Brock Lesnar Moving To Raw In Upcoming WWE Draft?
FOX won't be best-pleased if Brock Lesnar trades SmackDown for Raw in WWE's Draft.
WWE teased the prospect of Brock Lesnar jumping to Raw in the upcoming 2021 Draft during the latest episode of SmackDown.
Kayla Braxton asked Paul Heyman backstage about rumours she'd heard from "sources", but the Advocate-turned-Special Council shot them down and told the interviewer said "sources" didn't know a thing; WWE wouldn't even mention this on camera if they weren't considering a brand switch for Brock though.
It'd be fun to find out what FOX chiefs think about that possibility.
Lesnar's rivalry with Roman Reigns seemed like a ratings-popper for the blue brand when the 'Beast' returned at SummerSlam. Despite Brock appearing in Madison Square Garden last week, WWE seem intent to slow burn the feud through until Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on 21 October.
It's already been announced that Brock vs. Roman will happen on that supershow.
The 2021 Draft goes down on the 1 October and 4 October editions of Raw and SmackDown. This may mean that Lesnar jumps show before locking horns with Reigns in Saudi. In theory, he'd be a major get for Monday nights.
At least USA Network execs would be thrilled.
