Brock Lesnar And John Cena Return To WWE On December 19

Big stars are back earlier than expected!

Brock Lesnar and John Cena are being advertised for a December 19 house show at the Forum in Los Angeles, CA. F4Wonline are reporting that this date is part of Lesnar's contract, in which he now works occasional special house shows. Presumably there's also an excellent chance that this L.A date will become a Network special, just as WWE did with Lesnar's Madison Square Garden and Tokyo appearances. The MSG Special ended up becoming the most watched non-PPV show in Network history. WWE hasn't ran in the Forum in recent memory, but it goes without saying that Los Angeles is a hugely important market to the WWE. That's why they are using one of Lesnar's special house show dates here. As for Cena coming back early, that really isn't a surprise. He had originally been scheduled to be back December 26 at the New York City house show, but most insiders figure he'll actually be back on December 13 at TLC in his home state of Massachusetts. No word on who Lesnar and Cena will be facing on the December 19 date, but it has been suggested that Cena will be feuding with Alberto Del Rio on his return. He's also been advertised to defend the US Title against Sheamus on the December 26 show. So Del Rio or Sheamus against Cena makes sense for Los Angeles, while Lesnar will likely face a jobber.
