Brock Lesnar, the WWE Champion, has been confirmed for a number of television tapings leading up to WrestleMania.

In fact, Lesnar is expected to return to SmackDown at the end of February, says a report in WrestleInc. Lesnar will make his debut appearance on RAW on Monday at the Heritage Bank Center.

Following Saturday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view, when he is set to defend the WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley, it will be his first RAW appearance.

The Beast Incarnate is also set to perform at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 14th on an episode of RAW.

The WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view takes place on Saturday, February 19th from the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and that episode is the go-home show for that event.

Lesnar is scheduled to be at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina on February 21st for WWE Elimination Chamber and the following Monday’s RAW.

Following that, he’s on the schedule for SmackDown episodes leading up to WrestleMania, including the February 25th program at the Giant Center in Hershey, PA, and the March 11th edition in Birmingham, Alabama.

Lesnar is scheduled to meet Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38, as has been spoken of in the past.

Brock Lesnar Royal Rumble 2022 Speculation

The Royal Rumble 2022 is now less than a week away. The main event is Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley for the WWE championship.

It is a match between two big men who’ve had success in both wrestling and MMA. To make things better, they have never wrestled each other before.

But Lesnar is still set to face Reigns at WrestleMania. When Roman tested positive for COVID, he had to withdraw from the Universal Championship with Brock on Day 1.

But, Brock also competed in the WWE title match and won. It turned out to be a mixed blessing, as fans finally got to see Lashley and Brock’s long-awaited feud.

At Royal Rumble 2022, Brock Lesnar will defend his championship. Brock is expected to retain his championship, as many had anticipated.

But if rumours are to be believed, Roman Reigns and The Usos will interfere in Brock’s bout. Reason? Between the Beast and the Bloodline, there’s a lot of unfinished business.

As a result, Lesnar will lose the title to Lashley. This will serve as a stepping stone to the unfinished rivalry between Reigns and Lesnar.

While Roman vs. The Rock is a dream match for many, Brock’s bout with Reigns is still in the works for the time being.
