Here he comes again. Last night at Hell In A Cell, Brock Lesnar made his return from WWE after a full month away from the company. While that doesn’t sound like that long on paper, it’s much more interesting when you consider that Lesnar seemed to be heading back to the UFC full time, particularly with a Heavyweight Title fight against champion Daniel Cormier penciled in for January. That’s a long way away though, so what might be on tap for the time in between?
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the current plan is for Lesnar to wrestle a match at the Saudi Arabia show on November 2. There is no word on who he will be facing at the show, though it isn’t likely to be Universal Champion Roman Reigns or Braun Strowman, the two of whom will be facing off against each other in a six man tag. Lesnar is still rumored to be facing Cormier in January.
I’d say he looks fine.
Opinion: I can’t say I’m surprised at the idea of Lesnar wanting to earn a huge payday for what will likely be a short match. Just let him go out there and beat someone up for the sake of getting some extra cash while someone gets a slight rub of getting to face Lesnar. That being said, I’m not sure Lesnar needs to be around anymore. He had the big loss at Summerslam, so what is he supposed to do now? I’m sure we’ll find out, but I’m not all that thrilled at the moment.
