WWE's Brock Lesnar takes on Zac Brown Band at Sphere debut

The Zac Brown Band officially kicked off their long-awaited residency at the Sphere, and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar made an unexpected entrance during the opening performances. Fans were treated to a unique spectacle as Lesnar joined the band on stage in a dramatic showdown.

During one of the songs, lightning effects illuminated the stage while Lesnar and Zac Brown appeared in caveman-style attire, complete with loincloths, engaging in a theatrical fight. Unsurprisingly, Lesnar, known as the Beast Incarnate, gained the upper hand, asserting his iconic presence in the wrestling world.

The band seems poised to continue incorporating Lesnar into their shows, with six additional performances scheduled through January 17, 2026. The debut performance featured a 26-song set, largely drawn from their newly released album Love & Fear, with selections from Jekyll & Hyde also highlighted.

Lesnar returned to WWE in August 2025 after a two-year break connected to legal proceedings involving Janel Grant and Vince McMahon. He recently took part in the Mens WarGames match at Survivor Series, teaming with Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre to defeat Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and the Usos.

While his WWE schedule remains uncertain, his appearance at the Sphere marked another high-profile moment for the wrestling superstar, blending music and sports entertainment in a highly memorable way.
