Brock Lesnar is part of the WWE programming despite his absence since April. WWE creative team knows how to keep someone relevant even after a hiatus spanning for more than three months. The reigning Universal Champion get the benefit of the same in the past few months. His last appearance happened at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.
Roman Reigns was his opponent inside a steel cage match. The match ended in a controversial manner when Reigns speared him through the steel cage door. Apparently, Reigns’ feet touched the floor first which means he is the legit winner of the match.
Despite this, the referee favored Brock Lesnar while making the decision an allowed him to retain the title.
It started a controversy of whether Brock Lesnar should be the one to be the Universal Champion or not. The entire post-GRR season has had the same conversation. Added to that was the absence of the title-holder from the scene. Most of the superstars declared their frustrations with this, whereas, the critics stated him to be irrelevant in WWE programming.
Furthermore, the speculations were running high on a return to the UFC. At the UFC 226 event, we have spotted Brock Lesnar for the first time in three months making a public appearance. It was a certain indication that he is going back to MMA in the near future.
Meanwhile, WWE had advertised him to appear on the next episode of WWE Raw. We have seen such ads featuring the Conqueror, previously. But he cared the least to show up live in front of the audience. So another report has now confirmed that it is happening.
PWInsider.com has confirmed the next appearance of the beast incarnate. As per the source, Brock Lesnar is all set to make his presence felt on the July 30th edition of WWE Raw. The American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida will be the host of the show. We need to mention this is the same venue which witnessed his comeback in the WWE six years ago.
Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns have been continuing their feud over the number one contender’s spot. The latter one captured the spot on the previous week’s edition of the show from Cincinnati, Ohio. It is likely that Brock Lesnar will have a confrontation with his new challenger to build up the upcoming championship match at Summerslam.
