw at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The company announced the news through its official X account, immediately creating buzz among fans about what he might do next.
Lesnar is expected to be a key figure throughout the 2026 WWE season. Early plans reportedly point toward a possible WrestleMania 42 match against Oba Femi. The event is set to take place in Las Vegas, continuing the city’s recent streak of hosting major WWE shows.
WrestleMania Match Not Fully Confirmed Yet
However, not everything is locked in. Wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer recently noted that the Lesnar vs. Oba Femi match is not guaranteed yet. While it remains a strong possibility, WWE has not finalized the decision, meaning creative plans could still change.
With Triple H and WWE management known for carefully planning Lesnar’s appearances, the company is expected to use him in high-impact moments designed to maximize fan reactions. Love him or hate him, Lesnar continues to be one of WWE’s biggest attractions.
All eyes will now be on the February 23 Raw episode, where fans could get the first real clue about Brock Lesnar’s road to WrestleMania 42.
