Brock Lesnar’s Next WWE Appearance After Royal Rumble Revealed

Brock Lesnar is officially on the books for his next WWE appearance, following a solid performance at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event.

WWE took to Twitter on February 11, 2026 and announced that The Beast will return to television on the February 23 edition of Monday Night RAW, live from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

“JUST ANNOUNCED! The Beast Brock Lesnar LIVE at Raw in Atlanta ONE WEEK from Monday!” WWE posted.

This announcement comes hot on the heels of WrestleMania season heating up, and fans are already speculating whether Lesnar’s RAW return means a WrestleMania 42 match is locked in.

But according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, Lesnar’s rumored match with Oba Femi isn’t a done deal—yet. Even though the two had a memorable face-off during the 2026 Royal Rumble, Meltzer cautioned that WWE hasn’t officially committed to it.

“That’s not 100 percent by the way… it could happen. I’m not saying it’s not happening. I’m just saying that I was told this one’s not 100 percent, and that was the Lesnar and Oba Femi match,” Meltzer said.

At the Rumble, Femi entered at #1 and lasted nearly 40 minutes before being suplexed and eliminated by Lesnar. That brief clash got fans talking, but it may have just been a tease.

Lesnar himself was quickly dumped by Cody Rhodes and LA Knight, further fueling questions about where he fits in WWE’s Road to WrestleMania. With Roman Reigns now confirmed to face CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title, Lesnar’s direction remains a mystery—for now.
