When will fans be seeing Brock Lesnar return to WWE programming?
Brock Lesnar had last been seen on WWE programming at the SummerSlam pay-per-view on August 21. This saw him defeat Randy Orton via TKO, busting The Viper’s head open to cause the finish. Lesnar then F-5’d SmackDown Commissioner, Shane McMahon.
On Monday’s episode of Raw, we got a glimpse at what’s probably next for Lesnar. His manager, Paul Heyman appeared on the show to address Goldberg’s interview on ESPN. This led to The Advocate issuing a challenge for the former WCW star “anytime, anywhere”. The 49-year-old would take to Twitter to say he’s returning on the October 17 episode of Raw to answer. Given that he’s showing up, “yes” will likely be the response.
To further this, the Target Center announced that Lesnar would be appearing on the October 24 episode of Raw from Minneapolis, MN.

He wouldn’t be showing up for no reason.
It’s possible we see Goldberg and Lesnar headline the Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 20. A slight indication of this may have been with Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan challenged for three 5-on-5 Traditional Elimination Matches for the show. If most or all of the top stars from both Raw and SmackDown are in these bouts, it would free up the main event for Goldberg vs. Lesnar.
This potential rematch would be the first time these two have met since WrestleMania 20. Their match arguably was one of the most underwhelming contests at The Show of Shows ever. Both men were also leaving WWE after the event, which put a damper on things.
12 years later, we’ll see if this match can work. It will probably headline Survivor Series, so WWE will have to bank on it succeeding.
