The cryptic teaser campaign that had WWE fans spinning wild theories has finally been explainedand its not building toward a debut, return, or a new faction after all.
According to PWInsider Elite, the people featured in WWEs mysterious teaser videos are Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Brock Lesnar. The videos, which showed slow-motion shots of feet in black dress shoes, orthopedic soles, and casual jeans, were never meant to tease storyline developments. They were filmed as part of promotional content for WrestleMania 42, which will take place in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium in April 2026.
It was confirmed that several top WWE stars were at company headquarters this past week to film material specifically for WrestleManias marketing rollout. That included Reigns, Rhodes, and Lesnarthree names who had been widely speculated about during the teaser rollout.
Brock Lesnar was accurately guessed by fans as the figure seen in the fourth video, wearing jeans and boots. Some thought it was teasing his return, while others believed it hinted at a Paul Heyman-led stable. None of that turned out to be true.
The teaser campaign also gained more attention after John Cena posted a nearly identical shot to his Instagram, further fueling speculation that these clips were tied to his rumored retirement match on December 13. In the end, all of the videos were tied to WWEs advertising plans for WrestleMania 42not on-screen storylines.
Now that the mystery is over, fans are shifting focus to what WrestleMania 42 might deliver in Las Vegas. But those hoping for a surprise return reveal can officially cross this one off the list.
