As reported earlier, Brock Lesnar’s TV schedule was released by WWE, earlier. Going in total contrast from the past few years, Lesnar is likely to feature more on Raw, going forward. The WWE has planned this due to his capability of pulling up the TV ratings during his presence on the show. WWE will like to make full use of him in the Wrestlemania season.
In addition, Lesnar is no more capable of performing outside of the WWE after facing suspension from the Nevada State Athletic State Commission. It was further extended by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) stating that he can’t participate in any of the MMA fights in the entire year of 2017. This means he will only be seen in the WWE ring.
Now, cagesideseats.com has reported Lesnar will start having matches on Monday Night Raw soon. Ever since he came to the WWE, he was under contract to appear on Raw to have a face-off with his opponents or appear in physical capacities. He never competed in any match on the flagship show.
The WWE is likely to give a drastic change to his tv schedule and hence this arrangement might have been done. It will be indeed a historic moment on the show if the beast is seen in a match on Raw. Plus, this will definitely be a huge boost to the show.
The last time, Brock Lesnar had competed in a match on Raw was 15 years ago. On July 2002 he featured in Singapore Cane match against ECW legend, Tommy Dreamer. This was his last match on Raw where he defeated the veteran before going on to Smackdown. Before departing in the year 2004, he was part of the blue brand, ever since.
This is indeed a big news for Lesnar fans who will be excited to see him in action even on the Monday Night’s show. We’ll have to wait for some more to get confirmed news regarding the same.
