Brock Lesnar Issues WrestleMania Open Challenge On WWE Raw

Brock Lesnar’s path to WrestleMania 42 became clearer and more dangerous on the February 23 episode of WWE Raw as Paul Heyman threw down a bold challenge to the entire locker room.

After Brock Lesnar made his signature entrance, Paul Heyman took centre stage to address the situation. Framing WrestleMania as an event historically defined by two true main events, the world title match and The Undertaker’s undefeated streak, Heyman reminded the audience that Lesnar ended that streak. In Heyman’s view, that moment permanently secured Lesnar’s place as the attraction who defines the grandest stage.

Declaring that the only “dead man walking” is whoever dares step into the ring opposite Lesnar, Heyman issued an open challenge for WrestleMania 42. He insisted there is not a single member of the current roster capable of standing toe-to-toe with “The Beast” and questioned whether anyone has the courage to even try.

Heyman dismissed the idea that championship matches automatically headline the show, arguing instead that the real main event is whoever is brave enough to be “conquered by Brock.” With no one emerging to accept the challenge, Lesnar and Heyman left the ring without a confirmed opponent.

However, the segment did provide a major update. Paul Heyman confirmed that Brock Lesnar will appear on five consecutive episodes of Raw beginning March 16, effectively inviting any potential challenger to confront him during the Road to WrestleMania.
