Brock Lesnar returned to WWE programming on the Dec. 30 edition of “Monday Night Raw,” the last edition of the program for the year of 2013. On that same night, Lesnar sent a message to the locker room of the WWE as he delivered an “F5” to the “World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry.
The following week on the first “Monday Night Raw” of the new year, Lesnar made another statement by fracturing Henry’s arm. However, the Big Show appeared and squared off with Lesnar momentarily and sent him out of the ring. During the Jan. 10 edition of “WWE Smackdown,” Heyman accepted a challenge by Big Show for Lesnar and Show to square off at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
The following six events are the only events that Lesnar is currently advertised for leading up to WrestleMania XXX:
Jan. 20 “Monday Night Raw” at the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio
Jan. 26 Royal Rumble pay-per-view at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Jan. 27 “Monday Night Raw” at the Quickens Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio
Feb. 23 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
Feb. 24 “Monday Night Raw” at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wis.
April 6 WrestleMania XXX at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, La.
Even though Lesnar is currently advertised for just six events, including three pay-per-views, expect that number to increase over the upcoming months leading to WrestleMania XXX. More appearances will likely be added as Lesnar’s matches at Elimination Chamber at WrestleMania will have a build that lasts longer than just one week. Along with that, it is always possible that Lesnar makes some appearances on WWE programming that are unadvertised.
