The wrestling fans expected The Beast Incarnate to get his revenge on Reigns at Backlash. However, the company has clarified that Brock won’t return to humble Roman Reigns at Backlash. Although, it could mean that WWE has planned a massive surprise for The Beast.
Why will The Beast Incarnate be a bigger attraction at Money in the Bank 2022?
The former WWE Champion’s status for the Backlash is crystal clear. Since WWE has not planned a revenge storyline for The Beast, they will book him for the next Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank 2022. Wrestling fans will be relieved to know that WWE has planned more time for Lesnar on television.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that the company has been distributing promotional material in the Las Vegas area. The likes of Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair are all shown on the material, implying that they may compete at the event. Another recognizable face in the advertisement is Brock Lesnar.
Can the former WWE Champion repeat history?
If The Beast Incarnate appears at Money in the Bank 2022, he could be a part of the classic ladder match. Lesnar already won the Money in the Bank in 2019; however, that was a last-minute decision. In 2019, The Beast won the Money in the Bank and won the coveted briefcase.

So The Beast Incarnate can grab himself an opportunity to win the Money in the Bank briefcase this year as well. As of now, there are no updates on Lesnar’s status at this Premium Live Event. However, given Lesnar’s recent loss to Roman and his status, he will undoubtedly be a part of a high-profile match.
What do you think can ‘The Beast’ dethrone Roman Reigns by cashing in Money in the Bank briefcase if he wins the classic ladder match?
