Hardy: Brock Lesnar Unlikely for WrestleMania 43 Appearance
10 Aug
Summary
- Matt Hardy doubts Brock Lesnar will appear at WrestleMania 43.
- Lesnar retired after SummerSlam 2026 following a loss to Oba Femi.
- Lesnar's reluctance to travel far is cited as a reason for absence.
Brock Lesnar's in-ring career concluded at SummerSlam 2026 after his Hell in a Cell match loss to Oba Femi. He was subsequently removed from WWE's active roster and announced his retirement, aiming to spend more time with his family. Speculation arose about potential non-wrestling roles for Lesnar, with some within WWE reportedly believing he might feature at WrestleMania 43.
However, Matt Hardy expressed skepticism regarding these rumors on his Extreme Life podcast. Hardy suggested that Lesnar's known aversion to long-distance travel makes an appearance in Saudi Arabia unlikely for him. He stated that The Beast Incarnate likely lacks the motivation to undertake such a journey for a non-wrestling capacity.
Meanwhile, Maven discussed Lesnar's decision to lose to Oba Femi at both WrestleMania 42 and SummerSlam 2026. The former WWE star suggested this indicates Lesnar's high regard for Femi, viewing him as a generational talent and the future of the business, similar to how Lesnar himself was once perceived.
