Update: Brock Lesnar Won’t Face Bo Dallas at Madison Square Garden

It was reported here at WrestlingRumors.net earlier in the day that “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar would be facing Bo Dallas one-on-one at the special WWE Network event on Oct. 3 at Madison Square Garden.

This bout would stem off of Lesnar’s attack on Dallas from this past Monday night on “Raw.”

That story has since been proven false in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required):

“The WWE announced another live network special on 10/3, a Saturday night house show from Madison Square Garden. Based on the numbers of the Tokyo show, the company is now really behind the idea that Lesnar is their biggest attraction. His new deal calls for a few house shows, and they’ll probably all be network specials. The idea is that this will be Lesnar’s first match at the Garden in more than a decade. Right now it is not decided who he will face. The decision is likely to be made this week, but any reports that it’s Dallas are incorrect.”

The former WWE and UFC Heavyweight Champion is coming off a controversial loss at “SummerSlam” this past Sunday, passing out to Undertaker’s Hells Gate submission hold.

Matches confirmed by WWE for the MSG card include Seth Rollins vs. John Cena, Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro, and Randy Orton vs. Sheamus.

Editor’s Note

I still BO-LIEVE, though. I wonder who WWE would be crazy enough to throw in the ring with Lesnar under the bright lights of MSG.
