Brock Lesnar Appears On WWE Raw With Paul Heyman, Wants Challenger For WrestleMania

Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE TV on this week’s Raw with Paul Heyman, who said Lesnar is looking for a WrestleMania challenge. Monday night’s show saw The Beast make his return for the first time since the Royal Rumble, where he competed in the men’s Rumble match.

Lesnar came down with Heyman, who introduced himself as Lesnar’s advocate once again. Heyman spoke about how Lesnar ended the Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak and said the only “Dead Man” in WWE is whoever comes down to the ring to face Lesnar.

Heyman pointed out the appearances that Lesnar is set to make before WrestleMania 42 and challenged someone to come out and challenge The Beast for the PLE. Ultimately, no one came down on tonight’s show to answer Lesnar’s challenge. You can see a clip from the segment below.

Lesnar will appear on the March 16th, 23rd, and 30th episodes of Raw, as well as the April 6th and 13th episodes.

WrestleMania 42 takes place on April 18th and 19th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show airs live on ESPN Unlimited domestically and Netflix internationally. The current card is:

* World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns.
* Women’s World Championship Match: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Liv Morgan.
* Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Men’s Elimination Chamber winner.
* WWE Women’s Championship Match: Jade Cargill vs. Women’s Elimination Chamber winner.
* Brock Lesnar vs. TBA.
