WWE has officially announced the subsequent appearance of “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar following his spot within the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last month. Ahead of “WWE SmackDown” on Friday, WWE revealed on its X (formerly Twitter) account that Lesnar will appear on Monday’s episode of “WWE Raw” from Atlanta, Georgia.
“@BrockLesnar returns to #WWERaw THIS MONDAY in Atlanta!” the account posted, alongside a video of Lesnar’s entrance, with the link to buy tickets to the show.
Lesnar last appeared within the Royal Rumble, where he entered #22. He notably had multiple confrontations with former NXT Champion Oba Femi throughout the match and Lesnar eliminated “The Ruler” from the bout. Following the Rumble, many fans assumed that Lesnar vs. Femi can be the plan for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, but Dave Meltzer reported during an edition of “Wrestling Observer Radio” in the times following the Rumble that the match was not one hundred pc confirmed.
The episode of “Raw” may also feature a tribute to AJ Styles in his home state. Styles lost a career-threatening match to GUNTHER on the Rumble, thus seemingly retiring the “Phenomenal One.”
Following being named in former WWE worker Janel Grant’s civil lawsuit against Vince McMahon alleging sex trafficking, Lesnar returned to the corporate after a two-year hiatus at SummerSlam to attack John Cena. The pair would go on to have a match at Wrestlepalooza, WWE’s first premium live event on ESPN, and Lesnar’s most up-to-date singles match in the corporate. He also competed on the heel team alongside Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Drew McIntyre at Survivor Series: WarGames.
