Brock Lesnar will not be competing at the 13th episode of the WWE Raw in February, as the event will be held in Nevada where he is currently banned by the state's athletics commission because of his failed doping test from his UFC 200 fight last year.

Lesnar will not be allowed to fight on the state until his ban is lifted on July 15. His sanction was shortened from two years to one.

Lesnar, known as "The Beast Incarnate," is set to appear in almost every Monday night's Raw episode until Wrestlemania 33, except for the Feb. 13 slot. 

Fortunately, Nevada is not a common ground for WWE events, so Lesnar will only miss a couple of fights.

Meanwhile, Brock is set to meet with Goldberg on Jan. 29 at the Royal Rumble, the 30 man elimination match. Speculations are making rounds that the two could be the main event in Wrestlemania 33, together with other pairs including Shaquille O'Neil vs Big Show and Seth Rollins vs Triple H. Sports World News reported that John Cena and the Undertaker are no longer an option.  

Constantly featuring two big wigs is not an everyday thing in WWE shows. Many speculate that WWE is going to build up a feud between Lesnar and Goldberg to create a buzz among fans.

However, Inquisitr noted that WWE's strategy would usually keep two fighters away until the big fight. It is not clear how the Lesnar-Goldberg match would turn out though. As for now, Goldberg has been advertising for WWE Fastlane, while Lesnar's schedule is yet to be revealed.
