WWE Still Has No WrestleMania Opponent For Brock Lesnar As Creative Plans Remain Unclear

Brock Lesnar made his return on the February 23 episode of WWE RAW in Atlanta, but weeks later, WWE still hasn’t revealed who will face The Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania. Now, a new update suggests the company may not have finalized those plans at all.

Lesnar returned alongside Paul Heyman, who issued an open challenge for WrestleMania and announced that Lesnar would be appearing on multiple episodes of RAW leading into the event. Despite the dramatic setup, no Superstar stepped forward, and no storyline direction was established.

WrestleVotes Radio reported that WWE’s creative team may still be figuring out exactly what to do with Lesnar, despite his major return already taking place. Joey Votes explained that the segment itself raised questions internally about WWE’s long-term plans.

“Basically it was Paul Heyman promising destruction for whoever wants it come WrestleMania. This just feels like they have no idea what to do with Brock Lesnar at this point. Card continues to shuffle, as everybody's well aware. Maybe the Brock Lesnar decision has yet to become official, set in stone, however you want to put it creatively. So they knew he was going to be in Atlanta and they said, well, go out there and just issue an open challenge for WrestleMania.”

He also noted that Lesnar’s upcoming appearances could be part of a holding pattern while WWE waits to finalize his WrestleMania opponent.

“They did put the dates that he was going to be on the show for the remainder of the time through WrestleMania, about five dates. Come the month of March. Well, he will show up to Monday Night Raw, and I guess the plan is he's going to stand in that ring and hopefully somebody comes out.”

The uncertainty has raised concerns about whether WWE will delay revealing Lesnar’s opponent until the last possible moment.

“Do you feel like, I don't know, for the first four weeks, he'll stand in that ring and Heyman will cut a promo. Nobody will come out. And then the last RAW before WrestleMania, he's going to get his answer. Going to go all the way to WrestleMania as a mystery, or will somebody come out right away to start an actual program?”

TC also expressed frustration that Lesnar’s return didn’t immediately launch a meaningful WrestleMania feud. He explained that WWE missed an opportunity to establish a serious challenger and warned that delaying the storyline could weaken the buildup.

“I was really looking forward to what was going to be, hopefully the kickoff to Brock Lesnar's program leading into WrestleMania.”

“If they're going to do that six more times from WrestleMania, that is beyond lazy, that you're going to have an open challenge and we have to wait till WrestleMania to see who's going to then grow the balls to take on Brock Lesnar.”

TC also stressed that failing to give Lesnar a defined feud would waste one of WWE’s biggest attractions.

“You're not going to give me any kind of program. You're not going to give me any kind of story, nothing. Just, oh, I want to take on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. We're going to get a five minute match and that's it. I think that's a complete waste of Brock Lesnar.”

“There better be something on that segment where Brock Lesnar comes out and we get a little bit of something from somebody. If it is Obafemi, if it is a Sheamus or a Rusev or somebody… I want a story and I want a program.”

Joey Votes echoed that sentiment and emphasized the urgency of locking in Lesnar’s WrestleMania direction.

“I think Brock should be in a proper program. So start to build that as soon as possible. Make the decision. Whoever it is, whoever it is, make the decision.”

With WrestleMania fast approaching, WWE still has time to establish a major opponent for Brock Lesnar, but the lack of a defined feud has left fans and insiders questioning what the company’s long-term plan really is. Lesnar remains one of WWE’s biggest attractions, and whoever steps up to face him will instantly find themselves in one of the most important matches of the year.
