What Happened
WWE has confirmed that Brock Lesnar will make an appearance on tonight’s episode of RAW in Atlanta, marking his return after a quiet period following the Royal Rumble. This announcement has generated significant buzz among fans, especially with the release of a new Lesnar T-shirt featuring his iconic catchphrase, “Here Comes the Pain.” The timing of these developments suggests that Lesnar may have a more substantial role leading up to WrestleMania.
Why It Matters
Lesnar’s last in-ring action occurred during the Royal Rumble, where he was eliminated by Cody Rhodes and LA Knight. With Roman Reigns already set to face CM Punk at WrestleMania, the focus now shifts to Lesnar’s potential opponents. Paul Heyman, Lesnar’s advocate, issued an open challenge during the February 23 episode of RAW, claiming that no one on the current roster is brave enough to face “The Beast.” This sets the stage for heightened anticipation as fans speculate who might step up to confront Lesnar.
What’s Next
Lesnar is scheduled to appear on five consecutive episodes of RAW starting March 16, inviting challengers to confront him. As WWE builds towards WrestleMania, the atmosphere is charged with excitement, particularly with CM Punk’s upcoming title defense against Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber. The developments surrounding Lesnar’s storyline are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the WrestleMania card.
