Brock Lesnar is set to make a significant return to WWE at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas on April 18–19, 2026. After a two-year hiatus, his comeback began with a surprise appearance at SummerSlam 2025, where he attacked John Cena, reigniting their long-standing rivalry.
Lesnar then dominated R-Truth at the WrestlePalooza event, signaling his readiness for a major run in WWE. WWE has officially advertised Lesnar for WrestleMania 42, featuring him prominently in promotional materials alongside other top stars like Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Creative plans are reportedly underway for his involvement in both the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 42, with discussions about a potential match against rising star Bron Breakker.
Lesnar's return has not been without controversy. His name was previously associated with the Vince McMahon sex trafficking scandal, leading to his removal from WWE programming in early 2024. Despite ongoing legal issues, Lesnar's return at SummerSlam 2025 has reignited debates among fans and commentators.
As WrestleMania 42 approaches, fans can anticipate a high-profile match featuring Lesnar, potentially against Breakker, marking a significant chapter in his WWE career.
