With Brock Lesnar dropping the WWE Title but winning the men's Royal Rumble match last night, there's now an update on the Beast Incarnate's upcoming WWE schedule.

Madison Square Garden has announced that Lesnar will be making his MSG return at the Saturday 5 March non-televised live event. This will mark Brock's first in-ring appearance at the famed Garden since retaining the Universal Title against Kane and Braun Strowman at a house show back in March 2018.

Lesnar did appear at MSG for an episode of SmackDown last September, but Brock didn't actually compete on that night. This coming March, the New York City audience will get to see the former UFC Heavyweight Champion crack some skulls for the first time in four years.

With the news of this MSG date, that means that Brock Lesnar's WWE schedule currently looks like:

- 31 January: Raw from the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio

- 14 February: Raw from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana

- 19 February: Elimination Chamber from the Jeddah Dome in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

- 21 February: Raw from the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina

- 25 February: SmackDown from the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania

- 11 March: SmackDown from the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama

- 2 & 3 April: WrestleMania 38 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas

Of course, given how Brock last night lost the WWE Championship - as in, Raw's top prize - it remains to be seen whether the above Raw dates stay in place. Giving how Roman Reigns cost Lesnar that title at the Royal Rumble, it appears that WWE is powering forward with Lesnar vs. Reigns at WrestleMania 38. As such, it could be that Brock's schedule is rejigged to include more SmackDown dates in place of the listed Raw ones.
