Brock Lesnar is back on the WWE fold starting with this week’s episode of Raw and he will also be there on the next episode. For the October 17 edition of WWE’s flagship show, the multi-time world champion has been announced alongside a United States Title Match.
During the latest Friday episode of Smackdown, it was announced that Brock Lesnar would be appearing on the show, which will be held at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Another major announcement for the show was that the newly crowned United States Champion Seth Rollins will be defending the title against Matt Riddle.

After an epic Extreme Rules 2022 edition, fans expected something big on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. It was the red brand’s season premiere and fans were almost certain to see something special. Demand for the ticket also increased after Bray Wyatt made his return at Extreme Rule and fans wanted him to get involved in the show.

However, it was Brock Lesnar who made his return on this week’s episode of Raw in a complete surprise capacity. In his first appearance since SummerSlam 2022, he ended up attacking Bobby Lashley with two F-5s and a Kimura Lock.
Lashley was then instigated by Seth Rollins to put his United States Title on the line and eventually he lost it to The Visionary. Lashley then stated in a backstage interview that he wanted his attacker to return this Monday so that he can seek redemption.
As a result, Brock Lesnar will be back to possibly feature in another segment against Bobby Lashley. This may also confirm the rumored matchup between the two at WWE Crown Jewel, next month. According to Andrew Zarian on Twitter, it seems like both WWE and USA Network are very happy with the top superstar’s return,
“USA network and WWE are both very happy with the direction of Raw. Lesnar returning on the show felt like a “make good” to many at USA for not having Bray on Raw following the buzz from Extreme Rules.”
As noted above, the October 17th, 2022, episode of Raw takes place at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The updated card for the show goes as follows,
– Brock Lesnar returns
– Seth Rollins (c) vs. Matt Riddle – United States Championship Match
– Cora Jade appears
– Elias’ returns
– Dexter Lumis vs. The Miz
