Brock Lesnar's WWE Comeback: Anticipation Builds for Wrestlemania 42

Brock Lesnar Returns to WWE

Brock Lesnar made a highly anticipated return to WWE during SummerSlam 2025. The former WWE Champion made a dramatic entrance in the main event, attacking John Cena to pave the way for a future showdown. Following his confrontation with Cena, Lesnar helped his team secure a win at Survivor Series. He reappeared at the Royal Rumble and is now preparing for Wrestlemania 42. In a rare interview, Lesnar discussed various topics, revealing his preference for a private life in Canada, away from the public eye and social media.

During the interview, Lesnar hinted at a potential retirement from WWE, mentioning he is back for a 'short time.' He expressed gratitude for the opportunities he has had, stating, "I went back to work so I could feed my kids. You guys should see my grocery bill." While no official announcement has been made, it is speculated that Lesnar may conclude his wrestling career at SummerSlam 2026, which is set to occur in Minnesota on August 1 and 2. Notably, he hasn't competed at SummerSlam since 2023, where he faced Cody Rhodes.

Upcoming Match Against Oba Femi

Brock Lesnar to face Oba Femi at Wrestlemania 42

At Wrestlemania 42, Brock Lesnar is set to face Oba Femi, a former NXT Champion who accepted Lesnar's open challenge on the latest episode of Raw. Although there were hints of a match between Lesnar and Seth Rollins, Femi interrupted and attacked Lesnar, showcasing his dominance by throwing him out of the ring during Raw's opening segment. Since debuting at the Royal Rumble 2026, Femi has made a significant impact on the main roster, and WWE may be positioning him for a major push similar to Lesnar's initial rise, which included defeating The Rock at SummerSlam 2002 to claim the Undisputed Championship. Notably, Lesnar has never held a mid-card title and left WWE in 2004 before returning in 2012.
