Bobby Lashley versus Brock Lesnar is happening, and that too in less than a month at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. The ‘Beast Incarnate’ made his shocking return to WWE Raw for the first time since SummerSlam and set his sights on ‘The All-Mighty’ Bobby Lashley!
Bobby Lashley came out for his scheduled United States Championship match against Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins. Just before Rollins could make his entrance, Lashley cut a short promo citing how he has beat the likes of Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns and even Brock Lesnar. He emphasized the fate for Rollins would be the same as rest and called him out.
However, instead of Rollins, Brock Lesnar made a shocking appearance out of nowhere! The former WWE Champion greeted Lashley with a “Good evening,” and instantly launched an attack on him. It was a sight to behold as the WWE fans in Brooklyn went absolutely wild.

Brock Lesnar hit two F5s on Bobby Lashley as the Brooklyn fans chanted for more. He then worsened Lashley’s condition with a Kimura lock in the middle of the ring. In the end, Lesnar left with pride laying ‘The All-Mighty’ writhing in pain in the middle of the ring.
After Brock Lensar’s assault, the scheduled match started, but Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins picked up a shocking victory to become the new US Champion, ending Bobby Lashley’s US title reign at 100 days.
Potential reason Brock Lesnar returned and attacked Bobby Lashley on WWE Raw
Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar faced each other for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble earlier this year. Lashley won that contest with some interference from Roman Reigns, which allowed him to capture the WWE Title from Lesnar.
Fast forward nine months later, it doesn’t seem like Brock Lesnar has forgotten the blemish in his record book. In fact, the ‘Cowboy‘ is back for revenge, and he is hungrier and meaner than ever!

Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar has been a dream match since decades. It even came to life at the Royal Rumble, but it wasn’t a full-fledged title feud that one would expect between mighty men of Lesnar and Lashley’s stature.
This jaw-dropping return from Brock Lesnar and the physicality that followed is proof that we’re in for a treat whenever these mighty men square off in the ring.
