Crown Jewel 2022 is currently scheduled for 5 November in Saudi Arabia. That could be the next time you see Brock Lesnar on WWE screens - or, perhaps the promotion will keep Brock away until Royal Rumble and have him back for the traditional sprint towards WrestleMania.

Either way, it'd be a huge surprise if Lesnar didn't go back to his farm for now.

'The Beast' really has nothing else going on now he's lost that 'Last Man Standing' match to Roman Reigns. The only possible excuse WWE would have to book Brock again soon is if he's going to f*ck Roman up for revenge and pave the way for an unlikely cash in from Theory. Don't place any bets on that one.

No, it's much more likely that Lesnar enjoys some downtime with his family and goes back to slaughtering whilst bench pressing tractors, or whatever it is he does. It'd be a real shock if he stuck around, even in the short-term.
