Every year, WWE holds its biggest show, known as WrestleMania, and next year will be WrestleMania 40, which will be held as a two-night event on April 6 and 7, 2024, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Despite being the biggest show of the year, it seems like Brock Lesnar is now likely to miss this premium live event.

The last time Brock Lesnar appeared in the company was at SummerSlam 2023, where the Beast suffered a loss at the hands of Cody Rhodes. However, since then, fans have been anticipating the comeback of the Beast Incarnate. Additionally, recent reports have confirmed that Brock Lesnar is set to miss this year's Crown Jewel premium live event, which will be the first edition of the show he has missed since 2018.

New reports have emerged from private X account BWE where the highly reliable source stated that the participation of the Beast is currently questionable, which seemingly raises the possibility of him missing next year's Show of Shows

The reason behind Lesnar missing Crown Jewel is that it is already a jam-packed show with stars like Roman Reigns and John Cena on the PLE. This is seemingly the rationale behind the company considering Lesnar's participation in any further event where WWE would lack star power. However, if the Beast Incarnate misses WrestleMania 40, the potential reason might be something different.

One of the reasons could be that Lesnar might have some personal reasons and wants to take a break from his WWE career right now with a long hiatus. It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the upcoming weeks, as Lesnar is also speculated to make his return near January 2024.


Early predictions for WrestleMania 40

Despite being many months away from WrestleMania 40, the company is seemingly already preparing for some major matches at the Grandest Stage of Them All. A clash between Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso appears to be in the cards due to their recent heated confrontations and altercations. Reports suggest that this match between the Samoan twins is likely to take place at next year's WrestleMania.

Additionally, there is speculation about a potential match between Roman Reigns and The Rock, especially after recent comments from the People's Champion teasing this clash. However, if The Rock fails to appear at WrestleMania 40 for this dream match, a rematch between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns is also on the cards for this premium event.

As the biggest show of the year, fans are already eagerly anticipating WrestleMania 40. It will be interesting to see how the company will book this event to deliver a memorable and exciting experience for fans.
