Brock Lesnar is Set to Work Both “SummerSlam” and “Night of Champions”

The latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims that Brock Lesnar is set to work both “SummerSlam” and “Night of Champions” this year. Lesnar, who has only worked two consecutive Pay-Per-View events once since his return to the company in 2012, will work a program with someone that will carry over from event-to-event.

As we previously reported, Lesnar has been rumored for “Night of Champions” on Sept. 21. However, it seems as if this rumor has been confirmed, as WWE is looking to “stack the deck” when it comes to the booking of “Night of Champions” this year. 

The current six-month subscription for the WWE Network will be ending on Sept. 2, and in hopes of getting every subscriber to renew their contracts, WWE wants to make “Night of Champions” a massive show. Lesnar, being one of the company’s top money-makers, is coming off of what could arguably be the biggest “win” of his career, as he brought the Undertaker’s undefeated streak to an end at WrestleMania XXX.

It is rumored that Lesnar will be getting involved in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship picture soon, possibly at “SummerSlam.” Rumors also pit Paul Heyman guy Cesaro against Lesnar soon, much like the “Paul Heyman Guy vs Paul Heyman Guy” angle used in 2013 between CM Punk and Lesnar. Cesaro is expected to get pushed to the moon following his victory over Lesnar and separation from Heyman.

Editor’s Note:
I’m going to go ahead and book Lesnar’s next program. You have Lesnar come back prior to the build towards “SummerSlam” claiming he should be getting the title shot at the PPV. You have Heyman begin pushing for this as well, saying there’s no one else out there that deserves a title shot more than Lesnar. This begins to not sit well with Cesaro, who Heyman has been saying the same thing about since April. Tensions between Lesnar and Cesaro are obvious. Lesnar fights Bryan for the title at “SummerSlam,” but Cesaro costs Lesnar the title. They build towards their match at “Night of Champions,” where Cesaro will get a massive rub as being the first person to legitimately defeat the guy who ended the streak.
