WWE’s next premium live event is Crown Jewel 2022 in Saudi Arabia and as expected Brock Lesnar will be one of the headliners of the show. Following this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, he’s confirmed to feature in a rematch against none other than another heavyweight superstar from the red brand, Bobby Lashley.
Speculations about this happening were always there, courtesy of a few insider reports published by reliable sources. Then last week, the seeds were planted for the rematch at Crown Jewel 2022 when Brock Lesnar made a surprise return during the Raw season premiere since Summerslam 2022 of this year.

He absolutely manhandles Lashley with German Suplexes and F-5s before tackling him down with the Kimura Lock. Seth Rollins capitalized on this situation and won the United States Title from Lashley.
An irate Lashley then kicked off this week’s Raw by calling out Lesnar and the two got into a brawl right after the show began. Lashley speared Lesnar through the barricade at ringside, and then also planted him with a Spine Buster through the announce table to stand tall.

Soon after the brawl between the two was over, the commentators from Raw announced that Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley II will be happening at Crown Jewel 2022 pay-per-view event.
Earlier this year, the dream match between the two became a reality at Royal Rumble in January. A heel Lashley won the WWE Title for the second time in his career from Lesnar, courtesy of Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns attacking the latter.
Three weeks later, Lesnar would then win back the WWE Title from Lashley in an Elimination Chamber Match in Saudi Arabia. The two never came face-to-face, that night after Lashley suffered a kayfabe injury, that night.
