Brock Lesnar surprisingly returned to WWE on a pre-Money in the Bank episode of Friday Night SmackDown on June 17. He was quick to target the top champion in the WWE Roman Reigns. So, within minutes, he got booked in an Undisputed WWE Universal championship match at SummerSlam. This time around, the rematch from WrestleMania 38 will take place in a Last Man Standing capacity.
With this the professional wrestling fans are wondering how Brock Lesnar will be booked in WWE’s weekly television shows, moving forward. Given that he’s getting a championship opportunity, many fans wonder if he would be there on TV for at least a few dates between now and the Biggest Party of the Summer set for Saturday, July 30 in Nashville, Tennessee. To their pleasure, the top superstar will indeed be making some SmackDown appearances.

Brock Lesnar is booked for two more Smackdown episodes around 2022 summer
Brock Lesnar is not currently advertised for the July 1 SmackDown in Phoenix or for next Friday’s July 8 episode in Fort Worth, Texas. He is not likely to appear the next Friday night after that (July 15) in Orlando, Florida. But advertisements suggest that he will be there in Boston and Atlanta, that’s the final two episodes before SummerSlam 2022 to be a part of the final buildups.
As for Brock Lesnar’s scheduled opponent for the show, he’s present on the image graphic presented by the TD Garden for the July 22nd show but he’s not mentioned in the event information. WWE.com’s ticket page for that night has yet to list Reigns as a “Featured Superstar.” The Head of the Table is neither advertised nor graphic-ed by the State Farm Arena for the go-home episode of SmackDown. But down the road, he may get added to the lineup.
For the time being, Reigns is being promoted for the July 8th episode by both Dickies Arena and WWE. Amway Center in Orlando has also listed him on a graphic for July 15, but he isn’t mentioned in the event details section. Plus, he’s not featured on the WWE’s website for that show.
Both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns were initially listed to appear at the Money In The Bank Premium Live Event but they were pulled from the show after it was shifted to a smaller venue, the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
