Brock Lesnar has long been one of WWE's most bankable attractions, and even though he just lost to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam this weekend, he's already being included in advertising for a premium live event next year. It took everything that Reigns, The Usos, Theory, and Paul Heyman had to literally bury Lesnar during the main event of the Biggest Party Of The Summer. The Tribal Cheif retained his unified championships, setting up a fight with Drew McIntyre at September's Clash At The Castle.
It stands to reason that Lesnar would be kept off of WWE television for the foreseeable future. Injuries to Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton forced Vince McMahon to go back to seemingly the only big match that he was capable of booking for SummerSlam in Reigns vs Lesnar. Those two had just been in the main event of WrestleMania 38 and then were rolled out again for WWE's next big premium live event.

Now it seems that WWE may have inadvertently revealed a possible timeline for Lesnar's return to action. The @StateFarmArena Twitter profile revealed that it will play host for the Day 1 PLE on Jan. 1, and literally the only wrestler who is featured on the ad is Brock Lesnar.
