Posted By: Ben Kerin on Apr 21, 2026 Backstage Doubt Emerges Over Whether Brock Lesnar Is Truly Retired

The professional wrestling world stood in stunned silence at WrestleMania 42 as Brock Lesnar performed the ultimate gesture of retirement. Following a decisive defeat at the hands of the rising powerhouse Oba Femi, Lesnar methodically stripped off his mixed martial arts gloves and wrestling boots, leaving them in the center of the ring. A poignant embrace with his longtime advocate, Paul Heyman, followed by a final wave to a crowd chanting their gratitude, signaled the end of a legendary era.

Joe Hendry Joins WWE RAW, Concert Segment Announced for Next Week

Joe Hendry Joins WWE RAW, Concert Segment Announced for Next Week

Joe Hendry is now officially part of WWE RAW, with his first major segment already confirmed for next week’s show.

The announcement was made during the April 20 WWE RAW following WrestleMania, as commentator Michael Cole revealed that Hendry is now a member of the RAW roster. Corey Graves reacted on commentary with visible disapproval, adding to the moment.

Hendry’s first featured appearance is set for next week’s WWE RAW, where he will host a live concert segment. The show will take place in Laredo.

Hendry had previously been rumored for a main roster call-up earlier in 2026 when SmackDown expanded to three hours, but those plans did not materialize at the time. Instead, he remained in NXT, where he captured the NXT Championship and held it for 60 days.

His title reign came to an end at Stand & Deliver, where he lost the championship in a four-way match to Tony D’Angelo.

Hendry also appeared on SmackDown recently, competing in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which was won by Royce Keys.

Next week’s WWE RAW is shaping up to feature several key segments. In addition to Hendry’s concert, Becky Lynch is scheduled to appear following her WrestleMania victory over AJ Lee to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu are also advertised for the show, continuing their developing situation after WrestleMania 42.

With Hendry now officially on WWE RAW and set for a featured segment, his transition from NXT to the main roster is now complete.

Street Profits Return on WWE RAW

Street Profits Return on WWE RAW

The April 20 episode of WWE RAW took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, continuing the tradition of major moments following WrestleMania 42.

The RAW after WrestleMania is known for surprises, and this year delivered another key return that impacts the tag team division.

During the show, Paul Heyman and The Vision were in the ring for a promo segment when Seth Rollins interrupted and attacked both Bron Breakker and The Vision. The situation escalated quickly, with Rollins gaining the upper hand before the numbers shifted against him.

That’s when The Street Profits made their return.

The duo entered to a strong reaction and immediately evened the odds, stopping the attack and clearing the ring. Their return added momentum to the segment and signaled a fresh direction for the tag team division.

This marked their first major WWE television appearance in months. After failing to defeat The Wyatt Sicks for the WWE Tag Team Titles on the October 10 episode of SmackDown, they were taken off television. During that period, they only competed in limited appearances, including a Main Event match in late October and a small number of NXT house show matches in January.

The absence was reportedly due to a creative reset, with WWE taking time to reposition the team.

The Street Profits have previously held multiple championships across WWE, including the RAW Tag Team Titles, SmackDown Tag Team Titles, and NXT Tag Team Titles. Their return immediately places them back into the mix in a division that continues to evolve after WrestleMania.

With WWE RAW setting the stage for new programs, their return adds depth and experience to the tag team scene moving forward.
