On Tuesday, WWE added Brock Lesnar to the TV taping rosters for four Raw episodes leading to WrestleMania. Included is next Monday's Raw from Atlanta.

This is subject to change, but Lesnar and The Rock are not scheduled for TV tapings on the same day until the final Raw before WrestleMania.

Lesnar's Road to WrestleMania Schedule

-- February 4: Atlanta, Ga. (Rock not advertised)

-- February 25: Dallas, Tex. (Rock not advertised)

-- March 11: Indianapolis, Ind. (Rock not advertised)

-- March 18: Pittsburgh, PA (Rock not advertised)

-- April 1: Raw in Washington, D.C. (Rock also advertised)
Edit: Added March 18 to the list since it was added yesterday

pretty sure there will be more added since he still has alot mroe dates on his current deal. I think they are just making sure to have him appear on the dates The Rock isn't there first and go home show

The Rock will be gone for 2 weeks? He only has about 15 times (Raws and PPVs until WM29) to defend his title before dropping it to Cena at WM29. He's already 0/1. That will put him at 0/3 with only 12 chances left.

You give a part-timer the title -fine! But for God's sake, he needs to defend it! What are they going to have him defend it thrice in 3 months only at PPVs?

he is defending the title at Elimination Chamber to Punk.

so what if he missed 4 shows physically (2/4, 2/25, 3/11, 3/18). big whoop. people forget this man is very busy. ans has movies to advertise & make and has his own show to film

Historically, how often is the WWE Championship defended on the RTWM though? The show will be fine. The business will survive, and you will have John Cena as your full time WWE Champion starting April 7. As for right now, WWE isn't going to die with Rock who is part-time and who is btw going to be in the media promoting three big movies (Snitch, GI Joe, Pain & Gain) as WWE Champion.

I understand that The Rock will be bringing media coverage and buyrates, but that's all short term. I'm thinking long term. In hindsight when people are discussing how prestigious the WWE championship is. . . When it's mentioned someone came in part-time, won the belt, then took a vacation. And the belt was seen periodically for the next few weeks until he predictably lost it in a match we all saw coming a mile away.

McMahon isn't concerned with any of that. Only hardcore wrestling fans think about those things (honestly, as a fan I would like to see what you're talking about but it's not happening realistically). Vince is about what is making money right now and I believe it is a dream come true for him to have a crossover superstar with one foot in Hollywood and the other in a WWE ring as its Champion. It's about more exposure, more eyeballs on the product right now, and generating bigger business during WrestleMania season when they have the opportunity to do it.

People need to get this thru their heads. Without the Rock there's no historic reign from Punk. He would have that belt a long time ago. Punk should be thanking the stars Rock came along because he benefitted the most from the Rock's return. Who else could keep Cena away from the title for 18 months?

if it wasnt fro the rock cm punk would off lost the belt months age. the belt now has prestige it means something. the rock isnt doing it for the money he is doing it for himself and the fans. people need to respect that all he has done is better himself he is a hollywood star. and the wwe are benifiting hugely from it

If Rock is Champion he should be there for every Raw, it's bad enough he's missing all House Shows. They shouldn't have given him the Title if he's missing all those Raws, but of course, it's The Rock...

Its amazing how they have scheduled Dwayne and Brock on different dates to keep fans happy but whats gonna happen when Dwayne leaves for Hollywood again and Brock leaves for good??? we will be back to Cena hogging the spotlight and being shoved down our throats Vince really is killing the business by not pushing new talent to the main event scene. And Rock being WWE champion and hes not gonna be at all these Raw shows that is fucked up as hes WWE champion so theres no WWE title on Raw for weeks thats just messed up. Dont get me wrong I am glad Rock is WWE champion but this is just not right having him miss all these shows when hes supposed to be champion

I am sure more dates will be added definitely. Seems WWE made sure to add him to dates where Dwayne isn't there first, before finalizing the rest of his schedule.
IDK, they might just have Heyman do his talking for him between his dates --- we'll see. Hoping they add him to the March 18 RAW tapings (otherwise that will be the only week with no Brock or Rock --- and it seems they really need at least one of them their during each three hour RAW taping heading into 'Mania IMO --- I realize this is their first time building to a 'Mania in the three hour era - all the more reason they need at least one of them their each week --- as the rest of the roster can definetly step it up as 'Mania approaches but they do need a huge name to keep drawing consistent ratings heading into WM))...

It just serves to make Brock look even more dominant than he already looks. I mean Miz looked like a small man against Brock.

As for these dates, pretty good that we get to see either Brock/Rock on each show leading up to Wrestlemania. I mean this last week was very poor other than the input by Brock/Heyman in Miz TV. The Rock will be back this week to build up to Elimination Chamber, looking forward to that.

My second favourite wrestler of all time is The Rock. My favourite gimmick of all time is Heel Hollywood Rock. I love the guy, but seriously, fuck him ! Tight schedule or no tight schedule, he shouldn't have enen accepted the championship if he knew he won't be there every week at least until Wrestlemania. I don't care for his movies, I don't care for his time at all. I only care to see him in the WWE ring, that's his obligation to me, and to us all as fans from the moment he accepted to come back. If he cannot do that, then he should leave for good again. He should NOT have excuses. Period.

Brock Lesnar...What the fuck does he have anything else to do? And besides, he only comes down, F5's someone and leaves. Is that that time consuming that he can't afford to be there every week until Wrestlemania?

shut the fuck up... The Rock isn't obligated to do shit for you. Neither is Brock. They are there to entertain the fans when they arrive, and to make money for the WWE. That's exactly what they do. No one cares if you don't care for his movies. No one cares if you don't care about his time. The fact of the matter is that he has another career. It was the WWE's decision to put the title on him for business purposes. They knew before hand what type of commitment that he'd be able to make and still pulled the trigger on making him the champion. Get over it.

March 18 is also the date Brock debuted 11 years ago. So thats nice

^^ The Rock is busy dude, for what he is giving the WWE already with his schedule should be appreciated. Period.

Brock wants his schedule to be very limited. And WWE don't have a problem with that either, so whats the problem?
