With that, it was also noted that Lesnar will be in the Los Angeles area at SoFi Stadium for WrestleMania 39 on either April 1 or 2. Becky Lynch, Bobby Lashley, Bianca Belair, Ronda Rousey, and Roman Reigns are other superstars to prominently feature in the graphic.

Lesnar has not been seen on WWE programme since his loss to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam in a Last Man Standing Match. But Atlanta’s State Farm Arena has since advertised him for WWE Day 1 PLE on the 2023 New Year’s Day. Hence, he’s likely to be back on WWE TV by the end of this year.
