Brock Lesnar is set to return to WWE very soon.
At the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar made his first WWE appearance since helping his team to victory at Survivor Series: WarGames. Lesnar entered the Rumble at number 2022 and eliminated Ilja Dragunov, Rey Fenix, and Oba Femi before being taken out of the match by Cody Rhodes and LA Knight.
Since then, The Beast Incarnate has been nowhere to be seen on WWE TV, but that’s about to change. On February 11th, WWE announced on social media that Lesnar will be back on the 23rd when Raw rolls into Atlanta, Georgia’s State Farm Arena.
While WWE has only indicated that Lesnar will be in attendance, the show will likely see his path to WrestleMania 42 become clearer.
JUST ANNOUNCED! The Beast Brock Lesnar LIVE at Raw in Atlanta ONE WEEK from Monday!

Who Will Brock Lesnar Face At WrestleMania 42?
One of the most talked-about moments of the 2026 Royal Rumble was Brock Lesnar’s face-off with Oba Femi. The two-time NXT Champion made his mark on the Rumble, entering at Number 1 and eliminating five other men before Lesnar arrived to throw him over the top rope.
Many fans have been hoping to see Femi and Lesnar square off at WrestleMania 42, and while that is still a possibility, Dave Meltzer recently reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that it isn’t guaranteed.
“That’s not 100 per cent, by the way. It could happen. I’m not saying it’s not happening. I was told this one’s not 100 per cent, and that was the Lesnar and Oba Femi match.”
With Triple H facing criticism for leaving WrestleMania plans in flux, it remains to be seen whether The Conqueror will clash with The Ruler on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
