Multiple surprise returns in WWE Raw show-closing segment

Monday’s WWE Raw episode ended with two surprise returns in a chaotic closing segment.

Both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns returned in the final minutes of Monday’s Raw from Madison Square Garden in New York City, each seemingly joining a side ahead of the men’s WarGames match set for Survivor Series on November 29.

Lesnar returned and aligned with the Paul Heyman-assembled WarGames team of Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed, while Reigns sided with the CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso unit in a wild brawl that closed the show.

Reigns returned after the end credits for the episode were shown on screen, adding to the surprise element.

Among the highlights of the angle, Reigns speared Reed and multiple extras playing the role of NYPD cops through the barricade.

A representative from each men’s WarGames team will meet on next week’s Raw to decide the order of entry advantage for Survivor Series.
