Brock Lesnar has been away from WWE TV for some time, but new reports suggest that he is expected to make his return around the Royal Rumble 2026 and stay active through WrestleMania 42. Sources claim that he has one of the biggest plans set for the grand event, though the full details are still being finalized. One thing is certain when Brock comes back, it will be huge.
With that in mind, let us look at three potential matches that could truly make WrestleMania 42 unforgettable if Lesnar steps back into the ring.
Brock Lesnar vs Dominik Mysterio
This may sound unusual, but it has already been in WWE’s plans before. A Lesnar vs Dominik Mysterio match was once considered for Elimination Chamber in Perth, but Brock’s hiatus due to legal troubles kept it from happening.
Now, the timing feels even better. Dominik has grown into a confident star, currently standing tall as Intercontinental Champion. A feud with Lesnar would not just be a clash of styles but also a major story of an underdog taking on a giant. If Dominik somehow manages to beat Brock, it would go down as one of the biggest shocks in modern WWE history.
Brock Lesnar vs Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker represents the future, while Lesnar represents one of WWE’s greatest monsters of the past two decades. This match almost feels necessary. Breakker is climbing fast, and facing Lesnar would give him a true test against one of the toughest men in wrestling history.
Adding Paul Heyman into the mix could make this rivalry even more special, given his history with both stars. With Lesnar’s career not having too many years left, this might be one of the few chances to make this showdown happen, and it could be the kind of match that elevates Breakker to the next level.
Brock Lesnar vs Gunther
Gunther has been built as one of the strongest forces in WWE, often compared to a modern-day Lesnar. He’s already cemented his place with the longest Intercontinental Championship reign and only a few rare defeats.
A clash between these two would feel like a true battle of titans. Gunther’s stiff style against Lesnar’s brute force could make this match a classic. Not only that, but a win for Gunther would solidify him as the rightful successor to Lesnar’s “Beast” legacy. There is even a chance that this could be Brock’s retirement match, passing the torch to WWE’s most dominant full-time competitor today.
