Major Plans in Place for Brock Lesnar – Brock Lesnar will not be appearing on WWE television in the near future despite his recent win over John Cena at Wrestlepalooza. According to a new report from Fightful Select, internal sources stated that Lesnar will be “off television for a while,” with no timeline yet for when he will return to begin building toward his next appearance.
As previously reported, Lesnar is currently scheduled for the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia and WrestleMania 42. While there has been speculation about a possible WrestleMania showdown with Bron Breakker, nothing has been finalized.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter added that WWE’s creative direction is focused on presenting Lesnar as dominant as possible whenever he does compete. The plan is to portray him as an unstoppable “monster” so that a top star can eventually be positioned to “slay” him. The three names reportedly being discussed for that role are Jacob Fatu, Bron Breakker, and Cody Rhodes.
Regarding his Wrestlepalooza match with Cena, Meltzer noted that there were never serious talks of Cena winning despite outside speculation. “We were told that was not the case, and that Lesnar was not brought back to lose his first match. There are always discussions, and the idea may have been broached for Cena to win, as most expected, but it was never a serious discussion or ever the planned finish,” Meltzer reported.
“The match was all about making Lesnar as strong as possible, getting a last match with Cena, and the feeling Cena more than anyone, is bulletproof no matter what they do with him. They are spending a ton to get Lesnar, and the idea is to make him a monster and have someone slay the monster. It would be more valuable saving the big and first Lesnar loss for Jacob Fatu or Bron Breakker, unless Cody Rhodes needs a challenger, and if they feud, in the end, Rhodes does have to get a win.”
