• WWE Legend Returning To AEW Very Soon
Dustin Rhodes underwent double knee replacement surgery in the summer of 2025, and now, his return is near. Here’s what he said during an interview with Fox News:
“I just had double knee replacements. They’re brand new knees. They’re feeling pretty good. Probably two weeks, three weeks, I’ll be back – TBS, TNT, HBO Max.”
Dustin last wrestled on the July 31st episode of AEW Collision, where he lost the TNT Championship to Kyle Fletcher in a Chicago Street Fight.
Speaking of Dustin, he recently said he has no plans to return to WWE: “Nope! I never got a raise there. What, you want me sitting the bench doing nothing? That ain’t me anymore. I have done the best work of my career with AEW. I love the character Goldust, but he ran its course. I did what I was told and it got me nowhere. No thanks.”
• Brock Lesnar’s Expected WrestleMania 42 Opponent
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman appeared on the February 23rd episode of RAW, where Heyman said WrestleMania used to have two main event matches: the world title match and The Undertaker’s match. After Lesnar ended The Undertaker’s undefeated Streak in 2014, that main event spot became Brock’s spot.
Heyman and Lesnar issued an open challenge for WrestleMania 42. The Beast will make 5 more TV appearances before WrestleMania and anyone can step up to the former UFC Heavyweight Champion.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Oba Femi will most likely answer Lesnar’s open challenge. Femi has been accepting open challenges from other wrestlers as of late. On this week’s RAW, Oba accepted Rusev’s challenge for a fight. Last night of SmackDown, Oba accepted Johnny Gargano’s challenge and squashed him.
The seeds for the Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi feud were planted during the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match, where The Beast eliminated The Ruler.
WrestleMania 42 will be Lesnar’s return to WrestleMania after 3 years. His last WrestleMania was WrestleMania 39 in 2023.
Below is Brock Lesnar’s RAW schedule on the Road to WrestleMania 42:
March 16 – San Antonio
March 23 – Boston
March 30 – New York City
April 6 – Houston
April 13 – Sacramento
