Overview
- On Feb. 23 Raw, Paul Heyman issued an open challenge for anyone to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42.
- Ibou of Self Made Sessions reported that Lesnar and Heyman told WWE he should not lose before his retirement, a claim not confirmed by the company.
- Reporting says WWE’s creative team has not decided on an opponent, with matches against Gunther or Oba Femi viewed as problematic if Lesnar will not be booked to lose.
- LA Knight has been discussed as a potential opponent because he could absorb a loss without derailing his momentum, according to the same reporting.
- Michael Cole announced Lesnar will appear on next week’s Raw in San Antonio, and coverage notes ongoing rumors that Lesnar could retire later in 2026, possibly at SummerSlam in Minneapolis.
