• Sad News For Brock Lesnar Fans
Brock Lesnar returned to WWE programming at SummerSlam last month to set up his final match with John Cena. The two men faced off at Wrestlepalooza last Saturday, where The Beast Incarnate got the win in a dominating fashion.
It seems like fans won’t get to see Lesnar for a while as Fightful Select reports that he is not scheduled for any immediate TV appearances.
WrestleVotes reported earlier that WWE has the former Universal Champion in their plans for Royal Rumble and WrestleMania next year, so he will likely be back on the road to the Show of Shows.
There has also been speculation among fans about Lesnar teaming up with The Vision at this year’s Survivor Series: WarGames due to his reunion with Paul Heyman at Wrestlepalooza, so he could even return before the end of the year.
WWE is reportedly planning Brock Lesnar vs. Bron Breakker for WrestleMania 42.
Earlier today, the Wrestling Observer reported that WWE always planned to have Lesnar beat Cena to make him look strong. The idea is to make him a monster and have someone slay the monster. That someone could turn out to be Bron Breakker.
• Drew McIntyre Will Be Major Hollywood Star’s Brother In New Movie
WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre has officially landed a major film role, joining the cast of Amazon MGM Studios’ Highlander reboot from United Artists. The project will be directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise).
According to Deadline, McIntyre is set to star opposite Henry Cavill, playing the role of Angus MacLeod, brother of Cavill’s character, Connor MacLeod.
In addition to Cavill and McIntyre, the film’s ensemble includes Russell Crowe, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Max Zhang, and WWE Legend Dave Bautista.
The script was written by Michael Finch, inspired by the cult classic 1986 film that starred Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod. The original depicted an epic battle among immortals across centuries, blending historical and modern-day storylines.
The first Highlander film, directed by Russell Mulcahy and produced by Peter S. Davis and William N. Panzer, went on to spawn several sequels and the popular 1990s TV series starring Adrian Paul.
UA acquired full rights to the original movie, opening the door not only for the upcoming reboot but also for a potential new series. Lionsgate previously developed the film before the project moved under United Artists.
The reboot entered pre-production this month but was temporarily paused after Cavill sustained an injury during training. Filming is now scheduled to begin in early 2026.
For McIntyre, this marks the former WWE Champion’s biggest acting role to date. The Scottish wrestler previously made his feature film debut in Lionsgate’s The Killer’s Game, where he also appeared alongside Batista.
