Brock Lesnar To Face Dream Opponent As Huge WrestleMania 42 Match 'Leaked'

Brock Lesnar will compete in a huge match at WrestleMania 42, it has been reported.

'The Beast Incarnate' returned to WWE at SummerSlam in August, having spent two years away from the company.

Lesnar had not made a WWE appearance since he was first implicated, and later named, in Janel Grant's sex trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE. Lesnar is not a defendant in the case.

He competed against John Cena at Wrestlepalooza in September in what was his first WWE match since August 2023.

He was then part of the men's WarGames match at Survivor Series in November, teaming up with Bron Breakker, Drew McIntyre, Bronson Reed and Logan Paul.

The 48-year-old has operated on a part-time schedule for a number of years, dating back well before his absence from the company.

He is almost certainly set to compete at the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia next month, as he features on the promotional poster for the event.

From there, the road to WrestleMania 42 begins.

And according to Self Made Pro, Lesnar is set to compete in a match at 'The Show of Shows' that was initially rumoured to happen three years beforehand.

It is claimed that WWE are currently planning to have Lesnar face former two-time world champion Gunther at the event, which once again will take place in Las Vegas.

It is added that Lesnar was originally due to take on Bron Breakker, but Breakker's creative plans changed after the injury suffered by Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel.

Initial rumours claimed that Gunther and Lesnar could have fought for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40 before Lesnar was removed from WWE programming.

In an interview with Busted Open Radio in December 2023, Gunther was asked about potentially facing Lesnar, to which he replied: "I feel like in the long run, the one name I always bring up is Brock, because I feel like I'm the end boss to a lot of people."

Gunther was the 'end boss' for WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, who suffered defeat to the Austrian in his retirement match earlier this year.

'The Ring General' then defeated Cena by submission at Saturday Night's Main Event, in what was the last match of Cena's 25-year career.

Whether he ends up being the chosen one to end Lesnar's career as well remains to be seen.
