Brock Lesnar is officially back in the WWE mix, and plans for his future are already starting to take shape. After destroying John Cena in his return at WrestlePalooza, new reports confirm that WWE has penciled him in for two of their biggest shows in early 2026.

On the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on WrestleBinge, JoeyVotes and TC reported that Lesnar is internally listed for the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia as well as WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. This means creative plans are being mapped out with the expectation that he’ll be featured prominently on both shows.

The timing matches WWE’s marketing push, as Lesnar’s face is front and center on the official WrestleMania 42 poster. While ESPN had previously distanced itself from him due to the Janel Grant lawsuit, WWE has made no attempt to hide him, instead pushing Lesnar as a key player for their biggest events of the year.

Now comes the big question: who will Lesnar face in Las Vegas? According to Bodyslam.net, at least some internal talks have revolved around a showdown with Bron Breakker. The idea of the younger powerhouse taking on The Beast Incarnate has been floated for years as a dream clash, and WrestleMania 42 could finally be the stage.

A simple setup at the Royal Rumble would be all it takes. If Breakker eliminates Lesnar, the seeds would be planted for a passing of the torch moment. With their size, speed, and raw intensity, a Lesnar vs. Breakker battle would have all the ingredients for a true blockbuster in Las Vegas.

Would you want to see Brock Lesnar face Bron Breakker at WrestleMania 42, or should WWE pick a different opponent for The Beast? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
