Brock Lesnar to appear on WWE Raw tonight
Brock Lesnar will be returning to WWE television on tonight’s go-home edition of Raw.
WWE announced this afternoon that Lesnar will appear at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina for tonight’s show, which is the last episode of Raw before Crown Jewel. Lesnar is set to face Braun Strowman for the vacant Universal Championship in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this Friday.
Lesnar’s most recent appearance for WWE came when he interrupted Roman Reigns vs. Strowman at Hell in a Cell last month. Paul Heyman was on Raw last week and built up Lesnar vs. Strowman at Crown Jewel. Strowman interrupted him, and the segment ended with Drew McIntyre laying out Strowman with the Claymore Kick.
Reigns relinquished the Universal Championship last Monday when he revealed that he’s battling leukemia.
Tonight’s show will also feature the final build to Triple H & Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker & Kane and Raw’s side of the World Cup tournament that is being held at Crown Jewel.
