I'm sure more dates will be added soon but there's the confirmed/advertised dates so far. I can't wait but I'm not sure if he will wrestle already in just 3 odd weeks time at Extreme Rules. Either way, I'm excited for his return.

 

[Darth Shizzel]

I could see him just doing a run in to signal he wants the WWE championship or something like that.

 

[Defiant]

Didn't he sign a one year deal?

 

[Heisenberg]

It's a one year deal rumored to be in the $5 million range -- will last through next year's WrestleMania at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey. There, he will assumedly take part in a huge match-up with tons of mainstream press behind it. Up until then, he is obligated to make a minimum of at least two appearances a month plus an additional number of appearances during the build to the Mania PPV and obviously, Mania 29 itself. The belief is that Lesnar will make in the area of 30-35 appearances over the next year, although WWE would have the ability to negotiate additional appearances with him above and beyond that - if Lesnar is willing to make them.

For those of you who are wondering how The Rock plays into this, well, he certainly needs someone to challenge for the WWE title one day....

 

[Defiant]

I couldn't imagine them doing the same thing with Brock that they did with Dwayne, announcing the match with him and Cena for Wrestlemania 29 for the sake of long build. It'd be funny be damn frustrating, I'm a Cena fan and I want Lesnar to kill him Extreme Rules.

 

[Lewb]

So the way this is setting up.... it's a good bet that The Rock will win next years royal rumble?

 

[rcoot93]

Can't see him wrestling this soon they need to make a big deal out of it like they did with the Rock, if he does start wrestling expect a winning streak

 

[Troy]

I can't see him wrestling this soon either. It would be too rushed to go from return to wrestling again in four weeks. WWE need to wait a bit longer and get a storyline in place for his inring return because it will be massive and it will be a huge draw. I definitely see him wrestling at SummerSlam because it is one of their big four PPVs. If they are going to get him to wrestle before that they simply need a good enough story and reason behind it to get as many people to buy the PPV as possible. Honestly though whatever PPV he returns at I am buying.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I'd like to see him actually wrestle on most of his Raw appearances.

 

[Darth Shizzel]

Can't see that happening unless you want to see him in quick squash matches.

As for PPV I would think that Brock vs John this early while it would be great for that PPV you would think that they would want to be prepared better for it.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

It would make more sense to build a Lesnar feud with wrestling. Rock talking for the half year last year worked, that is not going to work with Lesnar.

 

[Slim]

Thing is with lesnar... you can't just give him any ole opponent to start off with. It has to be someone with some name value. Plus gotta advertise the hell out of it to help give Raw that boost in ratings cause Raw has been getting average numbers for the past year. They need a boost and Brock wrestling on Raw would provide that boost but if its against someone like Zach Ryder... who in the hell is going to care?

Cause we know he is going to fight John Cena at a future PPV... and it is going to be a big PPV... not one of the minor ones. Either SummerSlam, Survivor Series, or Mania. So there is plenty of time to build that feud. I'd say let him fight like Cody, Big Show, just someone with some name value that way the match won't seem like just a complete waste.

Shoot... Lesnar vs. Miz. Miz could hype the crap out of it. He was the one that won the match for team Johnny. He is finally doing something. He still has a name. he was one of the two for Rock's return match at Survivor Series, former WWE champion, ... Miz/Lesnar would be good for a ratings boost, get things going, just... yeah. 2/3 weeks ahead of time the match is announced and Miz hypes it up, gets a couple wins in the upcoming weeks, then boom... match time.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

I'm really at the wait and see phase here. I'd really like to see him wrestle again, but who knows what level he is at right now.

 

[We Are Legion]

I could see Lesnar being in someone's corner as an enforcer role or something along those lines. I too doubt he will wrestle this soon, but I really hope I'm wrong.

It would make sense to build his actual "wrestling" return for a while, I just hope to God it isn't WM29.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Kinda like idea of Miz feud but if Lesnar is facing Cena down the line, Miz seems like a weird opponent. Someone like Show or even Ryder would make more sense.
