Brock Lesnar, Nikki Bella, R-Truth, Andreas Hale – Monday’s Wrestling News for April 20th, 2026

Brock Lesnar

People within WWE genuinely expected that Brock Lesnar wouldn’t retire until SummerSlam in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (FF) A side note – some reporters describe that as his “home state” but Lesnar was actually born and raised in Webster, South Dakota. He’s primarily associated with Minnesota due to the fact he finished his collegiate wrestling career at the University of Minnesota as the 2000 NCAA Heavyweight Champion and two time Big Ten champion. I don’t doubt he loves the state for the fact he’s won UFC fights and wrestled major WWE matches there in his career.

Via social media Nikki Bella said she hopes to be back in the ring in 6-8 weeks.

R-Truth called Andreas Hale out as a “bitch ass” after his credentials for WrestleMania 42 were denied. Their beef stems back to a 2015 tweet where Hale accused Truth of “coon-ing” on Raw.
