WWE to determine Brock Lesnar’s Super ShowDown challenger on Raw
Brock Lesnar will have a WWE Championship defense prior to WrestleMania 36.
WWE has announced that Ricochet, Seth Rollins, and Bobby Lashley will face off in a triple threat number one contender’s match on Raw tonight. The winner will challenge for Lesnar’s WWE title at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia later this month.
On Raw’s go-home show for the Royal Rumble, Lesnar gave Ricochet a low blow after Ricochet interrupted him and Paul Heyman, challenged Lesnar to a fight, and asked if Lesnar was scared. Drew McIntyre eliminated Lesnar with a Claymore Kick in the men’s Royal Rumble match after Ricochet gave Lesnar a low blow.
McIntyre won the Rumble and will challenge for the WWE title at WrestleMania.
A rematch between Liv Morgan and Lana is also set for tonight’s Raw, and Randy Orton will address why he attacked Edge last week. Morgan defeated Lana in their match on last Monday’s show.
Super ShowDown is taking place in Riyadh on Friday, February 27 and will air live on the WWE Network. The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E) defending their SmackDown Tag Team titles against The Miz & John Morrison has also been confirmed for the show.
